Hi Friends,
One of the things that I use Logos for is to prepare our worship services, including readings, creeds, hymns, prayers, etc. I am wondering what tools you use to search and organize sample prayers, in particular. For example, here is a sample inquiry I might have:
- type of prayer: Confession
- verse range: James 1:1-11
- Did anyone write a prayer that might spur us on here? (John Owen, Tozer, Calvin, whomever).
Some devotional books are chock full of prayers, but searching them by text is sometimes more difficult. I was trying <James 1:1-11> NEAR prayer... but the results were scattered and not often actual prayers, but more commentary on a prayer or the word prayer is mentioned, but it's not the thing itself, only a reference to prayer.
Related to this, does anyone have a Collection that pulls together the best of your worship leading books? What search parameters did you use to create your collection? Here is my collection, but it has 254 resources, and they are not overly specific, so the results are too varied. How would you improve on this?
title:prayer OR author:Tozer OR topic:worship OR Owen OR Creed OR hymn OR tag:worship
My end goal is to get a "worship leading" layout set up, so that my search parameters and key books are open when I open that layout.
Thanks for any help!
Chris
