A Review on Abraham: Following God’s Promise

Logos Bible Software is launching a new series of interactive Bible study curriculum material, starting with Abraham: Following God’s Promise. This new series includes tools to allow churches and small group Bible studies to more thoroughly study the lives of Bible characters through these new, interactive tools. What’s especially nice is everything, from sermon starters to graphics to leader’s and participant’s guides, are all included, and everything syncs with the Logos ecosystem, so the curriculum integrates seamlessly with Logos Bible Software, Logos Bible Software’s mobile apps, the FaithLife Study Bible app and FaithLife community, and Proclaim for broadcasting slides on air.

When one purchases the curriculum through Logos.com (also available in a series), three volumes are included in the collection: the participant’s guide, the leader’s guide, as well as a set of instructional videos. Here’s a brief look at all three volumes.

Participant’s Guide

EDIT: Updated reading PDF for 2013.

I like reading through my Bible every year. And since it is the turn of the year, I'm sure I'm not alone and many of you are selecting your plan or have done so. But I wonder if others have just determined that they'll struggle through the same old list and risk passing out in February when Leviticus hits. (Don't dis my favorite OT book, but I understand the problem.) So if anyone is looking for a Bible reading plan for the new year that's a little different, but still covers the Bible in a year I offer up my Historical Backbone of Scripture plan.

Last year I worked through a kludged replica of Prof. Grant Horner's reading plan.  I found it a bit daunting for my own style of devotions and soon felt like I was laboring to keep up rather than enjoying God's word. That is the wrong state of mind. So I set out to change that.

The Historical Backbone of Scripture

I scaled Prof. Horner's plan back quite a bit and built one I simply call "The Historical Backbone of Scripture."  The plan consists of six divisions; and for my purposes represents the 66 books of the protestant canon.

Just a quick note:

Logos 5 is now available. New features include Timeline (there in 4 but hidden), Clause Searches, Bible Facts, and Sermon Starter Guide among other new and improved features. Read more here: www.logos.com/features

Also out today is a new version of Logos for Android that promises you can now edit Notes on your Android device.

I am going on a men's retreat this weekend, so this is wrong time to test new versions (no time to experiment) but plan to try out in detail once I get back...

God Bless...

Update:
Good news! More options (including a free engine update) are coming... See this link for details:
