I'm thrilled this is in prepub. It's the only book I have suggested that's ever been picked up by Logos. I am in. Hope others see its value and jump on it too.
This is pretty close to half way now! Hoping to get some more light on it to get it over soon.
Looks like its at 66%!!! Need some more to help push it over the edge!

Help us out. This is a great reference book. I have the hard copy and Kindle. Would love to have it in Logos.
Looks like just about 9% left to get this thing over the top!
Look at what J.I. Packer says about this work:
“A massive product of exact and well-informed scholarship . . . with landmark significance. . . . I give this book top marks for its range of solid scholarship, cogency of argument, warmth of style, and zeal for the true glory of God. I recommend it most highly.”
What do you know about Limited Atonement:
“Limited Atonement” is the middle letter in TULIP, but as author and pastor Douglas Wilson explains, that name might give the wrong impression. “The problem with ‘limited atonement’ is that it makes everybody think ‘tiny atonement.’” And, of course, no good Christian wants to cast the cross-work of Christ as diminutive.
The better term, says Wilson, with a growing number of voices, is “Definite Atonement.” Same doctrine, better name. This way of putting it emphasizes the extent of Jesus’s accomplishment, rather than its restrictions.
Just a little bit more to go. Help us get this definitive work in Logos.
Are we really able to import Kindle books (or other purchased e-books into Logos via Personal Books?
David S. Daniels:Are we really able to import Kindle books (or other purchased e-books into Logos via Personal Books?
Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I fully understand about the need to ensure local laws are complied with. I am in Canada.
This means then, I assume, that the PDFs and other e-Books I have downloaded from places that make public domain classic titles available (e.g. Project Gutenburg, Internet Archives, Christian Classics Ethereal Library) can be imported to Logos through Personal Books.
Am I correct?
Absolutely! You need to convert the file into a .docx file to allow Logos to incorporate it as a Personal Book - and it will likely need some editing to get the format you want. You can find out more information on the process here:

You could always head to the files forum, download a PB file someone else has created and shared, to practice building it as a Personal Book in Logos:
