The Purpose Driven Life?
Why is Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life not available in Vyrso? There are all kinds of derivatives of it (an evangelistic booklet based on the first three chapters of it, a daily devotional based on it, and The Purpose Driven Church), but not the original book itself. It's not one I'd pay a lot of money for, but if it were available for the same price as one of the above, I might buy it, just because it was such a phenomenon for a while when it first came out.

When Faithlife has a title that they KNOW they want as a "Logos edition," they withhold it from the Vyrso catalog (since they don't intend to have two "editions" of the same title).
I am not sure if that applies here or not... It is strange that "life" is withheld while "church" is not.

Hi Rosie,
I'm looking into why we don't sell the title, my initial assumption is that we're hoping to get have the title in Logos in the future.
Thanks!

They could always sell it to us cheap as a Vyrso edition and then let those of us who bought it that way upgrade to a Logos edition for free. [:)]

This book is so readily available in print, I'd be shocked if it wasn't on a thrift shop shelf near you.

I don't buy print editions of books like this that have absolutely no long-term value to me. Not all that eager to buy in in Vyrso either, but if it were there and were cheap enough I might. Was just curious why the inconsistency of offerings, that's all.

Have you purchased it? The "blurb" is often sent over from the publisher and is quite often incorrect when it comes to things like video and audio. Can you confirm the video / audio?

The video and audio are handled via links in the text.
At the beginning of each chapter is a link:
At the end of each chapter is another link:
It turns out that these both go to the same place (zph.com/pdl/c03 resolves to www.purposedriven.com/day3) but there is both a video and an audio message on each such page.

I own this resource on Kindle (picked it up when on a publisher sale). I will wait and pray for a publisher sale + continued availability in Vyrso.

I never thought to look before, but they also have Left Behind.
All they need now, to be complete, is The Prayer of Jabez.
I do, however, see the value in having PDL in one's library, for the historical and anthropological* value.
*Not in the Doctrine of Man sense, of course; that wouldn't be in this book.

Ah, but for the historical and anthropological value of a true collection of "top bestselling Christian books damned by critics who didn't bother to read them" we would need Love Wins - and of course The Shack.
Way to go, Vyrso.
Have joy in the Lord!
