NIV Application Commentaries are on sale at $7.99. I only realised as I put a couple in my wishlist yesterday and today saw they had been reduced.
That's a great price. Here's a link:

They're not all $7.99, but many of them are.
Thanks for pointing this out - very interesting and welcome[Y]
Wow, that is a great deal. I needed five volumes, and now I have them!
I will be a scab and break my Zondervan boycott for this. I had some other things I was planning on getting tomorrow, but this will take precedence.
Thanks for pointing this out.
This is one of my favorite commentary series. What a great price! Much cheaper than what I paid for them.
I did buy them earlier and had the price appear to change in my cart. But if you hit your back arrow and return to the cart they will probably all show the discount. So do not give up, in the end I did get all 42 at the correct sale price.
I got all 42 volumes for 335 and change. Now that's what I call a super deal; especially, coming from Zondervan!

Did you get that deal today? That is a fantastic deal.
I paid $785 a year ago. I'm simultaneously happy for everyone that's getting this deal and disappointed that I paid too much apparently. I guess I need to adopt and stick to a rule that I won't ever buy anything again that isn't at least 50% discounted.
I just picked up a dozen and am pleased as punch. Everything worked just fine.
The problem is that you never know what's going to be discounted in the future. It's very rare to get this kind of deal, and if you stuck to that rule, you'll miss out on a lot. (FWIW, I already had all 42 volumes, so missed out on the bargain, too.)

I hear you Mark. I've been able to get in on some good deals in the past that more than make up for the difference I paid for NIVAC. Too bad this couldn't have been a deal on the EBC rev. [:)]
This is great to hear for a lot of people. I already picked up the worthwhile volumes in the 2.99 Kindle sales they did in the last year so I won't be grabbing anything else.
This series varies widely in quality so it's in your best interest to check the commentary surveys (OT, NT) to find out which volumes you actually want. Those two books have saved me a lot of money and pointed me to excellent resources I wouldn't have otherwise seen.
Here's another option to check out the ratings of the individual volumes for those who may not want the entire set.

Based on Best Commentaries I have Exodus, Ezekiel, Ecclesiastes, and 2 Peter/Jude in my cart. Any other volumes highly recommended? I'm having a tough time finding reviews that go through each book.
I have NICOT/NICNT, NAC, Pillars, NIGTC, and the Tyndale set if that matters. Some of the BECNT and WBC volumes are also on my radar, but I'm not pulling the trigger until they go on sale.

Michael,
The only volume that I liked and refer to often is George Guthrie's "Hebrews." While the set as a whole does not appeal to me, Guthrie's volume is a rare treat.

If you are interested Denver seminary has a list of books and commentaries. Most of the NIVAC appear in these.
Old Testament http://www.denverseminary.edu/article/annotated-old-testament-bibliography-2015/ search here brings back 23 results.
New Testament http://www.denverseminary.edu/article/new-testament-exegesis-bibliography-2015/ search for NIVAC brings back 17 results.
I picked up a few. Thanks for the heads up!
Hi John, I think you are the first person from one of my LUO classes that I've seen on the Logos forums. Glad to hear you were able to obtain several of the NIVAC volumes. As you can see from my Discussion Board posts, the insights in the NIVAC often find there way into my replies. [:)] I pray that you will benefit greatly from them.

Scored the entire set for $335.58. This sat on my wishlist over $900 for a very long time. This deal was to big to pass up.
My advice to those who are still hesitating is: Get it! and if you don't like it return it, but as it is right now the price is cheaper for the entire old and New Testament set than just the New Testament alone at regular price. Don't pass up this great opportunity you will regret it -- heck, even those who bought it more expensive before the sale regret not waiting a little bit longer for such a great deal to come along. Sale ends May 9th!
You'll all be happy to know that I've talked my wife into letting me get the commentaries - of course that's all in my mind. Now I just have to actually talk to her about it.
