Piper Collection on Prepub For Libronix

Minutes ago, Logos announced the prepub of a John Piper collection. It is the digital text of most of Piper's major works. If you can afford it and are able to read well on a computer screen, this is highly recommended as it will give a high degree of searchability and interactivity to the text making already profitable text, that much better. Combine this with the recent announcement of a sermon collection, and Libronix just became the best place to read Piper.

I do note however that some books are missing from this collection, which I wish were there and hope will be added before it goes to final publication. Among the missing are:

• Let the Nations Be Glad (This is MUST reading and really should be in a "Piper Collection)
• The Justification of God (Best and most thorough treatment of Romans 9:1-23 that I'm aware of)
• The Supremacy of God in Preaching
• Recovering Biblical Manhood & Womanhood
• Suffering & The Sovereignty of God
• Sex and the Supremacy of God

Beyond the Bounds & Pleasures of God were previously published by Logos in Libronix format, so if you own those (like me), I think you're just buying the same resource twice. I hope that they'll let us gift it if we have purchased two copies. Nevertheless, this is an excellent value for resources even more useful digitally than in paper-and-ink format.

John Piper Sermon Manuscripts in Libronix

I was working slowly but surely on copying and pasting all of John Piper's sermons into a Libronix Personal Book so that I could use the powerful search features of Libronix to search Piper's 27 years of sermon manuscripts. Now I can delete that work because Logos is selling the exact thing that I was working on. Logos just announced the prepublication of the John Piper Sermon Manuscript Library. Even though the sermons are all available for free online at Desiringgod.org, the ability to perform more powerful searches, annotate, hover for complete text of verse references, and take the collection with me when I have no internet connection is more than reason enough for me to purchase. 

I have seen at least three John Piper collections popup and then be removed from the Logos.com prepublication feed so watch this blog for announcements of more John Piper resources in Libronix. Currently, the only other resource available is Pleasures of God (highly recommended).
