I'd especially like Logos to add in Jody Dillow's 4th edition to Final Destiny to Logos.
This is available on the Faithlife ebooks site at https://ebooks.faithlife.com/products/167868/final-destiny-the-future-reign-of-the-servant-kings-4th-edition
(I wasn't sure if you were referring to its availability or suggesting inclusion in a package but thought it worth pointing out it was available)

ooops, I even own this one and had overlooked that! List updated. Should all the books published by Grace Theology Press on ebooks.faithlife.com be put onto the reading list?
Have joy in the Lord!
In addition to what's been mentioned, these two resources would belong well in a Free Grace Theology base package:
The first one above was a part of a base package at some point.
eChristianResources.com - Connecting Christians With Quality Evangelical Resources Available For FREE On The Internet (including links to free Logos/Vyrso resources!)
Sorry if this is slightly of topic, but can any one suggest the best 2 or 3 books that clearly describe what Free Grace is and isn't (not from a critical viewpoint unless a Free Grace proponent can recommend it!).
1. Final Destiny 4th editon by Dr. Jospeh Dillow (This is the best in my opinion)
2. A Free Grace Primer by Zane Hodges (former prof at DTS)
3. Free Grace Soteriology by Dr Dave Anderson (President of ATS accredited Grace School of Theology)
4. So Great Salvation by Dr. Charles Ryrie (Simple, clear, and short - not the best though)
I think one of the challenges, for Faithlife Corp., would be to assign someone to oversee the selection, and make sure the volumes included qualify as "Free Grace." Since this is a relatively new movement, there is a danger of causing dissension over which books ought to be included, and which ones ought to be excluded.
Normally, and traditionally, "packages" have included some basic and cornerstone publications: Bibles, commentaries, lexicons, etc.
I think a good technical term to use here might be a "Series." Or "Collection." That would be easier in the doing, and wouldn't involve as many within the Logos staffing.
But the issue remains: who will be the final authority as to what gets included or excluded?
This is a phenomenal idea, and I think Logos wouldn't mind considering it...as long as we get our ducks in a row. They can't afford any legal quagmires, or fierce criticisms. After all, it is a business, and depends upon a high percentage of happy customers to exist.
Blessings.
I created a Free Grace Bibliography from the books I own.
I believe you can click on the link to make it available in your library.
If I can figure out how to share my collection I will make it available. I can't find how to do that in my docs.
John,
When I try to get it, and click on "Details," it says your file(s) are listed as "private." Can you find a way to change the listing to "public?" Thank you so much.
Paul
It should now be available in your public documents under Free Grace Bibliography and the Collection should be Grace. You can then just add them to your Docs.

I’m sure they can talk to Grace School of Theology in order to come up with a recommended book system

Is it possible to have a Free Grace/Dispensationalism package? In my opinion, there are enough books based on the topic in logos that it could substainly hold its own package category.Furthermore, it would become very useful to Free Grace colleges and seminaries. Does anyone else feel the same?
prior to creating a base package or base package flavor line, Logos typically offers a "library builder" package that bundles a lot of the books relevant to the respective group. Maybe if you post a cross-post under the "Suggestions" subforum, this will catch the eyes of the people responsible for such products.

Interesting, thank you for this information.
I'm not familiar with "Free Grace." Is this once saved, always saved doctrine?
Thanks.
Susan MurphyI would say "a variant of". But you can believe in "once saved, always saved" without being necessarily in the "free grace" camp.
Thanks for the reply. This terminology is new to me even though I've been a Christian years.

RT Kendall's book "Once Saved, Always Saved" is a great presentation of the variant I preach. Grace is indeed free, but there is still a cost associated with unfaithfulness. Unfortunately Faithlife don't currently list this book, but I'd recommend it very much.

Others may be able to refine my understanding, but I think of "Free Grace" (Hodges) and "Lordship Salvation" (MacArthur) as ends of a continuum. It depends upon one's understanding of repentance. At one end a person is justified purely as a free gift of God by simple faith (what some may call "easy believeism"). At the other end of the continuum is a person who is justified by God's grace in response to personal faith and repentance. At the "Free Grace" end is the idea that an infant plays no role in his/her birth. At the Lordship end is the idea that "If Jesus isn't Lord of all, then He isn't Lord at all." Both would agree that Biblical Repentance is a gracious gift that comes from God, but the disagreement comes in how repentance manifests itself.
I hope this is helpful and mean no disrespect to my brothers and sisters who disagree with my summary of the issue.

Miss Susan,
The simplest way I know to describe "Free Grace" is the saying: "faith alone in Christ alone."
In other words, "not of works lest any man [person] should boast."
As opposed to, as mentioned above, "if He's not Lord of all, He's not Lord at all." In other words, God saved us, and all we have to do is believe it, and it is ours. Receive it. Grace is Free.
Some of the people in this Forum belong to a Free Grace group on Facebook. If you're interested, please let us know, and we'll give you the exact name of the group so you can apply for membership.
The only caveat is that it is presumed you believe in a "no works" Salvation.

Can we have it at no cost and without conditions?!
I jest of course.
