The term "biblical counseling" in the logos website search box pulls up a variety of hits, including those authors who advocate for a psychological or integrationist approach (which is unfortunate for some of us).  Instead, I see a tremendous opportunity for Logos to team up with the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors and the Biblical Counseling Coalition to provide a curated list of Logos resources.  I expect that, for many of us, it would improve the marketability of the counseling tool within Logos.  Thank you for considering.

    And absolutely essential for some of us. The strength of Logos is in the breadth of materials it provides.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I sure get what you’re saying. I wasn’t suggesting a restriction to the breadth of availability.  Rather, this is more akin to one of Logos denominational packages. It would promote and sell more resources for a large and growing group of people who have a conviction about what biblical counseling is...represented by those two organizations.

    Over the years, I had recommended Logos coordinate with each denomination for a curated and approved set of resources for members, so they wouldn't have to waste money on unfortunately incorrect books.  I think it'd be a big money-maker.

    Thanks DMB.  You may have some valid points for Logos to consider.  However, for this thread, I'm only providing a suggestion to Logos to consider biblical counseling.  ACBC and BCC represent cross-denominational convictions that could expand Logos into a new and untapped area.
