Berean Study Bible Personal Book
I ran the Berean Study Bible USFM from here:
https://berean.bible/downloads.htm
through BibleMultiConverter to produce a Logos Personal Book:
The Berean Study Bible has a very permissive license, so there shouldn't be any copyright issues posting this Personal Book here (I also filled out the licensing form provided here: https://berean.bible/licensing.htm before posting here).
I didn't do an exhaustive check to make sure BibleMultiConverter did the export correctly, but I didn't see any issues in my spot check.

Yes, I was made aware of this recently on the github page where I posted this file as well. Unfortunately, the automatic conversion script I used appears to have not liked the formatting of the BSB input files I used.
I'm afraid I don't have the time to look into the issue right now, with the health issues my daughter is dealing with, but I'd love if someone else could take over this file and fix some of the issues!
I ran the Berean Study Bible USFM from here:
I went to that page but downloaded the Word option. It compiled successfully the first time. I did not put in the milestones, however. And I see that the text may be pulling in from online sources so this may not be a relevant test.

Kevin would you be so kind as to helping me to use that program? I have done what I've read online to run a java program but I'm running into problems getting it started. My name is Frank Dean Hodges on facebook, if you could shoot a friend request there, i Don't know how to message on FL. If not I undnerstand, if so,many thanks.
I noticed that some other Bible software companies have official versions of the Berean Study Bible. I wonder if Faithlife is / will be developing one?
eChristianResources.com - Connecting Christians With Quality Evangelical Resources Available For FREE On The Internet (including links to free Logos/Vyrso resources!)
I'm hoping they will have an official version sooner or later!
In the meantime, I started writing a python script to convert the .usfm files from the BSB website into html for import into Logos. I'm about half done, and working on it about 15-30 minutes a day, should finish in about a week or so.
Once I'm finished, it'll have footnotes, poetry formatting, list formatting, etc. I'm also cleaning up the headers and such, compared to the file I posted previously. And it shouldn't be missing those Psalms verses [:)]
I'm writing the script to fail and quit on any unexpected errors, so I'm doing all I can to not silently omit or insert errors in the final book, and am checking things as much as possible as I go.
If Logos doesn't put out an official version before I'm done, I'll post it here.
Here's the first draft of the BSB formatted by the Python script I wrote. I'm still checking it's formatting and such, so I wouldn't call it a "final" version. Please let me know if you find any issues with the text, or formatting issues.
Updated book:
I added all the verse references, so Logos can jump directly to individual verses in the BSB.
I fixed another formatting issue. For an example of what was fixed, compare Rev 3 in this version with the previous.
... and more formatting fixes (see Numbers 2)
Here's the final version of the BSB for Logos from my python script. It has all the 2nd printing updates, italics for quotes in the footnotes, and I did a diff between the original usfm text, and my final html output from the script to make sure there was no missing text/additions/changes.
Please let me know if you find any formatting or text issues.
Thanks Kevin![Y]
Thanks Kevin. I hope it compiles correctly. Did it work for you?

Thanks!
The build failed for me with 1 warning and 2 errors.

Can you post what the errors are? I was able to successfully build this book, so the error messages will be helpful to debug the issue. Thanks
What does the PBB log say?
Have joy in the Lord!
