Angels: New book by Dr. Heiser on pre pub
https://www.logos.com/product/148914/angels-what-the-bible-really-says-about-gods-heavenly-host
With $19.99 this one is a bit pricey for a book of only 144 pages, but if it's 144 pages of good quality, then I might spend my Q3 birthday coupon on it...

What is the normal price? It usually is listed next to it in other Pre-Pubs

FL is not playing fair when a book, published by them, has merely a full price.
I urge people to boycott this tiny book + others like it that have no better pre-pub price.

I agree that the price is a bit on the high side for 144 pages but everything that Dr. Heiser has done has been excellent in my opinion and so I have placed my pre-order.

I'm sorry but I don't agree with you on this. Good quality work is worth the price.

Books have a lower pre-pub price - but theirs do not. I have a strong feeling in my gut that this is not right; after all, pre-pub was promoted for years. I call it arrogance.

I agree regarding the quality of Dr. Heiser's work. Sadly, I also feel this resource is priced too high. I'll wait and hope for a sale. If it doesn't happen, I guess I'll do without.Bruce Dunning said:Jan Krohn said:With $19.99 this one is a bit pricey for a book of only 144 pages, but if it's 144 pages of good quality, then I might spend my Q3 birthday coupon on it.

I agree they should offer better pre-pub price, but don’t think we can compare books of similar length to determine a fair price. The value of a book is so much more than the page count.
From a customer viewpoint it does feel a little like we are being taken for granted and Faithlife assumes we will simply buy the book because of Heiser is the author and they can ride on the wave of the ‘popularity‘ and ‘controversy’ of his previous titles, but I would give FL the benefit of doubt since I don’t have all the facts of how that price was determined.

The number of pages is an important criteria for me buying at FL. Their insistence on not, in the past, giving page numbers for their own volumes has interested me in determining the length of every one of their newer volumes.
On the Product Page, I look at the bumpf right at the top, then head for page bottom to acertain page count generosity.
As a private individual, I have no book budget, so book length is important to me every time.
Schreiner's covenant book on pre-pub at 9.99 and 144 pages is right-priced. As well, he is a quality author, to my mind.
But, I would not pay 19.99 even for Schreiner.

Ur most welcome, Keith. Schreiner has a way, in few words, of explaining challenging concepts.

I, too, judge a book by its page count. Few authors can escape first positioning their subject. Then historical posturizing, while regurgitating the evidence. And finally a conclusion that introduces new material the author forgot to discuss. All of this can almost never be achieved in less than 150 pages.
The angel book (being careful to know nothing about it, but using the above formula), clearly isn't going to successfully explain what angels like to eat (Hebrews author), and why the protestants dumped them (my impression).
Finally, it's getting really tiresome authors tagging Babylon. From Jeremiah, we can deduce powerful Babylonian idols were indeed quite plausable to your average judean recently having arrived.

This seriously made me laugh, you know!!

Actually, the third part of the Façade trilogy would have excited me considerably more. [:D]
