Custom Reading Plan - same book 20 times ?

I ran across this article http://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/how-to-change-your-mind1#When:08:01:00Z and it hit home. I'd like to try it and would like to setup a Reading Plan in Logos 6 to read a single book 20 times. I just don't know how to do this.

Some ideas on what I'm looking for:

1. Read Ephesians 20 times, once per day for 20 days.

2. Read Hebrews 20 times, once over a 3 day period.

3. Read 'x' 20 times, once over 'n' days of 4-5 chapters a day.

Thank you for your advice and wisdom

If Logos 6 you could use a custom reading plan.

Add Ephesians 1-6 for the first session, add again for the second and so on.

Im not at my computer so can't provide screenshots at the moment

Graham - thank you - that works. I was hoping for an automated approach but this definitely works for smaller books. I'll have to break down the larger ones and create those as well.

May our Lord bless you and yours and all Logos users in the coming year

You could set up the reading plan to Read 'x' once over 'n' days and let Logos automatically break it up into chapters for you. And then run the reading plan again at the end of the 'n' days, and again and again 20 times in all. You'd have to manually keep track of how many times you'd done it, though. I agree it would be a good thing if they provided a way to automate reading books multiple times.

Now that I have one plan setup - is there an easy way to share it with friends who are new to L6?

I found export to calendar - not ideal for what I have in mind. Sharing with the community doesn't look as useful as I don't see how to setup a community to share it with :-)

If you go to https://faithlife.com/ you can create a group (button at the top right), invite others to join the group, upload the reading plan document and then the others will be able to download it.

If you need more details please advise

You can share Reading Plans using Faithlife document sharing. Click on Documents > Share Documents. You can find info on how to do this in the Logos Help file by typing shared into the Help search box. They don't seem to have specific help on sharing a Reading Plan, but the help info on sharing any other kind of Document will give you the basics, and it works the same way for different Document types.

Interesting approach to sharing.

I was hoping to be able to export it to some format and email it to a friend.

Have a blessed day.

You can indeed export it to a Word document or HTML or iCalendar and email it to a friend, but then it can't be imported directly from any of those formats into Logos. Choose Print/Export... from the panel menu in the Reading Plan calendar view and you'll see this dialog box:

It would be nice if Logos implemented a way to import Reading Plans from other formats, but they have not done so to date.

Well, you could print it to a PDF [;)]

Sharing within the Faithlife environment is much easier for those friends to import into Logos (if they don't have Logos, forwarding the outlook calendar entry is probably your best bet).

Incidentally I just made some screenshots to explain sharing a Passage List: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/98446/680053.aspx#680053 - Reading Plans are a bit different but actually easier, since you just specify the group within Logos and that's it, every member can simply connect (you may try with Graham Criddle's advent reading plan in group faithlife beta).

You may be able to export it to Outlook Calendar and then share your outlook calendar.

I've taken the challenge of reading 20 times through each book. FWIW, I decided to do the Pentateuch first and the Gospels second. I'm not using any reading plan beyond that, but I do see that there is some merit in it. I'm in my second pass in Genesis so far and it's a blessing.
