Not a problem! Let us know if you have any other titles you'd like to see!
Here is the complete list of Terri Blackstock's titles on Vyrso: http://vyrso.com/products/search?Author=Blackstock%2c+Terri

I would love to see the book, "Grace Upon Grace," by Greg Neal. I have over 7,000 books in Logos, but I will always consider my collection incomplete until this wonderful little book is included.

Your best bet might be to start by contacting the author and/or publisher. As far as I can tell, it isn't available in digital format. Until that happens, there is zero chance of it getting into Vyrso, since the conversion process is fully automated. (I guess they could try cramming the paper volume into the CD-ROM drive... [:P])
EDIT: I sent an email to the author.

Alabama, i know the author, and feel certain he would grant permission for publication. I am also certain he has the book in digital format. Does that still present a problem?

If it exists in digital form, that is a great start. I don't know anything about the publisher… the author may or may not be able to grant permission for the book to be released in another format. I will send Brian an email and ask him. [:)]
By the way, if you know the author, and if things don't work out through Logos/Vyrso, you might be able to secure a copy for yourself and turn it into a personal book. If you don't know how to do that, I can walk you through it.

I would love to see all of John Ortberg's books. You have a bunch; I'd like to see the rest.

I would like to see The Genesis Flood by Henry Morris and John Weldon in Logos and Vyrso.
0 -
Gary - Did you mean this instead? I think you have the wrong "John". If so, this isn't a likely "Vyrso" book... I am unsure where this volume fits with the authors other works... I know Logos has a similar work... Is it perhaps an update and extension of this one?

Alabama, that's the correct book. I never did find it in Logos or Vyrso.

"The Genesis Flood" isn't really a good candidate for Vyrso for a number of reasons.
- Vyrso books are converted to the Logos format via an automated process using the publisher's ePub file... Since the book in question is apparently no longer in print and unavailable in an electronic format, its unlikely to be picked up.
- Vyrso resources are generally "trade" books, rather than "academic" ones. Most Vyrso books fall into fiction or "Christian living." The book by Whitcomb & Morris is more academic in nature, and would likely be "saved" for a "Logos edition" resource.
I would recommend making a suggestion in the suggestions forum (or bumping an old thread if there is one).
EDIT: I did find a 50th anniversary edition, but there still doesn't seem to be an ePub version... http://www.amazon.com/Genesis-Flood-50th-Anniversary-Edition/dp/159638395X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372561335&sr=8-1&keywords=The+genesis+flood

This thread: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/70202/501479.aspx#501479 has a diverse list of suggestions, and should be a great home for requests in the future. Thanks!

Carlo M. Martini books (many of these are brief and easy to read, published for example by Liguori, Missouri and The Word Among Us Press, Maryland). He was a Bible scholar skilled in Greek and cardinal.
Paul Johnson (1976). A History of Christianity. Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London. Excellent! ***** I have read the first chapter, covering 50 B.C. - 250 A.D. several times, and I have interest in other eras as well.
Ray Simpson (2008). A Guide for soul friends - The art of the spiritual companion. Kevin Mayhew, Suffolk, United Kingdom.

Thanks.
I honestly think you should get a list of new ebook resources coming out from the publishers you regularly work with, take out stuff that's not suitable for here (e.g. commentaries, bibles and stuff where Logos will produce a fully tagged resource) and offer everything else here.
Until this day comes, we'll suggest books we are most interested in. Currently for me this would be the series "Theologians on the Christian Life" by Crossway (I posted about this earlier) - I can hardly refrain from buying them at Amazon. Currently four books, making the thoughts of theological giants accessible to non-scholarly readers. The books receive stellar critiques, as I can see.
- Schaeffer,
- Bonhoeffer,
- Wesley,
- Warfield.

The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code
A fascinating retelling of the deciphering of the Linear B tablets from Knossos and Pylos/Mycene with special emphasis on the contribution of Alice Kober. Lots of intriguing discussion/particulars of the unknown script and the unknown language behind it and how it was finally cracked in 1952 by Michael Ventris.
I rate it ten bags of popcorn!
Published just this year.

This thread seems to have been abandoned a while ago as the consolidated place for Vyrso book suggestions. Attempting to revive it. I'm not sure that having one thread for suggestions is the best idea, though, since it's hard to find and can disappear easily. And people obviously have not been adhering to it.

Just found out about Tim Suttle from this article by him that a friend of mine who attends his church posted on Facebook. I liked the article so much that I looked up the books by him mentioned in his bio at the bottom of the article. I see that Vyrso is already offering a pre-order of one of them (Shrink: Faithful Ministry in a Church-Growth Culture). I'd like to suggest the other two:

Thanks for reviving this thread! We'll see what we can do to develop relationships with these publishers.

Logos already has a relationship with Cascade/Wipf & Stock, which is the publisher of the first of those.

You are correct about the established relationship with Cascade/Wipf & Stock. I was referring to the other books/publishers referenced previously, and our goal to keep working with Wipf & Stock to get as many of their books into Vyrso/Logos as possible.

Here's another suggestion for Vyrso:
Gordon T. Smith, Called to Be Saints: An Invitation to Christian Maturity (IVP Academic, 2014). It's got enough footnotes with references to other works that might be in Logos, that it might be one to eventually convert to Logos format. But I think it could very well start out as a Vyrso book. It's available in Kindle already. Looking forward to the day when there is no delay between a book being released on Amazon.com and it being available on Vyrso.com.

That is already true for many titles... But not for ones designated for Logos. I have suggested a number of times that Logos should release some works on Vyrso (at a higher price point) that serves as a "pre-pub" price for books designated for Logos. It would provide immediate access to new, important works, and ensure that the right kinds of resources end up in Logos.
