Last Chance: Evangelical Exegetical Commentary Shipping Soon!

  |  Fri, May 20, 2011   |  Misc   Comments Off

Evangelical Exegetical Commentary (44 vols.)A few years ago, a core group of Bible scholars began to dream of what a new Bible commentary could look like. What if a new commentary series could be published—a kind of commentary pastors could use for sermon preparation, and a standard reference work seminary students could consult for exegetical research? What if this commentary was designed and written primarily for a digital environment—and especially for use in Logos Bible Software?

The Evangelical Exegetical Commentary began out of those conversations. Now, that dream is about to become a reality. In less than two weeks, the first volume in this brand new commentary series will be released.

Think of what a milestone this really is. It’s the first major Bible commentary series to be published in many years—long after everyone said it couldn’t be done. It’s the first Bible commentary series ever to be written with a digital environment in mind. It’s the first major Bible commentary where the authors are using Logos Bible Software to research and write the commentary. (Maybe you’ve asked yourself: “Would *insert your favorite commentary name here* have been better if all its authors had used Logos in their research?”) This list goes on and on.

We’ve been amazed and humbled by the number of people who have gotten behind the project—who’ve supported it, endorsed it, and pre-ordered it. If there was ever a question of whether a new commentary series was needed, that question has now been answered by all the people who have committed to making it happen.

  |  Tue, May 17, 2011   |  Products   Comments Off

The Face2face Collection—now available on Pre-Pub—helps you reflect on the lives of significant biblical characters and draw upon the lessons of their lives. This nine volume collection investigates the circumstances that have shaped their lives, and connects those historic events to the way God moves in people’s lives today.

Take a closer look at David, Elijah, Samuel, Sennacherib, Simon Peter, the two Tamars, Bathsheba, Rahab, and,—a recent addition to the collection—Elisha. Read about how God’s plan unfolded in David’s battles and triumphs, what examples Elijah gives us to help break through spiritual darkness, how God used Bathsheba’s painful times for good, how Samuel teaches us about God’s purpose for us, and much more.

Each title includes helpful study guides with discussion questions and points of reflection that are great to use in small groups or for personal devotion.

Check out what others are saying about the Face2face Collection!

“They are biblical; they have sound theology; and they are relative to the issues at hand. The material is condensed and manageable while, at the same time, being complete—challenging balance to find.”
—John MacArthur, Pastor-Teacher, Grace Community Church, California

“David, Volume 1: Encountering the Man after God’s Heart is easily the most fascinating account of David’s life that I’ve ever read.”
—Dr. Kent Philpott, Pastor of Miller Avenue Church, Mill Valley, California

“Insightful biblical interpretation and powerful theological truths are compellingly portrayed and carefully explained through Samuel: Encountering Samuel the King-Maker.”
—David S. Dockery, President, Union University, Jackson, Tennessee

“Out of the stony slabs of antiquity, Sennacherib emerges, flesh and blood… Sennacherib: Encountering Assyria’s Great Terrifying Ruler is a must for preachers and teachers and an invaluable aid to Bible study.”

Logos 4: Spacebar Equals Page Down

  |  Mon, May 16, 2011   |  Training   3

mp|seminars TipsAs you read through Logos resources, you can “turn the pages” by using the Page Down key on the keyboard. If you’re like me though, sometimes it’s hard to find that little key or keep your finger on it as you move through a resource. Here’s a little trick I always use:

  • Press the Spacebar which is the same as Page Down. I can always find that big key on the keyboard!
  • Need to retrace your steps with Page Up? That’s simply Shift + Spacebar.

These simple shortcuts save me valuable time as I work my way through a resource.

Remembering A. W. Tozer

  |  Thu, May 12, 2011   |  Misc, Products   1

A. W. TozerMay 12 marks the passing of author, pastor, and editor Aiden Wilson Tozer. During A. W. Tozer’s forty-four year ministry, he pastored several churches and wrote more than 40 books. Although Tozer has been gone for 48 years, his words, through his books and sermons, still minister to the world today.

A Few Facts about Tozer

  1. As Tozer was walking home from his job one afternoon, he heard a street preacher say, “If you don’t know how to be saved…just call on God.” When Tozer got home, he did exactly that by going into his attic and praying.
  2. Tozer used an area in his family’s basement to spend time in prayer and meditation. Tozer’s friends say that he spent at least 5 hours a day in prayer by himself without contact with anyone else.  Tozer once said, “As a man prays, so is he.”
  3. After preaching, Tozer often refused to stand at the church door to shake hands with the congregation because in his mind, that was “glad handing people and setting himself up to be flattered and thus self-deceived.”
  4. Tozer served as pastor of Chicago’s Southside Alliance Church for thirty-one years. During his time there, the congregation grew from 80 to 800 members.
  5. The Moody Bible Institute radio station, WMBI, broadcast a weekly radio program from Tozer called “Talk From a Pastor’s Study,” which focused on Tozer’s studies at Southside Alliance Church. Because of these broadcasts, Tozer was asked several times to minister to Chicago-area Bible colleges.
  6. Tozer often quizzed his seven children on what they were reading and created special bedtime stories for them.
  7. In 2007, the A. W. Tozer Theological Seminary was established as part of Simpson University. The seminary offers graduate degrees in Bible and Theology within a “Tozer culture,” in which they strive to honor, respect, and cheer for one another.

What have others said about Tozer?

“If a sermon can be compared to light, then A. W. Tozer released a laser beam from the pulpit, a beam that penetrated your heart. If you have never read Tozer—what are you waiting for? Thirty minutes spent in a Tozer essay is often better than a week at a Bible conference.” —Warren Wiersbe, Bible Teacher

“Tozer lived for and preached Jesus Christ. Contemporary Christians can benefit by discovering—or rediscovering—his writings.” —Franklin Graham, President/CEO, Samaritan’s Purse

“Tozer was a man of incisive words and momentous thoughts. Their forcefulness and acuity make his writing richly rewarding to contemporary readers.” —Christian Reader

“A. W. Tozer’s books reflect a unique blend of genuine piety and downright common sense. He challenged every sort of spiritual pretension while evidencing a devotion to Christ that was every bit as sincere as compelling.” —Charles W. Colson, Author

Explore Tozer’s Words

The fifty-seven volume A. W. Tozer Collection contains books written by Tozer or compiled from his sermons and editorials posthumously. This collection is a great way to discover Tozer’s thoughts on a variety of subjects, read his powerful sermons, follow daily devotions, and look into major themes throughout his books.

Several individual titles from Tozer are also available including:
