Carla,
Since I will be here all week. I intend to catch the News on LOGOS.
Will keep my fingers crossed.

The price I gave you was Faithlife essentials. Faithlife Starter is only 8.99 a month. I would call customer service and ask about it. You would probably get some additional volumes added to your library, but it does not come with the 2% cash back coupon every February. If you aren't buying anything, that will not be a drawback. As long as you have Connect, you get any new feature upgrades immediately.
I don't mind the rant.
Question, you mentioned a lot about sermons. Have you kicked the tires on the Sermon editor yet? You can develop an outline, slides, handouts, etc.
Obviously, I don't preach, being a female in the Church of Christ, but I do write. Currently, just for personal reasons, but I will be branching out in the near future. Haven't decided what that will look like yet, but I will be doing some kind of writing. Probably having to do with the Bible and mental health. I plan on using those tools, Sermon editor and Sermon Manager to keep it all organized. Right now, I am just using Word and One Note, but hope to integrate all that in Logos eventually.
Give customer service a call and have them explain in depth about the different levels of subscriptions. There are four: 8.99/mo, 99/yr, 14.99/mo, 24.99/mo.
Thanks, Carla
I may have mis-spoke. The Faithlife Connect Starter, the one that is 8.99/month may not include all the features and feature upgrades. You may have to go to 14.99/mo for that. Call customer service to make sure. Carla
Mark:
I know you have completed Zerr, vol. 1, but is this the breakdown by volume of the rest of it. I've seen different versions. Thanks.
Vol. 1-Gen-Ruth
Vol. 2-I Sam-Job
Vol. 3-Psa-Isa
Vol. 4-Jer-Mal
Vol. 5-Matt-Romans
Vol. 6-I Cor-Rev
Yes, Calvin That is what I've Got.Actually, It used to be Six(6) volumes as you list in your post.Before they started printing in Paperback Version, the publisherCombined Vol. 5 and Vol 6 into one large Volume. So, if you canfind this out-of-Print Hardback, it will probably be Five Hardbacksinstead of the original Six. The Combined Volumes 5 & 6 has approximately 377 pages in Volume 5 and 356 pages in VolumeSix. That's a total of over 730 pages covering the New Testament.
The print is pretty small, with no scripture. Just commentary. If it wasprinted in a larger Print and Page size it would probably be somewhere between 1200 and 1500 pages just for the New Testament Portion. I'd say altogether, more like 4,000 pages altogether.
You can download the .PDF versions of all the Volumes from the RestorationLibrary at http://restorationlibrary.org In the search box, type "ZERR" andit will give you the links for all the Volumes and then allow you to downloadeach volume. The owner scanned all Five of the Hardbacks for me and mailedthe books backed to me. The .PDFs on the above site are the .PDFs he created when he "scanned" my books. I entered all the text into WORDSearchseveral years ago. When I switched over to LOGOS I decided to take the WORDSearch Userbook and convert it to LOGOS format.
You can download the entire WORDSearch Userbook from my old Bible websiteat http://djmarko53.wixsite.com/churchbooks What I did in WORDSerch, wasto export the entire module as a single HTML File (Over 20MB in size). I thenloaded into WORD and saved as a .docx format which is about 9MB in size. Now,when I do Zerr's Commentary on a particular book, I just copy the text from the main.docx file, past it into a new .docx file and save it for edited and eventual use in theLOGOS Personal Book Editor.
By the time you read this Post I will probably have uploaded Zerr's Commentary on the book of 1st Chronicles. I have already started on Zerr's Commentary for 2nd Chronicles.Also, on my old website (see above) I believe you can still download the Commentary forZerr's on each of the 66 Books of the Bible.
Zerr also published in the early 20th century a book with over 16,000 Study Questions onthe New Testament. It was divided into Questions for each chapter in the New Testament.Some of the Chapters have as many as eighty (80) Questions per chapter. He also publisheda book which has Questions for Every book of the Old Testament as well. I have been thinkingof taking his questions and adding them to the Commentary I have been working on for LOGOS.Thought it would be a good way to supplement his Commentary. Also, these Questions are alsoavailable as a download from my website listed above. They are in .PDF Format.
In Christ,
Mark Johns
I love discussion and study questions, application resources. I can't wait for you to add the questions. My biggest gripe with Logos is they do not have the resources "Complete Bible Discussion Guide for the Old Testament and the New Testament." I have to make sure and load this over in the new feedback tool. I may visit your website and download them myself after I get the Audie McKee studies done.

Calvin,
Forgot to say that when all the .docx are loaded in order into the PersonalBook Editor to create the Zerr Bible Commentary there are no errors or mistakeswhen they are compile into a single Bible Commentary.
Again, below is the image file for Zerr's Commentary so you can include itin the mix when you compile the book.....
Well,
Here is the Book of Second Chronicles from the Zerr Bible Commentary.

Thanks for your help. I am now working on the Book of Job this weekend. After that, i will start on the Book of Psalms.
I'm so thankful for your work on this. I hope you will be able to continue.
Mark DeVore ---- Thank you for doing this. I also hope you are able to continue on through the New Testament.
If I could help.... I'd be glad to. Zerr's commentary is an excellent addition to anyone's resources.
xn = Christan man=man -- Acts 11:26 "....and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch".
I ran a test today and checked out personal book building. It seems that Logos automatically turns book-chapter-verse into such Bible references. Which brings up a question.... why do we need the "[[@...]]" for referencing book-chapter-verse? Seems like we just need to make sure we are using the right heading for what we want to do with the text.
For example.... we reference James 1:1 as "[[@James 1:1]]" or "[[@Jam 1:1]]" and set it to Heading 3.
When, it looks like, all we need is (set the book) - James (set to Heading 1), set the chapter - James 1 (set to Heading 2) and set the verse - James 1:1 (set it to Heading 3). I did this in my test and it worked fine.
Is there some reason I'm missing that we need all the "[[@...]]" stuff?? Looks to me like extra typing..... But it's easy for me to miss thing that are important....
Take a look at the documentation for Personal Books (PB). The sections in milestones and commentaries explain it a little better. You are right, that when you create a PB, Logos parses and recognizes the verse references and makes them into links. These can be exploited using the Cited By tool. However, to make a verse-by-verse commentary track with a Bible automatically when you set both the Bible and the commentary to link set x, then it needs milestones. https://wiki.logos.com/personal_books#Milestones
xnman: It seems that Logos automatically turns book-chapter-verse into such Bible references. Which brings up a question.... why do we need the "[[@...]]" for referencing book-chapter-verse?
Logos automatically creates a link for the reference. The milestone marker sets off a section of text as about a reference e.g., in a commentary it is a block of text that expounds on the text. Furthermore, it is the milestones that are indexed to allow the text to be linked with another text with the same type of index.
Orthodox Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."
Thanks Matt and MJ..... I knew there was a reason.... and what you guys say makes sense now.
Thanks again.
