Irving Jensen's Do-It-Yourself Bible Study Guides

Mattillo said:

If these could be made available in Logos as a free add-on or with this collection that would be most helpful!

Thanks for the interest, Mattillo! I will post here if/when there is news of such an addition by Logos . . .

 If you want a feel for his work you can purchase old testament and new testament survey  and the volumes he wrote for the everyman's Bible commentaries from Moody. Extremely practical! 👍

I just spoke with Faithlife and learned they're waiting for just a "few dozen" more orders on the Jensen Collection before going into production. On the single title of that collection, Independent Bible Study, they need just a "handful" more orders -- "very close" . . .

I do so hope this gets going asap!

Hi, Joe! I just spoke with Faithlife on Oct. 3 about my Dad's collection, and they told me they are just waiting for a "few dozen" more orders . . . The single title, Independent Bible Study, is "very close" to being ready for production. Thanks for asking!

Nice  answer from Logos; they might as well just asked us how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop 🙄 "A few dozens!" Really?

"A group of engineering students from Purdue University reported that its licking machine, modeled after a human tongue, took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. Twenty of the group's volunteers assumed the licking challenge-unassisted by machinery-and averaged 252 licks each to the center." ---- Google

Sure would like this to be one of my Christmas presents.  Could I get some help pushing it over the line?

I'd settle for at least seeing it in production.

Here is the book.

Before Kay Arthur, there was Irving Jensen.  He didn't have all the different markings but he showed us how to break a book down, overview, chapter, passage.  I cut my teeth on his inductive approach.  That learning helped me get through seminary at 50!  I would enjoy having them electronically and it would benefit my teaching in Sunday school and small groups.  

Karen Jensen Collins indicates that we are almost there! "a few dozen more'. We have great theological books in Logos, we need more tools in how they can glean those truths from the Bible for themselves.  I am seeing a dumbing down in the church, we are even having to tell them what page number in the Bible to turn to.  Maybe because they need a more hands on approach to study, rather than filling in the blanks.  

Jensen challenged me to think, to really look at the passage and he did it by modeling how it can be done.   Let's get these guides into production.  Thanks for reading, go hit the button.

Need just a few more to opt in.

The Pre-Pub price is only a few dollars less than the stated regular price.

I wouldn't call 26 dollars "only a few dollars" myself, I consider that to be a significant saving

It's so close I can barely stand it.  I can't believe it hasn't hit yet!!!

https://www.logos.com/product/55678/irving-l-jensen-collection

My suggestion would be, turn to the competition (WS) and then see who manages to publish them first 😁 At this point, if the competition had them first I wouldn't mind getting it from them.

Couldn't agree more- have turned to WS for several resources this past year.

They have lots of sermon outlines on sale now. Pulpit Pages which is stuck in prepub limbo is there (WS) and has more content than the Logos edition.

DAL

Thanks for pointing this out.  I'm in.  

Just a few more votes needed!  

Almost there! Come on, just a few more pre-orders 👍

You know, it kind sucks that the Independent Bible Study has been in production but is not out yet. It would really help people make a decision if they saw the quality of work Mr. Irving offers. 👍

DAL

Well, WE DID IT!  Thanks for the response.  Look forward to using them.

Blessings,

In my Open Pre-pub section it is still saying Gathering Interest. Maybe someone hasn't flipped a switch behind the scenes to get it moving toward production. I would love to see this go into production.

Hey, Dal, David, Joe & all . . . I just today noticed the same! "UNDER DEVELOPMENT" for the big Collection (as well as the single Independent Bible Study book, which has been in that stage now for several months). So THANK YOU for pushing it through with your orders and endorsements!!

I phoned Faithlife today to get an update on them both from my contact, Bethany. She's out until 3.28 and no one else was able to take my call about these titles. So I will post next week when I have more info.

Woohoo!

Now listed as Under Contract. Hope to see this soon.

Karen Jensen Collins said:

Brian, THANK YOU!! It might have been your order that pushed it over the top to UNDER DEVELOPMENT!

Or Brad . . . perhaps it was YOU . . .

Many thanks to ALL . . .

Delighted to see this batch of his work has gone into development! I still treasure my kinda raggedy copy of his "Independent Bible Study" and look forward to having this set when Logos gets it out of development and released. I thoroughly enjoy having his Old and New Testaments surveys in Logos already too!

Godspeed you along the way, Karen!

I like Anthony's link...thanks.  I find good adult engaging Bible studies are hard to locate.  Those who develop them are a blessing.

If you click on "replied" in Josh's post (His Name | Forum Activity | Replied), it will take you to the post he was replying to. In this case, it is a forum member named "Anthony." In his post, he has a hyperlink. 

Thanks Alabama!  Very helpful, as usual!  Anthony's post was over 2 years old, so I don't feel so bad about my eyes not falling on it.  [:)]
