I guess that the failed Moody contract means that we won't be seeing this gem on Logos.  I really like Michael Rydelnik.  I sure wish Moody and Logos would revisit this.

    It is a shame as I was looking forward to obtaining the MacArthur commentaries distributed by Moody.  I have the current entire set in book form but would love to add the digitized versions to my Logos Library.

    I think Moody, Logos and Logos users are all losers until they get this fixed.

    [^o)] Alright, before we get into another long boring discussion about Moody and their "long gone, might never get published in Logos ever again" topic please read this:

    1) http://community.logos.com/forums/p/80108/560524.aspx#560524 

    2) THIS http://community.logos.com/forums/p/70080/487037.aspx#487037 

    3) AND THIS: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/69039.aspx?PageIndex=1 

    Everything from the Moody Bible Commentary to other Moody Titles has been discussed there.  [+o(] Let's save ourselves some time and post something that's more relevant.  How about the possibility of the Super Bowl getting moved to Saturday if they determine that the weather will be too bad to have it on Sunday? [*-)]

    Thank your for your cooperation! [A]

    I will keep out of the discussion about Moody - except to say this, my plan is to go home later this evening and use my Christmas money from a Barnes & Noble gift card to purchase this for my Nook.  Though with my wife's employee discount, it might pay to get a paper copy for about the same price.  I'll have to think about this.

    Blessings,

    Here is something new:

    I  ran across a recent post by Dale Pritchett in the mEd forum that hinted at a continuing relationship with Moody. I think he was referring to Logos and not Vyrso.

    I believe that everyone has the right to express what is currently on their mind ( I.e. Moody or MacArthur commentaries). If you don't what to read or discuss this subject, then it's probably best to not open this thread. They have legitimate concerns regarding software that they want. Whether or not the super bowl is moved to Saturday or not does nothing to help them.

    Well I'm sure glad you believe that but nobody is taking the right to express yourself from you, is just that if you want to post on the subject feel free to do so: 

    1) Here: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/80108/560524.aspx#560524 

    2) Here: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/70080/487037.aspx#487037 

    3) And Here: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/69039.aspx?PageIndex=1 

    I'm not an MVP (and don't want to be one), but MVP's on many occasions have asked those who have started threads on subjects that have already been discussed to not start a new thread, but to post on the ones that already exist on the subject.  Moody and MacArthur commentaries published by Moody and the so called legitimate concerns have already been discussed extensively (one of the threads is 19 pages long and is full of concerns and things of that sort), so there's no need for another thread on how Logos parting ways (indefinitely) with Moody affects everybody and how you wish this or that would happen.  Moody is gone for now, so let's get over it (I know I'm over it), you should be too.  The only thing you can do is cross your fingers and hope someday Moody will come back as hinted in the thread Super Tramp posted earlier...which by the way, if you want to comment on the possibility of them coming back, post on that thread, don't start a new one...LOL 

    Blessings!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Moody Bible Commentary is a NEW resource that is about to be published and the OP is completely within the forum guidelines to request that Logos make efforts to obtain the rights to add this new resource to the Logos Library.

    MVPs have mentioned (on several occasions) "while your situation may seem similar to an existing one, the best way to get new attention to a new issue is to create a new thread."

    There are at least 2 parties involved in the decision to include a resource in Logos. If authors and users express their desires to both the software company and the copyright holder, perhaps one/both of the parties will reconsider their position and move the issue forward.

    Yes, you're wrong...LOL...just kidding! Here's the issue, 1) it involves a new resource from a Publishing Co. that STOPPED doing business with Logos so why would Logos try to get into talks to see if they can get this new resource only and not get back ALL of the resources they lost? and 2) It's been discussed before (someone has already suggested they want to see this resource in Logos) see this link ~~> http://community.logos.com/forums/p/80108/560524.aspx#560524

    So, in essence, it's totally pointless to be dragging a subject that will not get resolved until Logos and Moody get their situation squared away.  As users we don't have much say in the issue as several of us already tried emailing Moody to get them to reconsider their position and nothing happened.  So there you have it! Nothing will happen unless the 2 companies come to terms in whatever their disagreement is.

    Now, unless you want to cram the issue over and over in the forums, feel free to do so, but it won't be long when all you read in the forums will be "The Moody Boring Talk" and then everybody will get annoyed.

    Blessings!

    But DAL, if they cancel the Bowl, when will we see the great commercials that are a SUPER part of the game? ;)

    I had the opportunity of watching a live game a few years ago and it was a good experience, except it was very cold and I forgot to bring a sweater with me.  Live commercials are better than TV commercials.  Plus you get to see live what you don't get to see on TV during commercials.  I'm still not a football fan, but don't mind watching it every now and then.  Kind of like soccer, I only watch it 1 month every 4 years (World Cup) -- now that I'd like to go see live!

    Sorry buddy, you're a little too late, Cliff already beat you to it.  [;)] Maybe the next time that another thread on the boring moody subject comes along you can say what Cliff said I will still direct you to the other links on the same subject, though. [6] [:P]

    I am sure a lot of folks could care less about Moody Press. However, they are a major evangelical publisher and one that should be available via Logos.

    You are right. Everybody here in the forum knows that, including the Logos people (maybe even the Moody Press people) - unfortunately it seems that at the moment they haven't come to an agreement how to make this happen to their mutual satisfaction in light of the respective strategies and constraints they have to consider.

    It just seems that everything that can be said to this situation has already been said - albeit not by everybody [;)] - and some like to repeat their arguments for greater clarity or amplitude. I'd like to point out again that with 778 titles, Moody is currently the sixth-largest publisher on Vyrso.com which includes ongoing new books and not only fiction, e.g. a PrePub work by J.P. Moreland about the soul. But yes, we are missing something over here and hope that the two companies get it sorted out soon (a new idea [I] ) 

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile
