A Library of Sermons by S. Lewis Johnson
Please see this thread for some details: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/127671/831159.aspx#831159
Compile as type Monograph. Lots of Warnings in the log, but I think they're the annoyance kind that don't really matter, except for the Hebrew language warnings, which I don't know how to remedy.
I compiled all 1200 in one volume; it doesn't take long. I don't really know about the pros/cons on compiling sermons as one big volume vs a few smaller ones. I added a 3-character prefix to their file names to force into canon order for the expository series. After that, the series aren't in a particular order. Suggested cover inside the zip.

Hi
Thanks so much for the library of so many sermons. Very much appreciated indeed. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how best to add these files ot Logos 6 as PBB or as several PBB's. Are all the files if docx form or does one have to go through them singly and save them as docx files to send to Logos 6. Thanks for your help.

I have discovered that I missed the expository section for 2 Corinthians (36 sermons) when I was retrieving the PDFs. I have added those to the zip file I originally posted on Dropbox (the link is repeated below) and there's a zip for just the 2 Corinthians files.
Original zip with 2Cor added: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j7e6u3dqjtm2riz/Sermons_Johnson.zip?dl=0

Two issues have come up with this:
1. I think I might have fat-fingered this into Dropbox outer darkness. 2. I discovered that Google has changed search syntax, so I had to edit the files.
The file linked below has been fixed.

I guess I am a little lost here. I downloaded the .zip file. Expanded it and now have a file with lots of sermon texts. What do I do with them now? Is there an index I am supposed to turn into a PB?
Thanks!
Dan

Hi Dan:
Sorry; things sometimes get assumed on the Files forum.
You appear to be familiar with PBs, but have you checked out this Wiki page?: https://wiki.logos.com/Personal_Books
In the meantime, here's what to do with these hundreds of docx files:
I named the files such that expository sermons are in canonical order in the resource, with topical sermons at the end.
The first thing you'll want to explore in the new resource are the Indexes. Open the Table Of Contents pane and scroll to the bottom. You'll see the sermons grouped by Passage, Topic, and Tags. The Date of the sermons weren't available to me. The Topics and Tags are a bit on the weak side; since it wouldn't be practical to tag them manually, I automated the Topics from words in the titles and the Tags are the 6-7 most used words in the sermon, with stop-words filtered.
You will also begin to notice Dr. Johnson's sermons appearing the the Sermons section of various guides (Passage, Topic, etc.).
When you navigate to a sermon, you can click the Web/Audio link. This will perform a Google search to get you within a click or two of finding the audio of the sermon. It's this part I had to re-do recently because Google has done some monkeying-around with search language.
Sad caveat: Personal Books are not available on phones, tablets, or the Web App.
