Logos for Children

You may want to join the new Homeschool Families Faithlife group. We'll be sure to post there about new resources and offers relevant to homeschool families.

As a father of four young children, two of whom use Logos on mobile devices occasionally, I've been thinking about products for children and families. We're exploring a few ideas and may start testing some in Q3.

We're considering group licensing of certain products to a Faithlife family group, so everyone in your family would be able to access the licenses on their own individual accounts. Not all content would qualify for a multi-user license, but some would—and more would over time.

If you have other recommendations on what kinds of content you'd like to see in a package for kids or a package for families, please keep the suggestions coming.

If you were going to invest in a version of Logos for your family, what price point would make sense for you?

Gosh it would depend on what it is offered.  Are we talking a subscription model?  ~$10/month?  but I'm one who prefers ownership if at all possible though I can see how sharing might be an issue.  Maybe you can go the route Apple does where you can link accounts under a family and everyone in the family can share the resources but they all have their own accounts at the same time? 

What I would really, really like to see is some high quality children's books.  There are books in FLEB but the ones I've seen the quality is terrible (see this recent post https://community.logos.com/forums/t/181799.aspx).  I know FLEB doesn't equal Logos but I always make an effort to buy books in the FLEB ecosystem first to keep all of my stuff in one place which is really important to me sadly I have to resort to buying things on Kindle as well to get a better quality in some cases, though not always.  The action bible came out really well in FLEB if you ask me but the storybook version is just bad.  I really hope you do move forward with this and can get some of this stuff into Logos, FLEB, FLTV, etc.  My family uses RightNow for a lot of videos but maybe you can partner w/ them one day?

Would it make sense for marketing purposes to do a cross-over package with Logos editions and Faithlife ebooks? I'm thinking that Faithlife ebooks like the Sugar Creek Gang series would appeal to younger kids while many of the Noet titles may appeal to parents teaching literature to High School students.

This is just awesome! Sounds like an acceptable solution to this UserVoice suggestion. 

Concerning great family oriented content, please consider getting the entire Lamplighter Publishers book catalog. It would be awesome if their audiobooks could be licensed as well.

Edit: If the entire catalog is too much, at least get this one collection.😉

Agreed! This would be awesome and I think an easy sell when trying to find news customers.

Another idea for content (especially for young boys) are G. A. Henty's great historical fiction books.

Thx!

Yes please, let us know when this happens as we will be all over it for my kids

I was surprised to see that logos doesn’t offer the ICB, international children’s bible. It would be a good thing to get if you want to add to your kids and home school selections.

The New Century Version (NCV) is a revision of the International Children's Bible (ICB).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Century_Version

It's available in Logos.

Thanks! I didn’t know that. We were doing some Phil Vischer studies last night and he kept  quoting the ICB. Appreciate your help
