Singing the praises of the Christian History Libraryre

February 22nd, 2008 at 9:58 am. Posted in BPA news.

I just received my latest order from FACE: the Christian History Library in Libronix. It is the best investment I’ve made in a long time.

There are 11 volumes included (see the list here). They are all searchable and interactive, so I can search a topic and the program will search all volumes for every reference. It saves so much time.

I can also tag passages with my own notes and save them. This is very handy as I study.

The footnotes are hot linked as well, so when it refers to other volumes you can click and read the full context of the footnotes. It’s so nice not to have to get out 4 books to read 4 pages!

It copied all the volumes to my hard drive, so I do not need the CD-ROM every time I need to use the program. I can just click the icon and get cracking. It saves time on 4-R ing subjects and word studies as well, because it contains a KJV Bible and Webster’s 1828 Dictionary.

If I discover any more cool things the program will do I’ll post again (and I probably will!). The hard copies are also terrific to have because sometimes you need to hold a book or you just don’t want to be at your computer. But for study and lesson preparation this is a wise investment.

Yeah for you! I’ve been vacillating since FACE came out with it (on my “wish-list” for dh). This certainly is still on my “to-buy” list – one day, soon I hope! Hey, our anniversary is coming! On Easter this year Would love to read more about it from you.

BTW, happy (belated) birthday Anna-Marie! Hugs, Miiko

Fortunate you! I’ve been wanting this CD-ROM too. Someday. (Forget jewels or flowers; I’ll take this!) I’m particularly interested in the resource by former Stonebridge Teacher Gai Ferdon. I believe the book is called A Republic if You Can Keep It. Have you had time to peruse this yet?

Thank you for posting about this. I just saw the ad yesterday and decided I would buy it. I think the price is fair and the cross-referencing alone is probably worth it! For someone like me who has a lot of foundational materials to collect, it really is a good deal.

Glad you like it! I hope you get a lot of good use of out it. Thanks for the nice review! I added a line from your review to our Christian History Library product page. Please let me know if you’d rather not have it there.

Blessings!

Phil,

it was my pleasure. It’s a terrific resource. I can’t wait to get into it more and put another post together.
