Issue Searching Library in Faithlife eBooks App
When I search the library in the Faithlife eBooks app, sometimes after I've selected a book, then closed it, then go back to the library to re-open it, the book disappears from the list, and re-searching the library does not successfully load the book (this happens on an iPhone XS and iPad Pro).
Is there something I can do to "refresh" the library?
Thanks!

Here's a screenshot. when I search, Butler's Daily Bible Reading vol 1 should be appearing. It appeared earlier when I previously searched and opened the book. Now that I've closed the book and gone back to the library to re-search for the book, it is gone.
It does this with a different book on my iPad. It basically can happen with any random title.

Just thinking out loud here: is Butler's Daily Bible Reading vol 1 downloaded and the other three volumes aren't or vice versa? Does downloading one of those to the device change the search results, i.e. removes this one, too?
Have joy in the Lord!

None are downloaded. All streamed.
