As I continue to use and get more acquainted with Logos Bible Software, I will post and bring some of these things to your attention, as I hope you too may find them useful. I’m currently using the Scholar’s Library and I’m amazed at how convenient and fast it has been to access and gather [...]

Brian Kiley, who was a former student in our college ministry, and is currently a student at Fuller, has a great new blog. Live Generously. I especially love his latest post on “speaching.” Check it out. Brian, I’m wrestling with this right now…and have been for a while. Looking forward to hearing more.
