(cross-posted at our respective blogs: Gons, Hoskinson, Naselli)
Christians will give an account to God for their lives, and wise Christians live in light of that sobering reality (Rom 14:12; 2 Cor 5:10).

Phil Gons reflects on advantages of Logos books over print books after moving his his library from South Carolina across the country to Washington. I heartily agree with him!
Cf. “Are E-Books Riskier Than Print Books?” and “How Is an E-Library Superior to a Print Library?” in my review of Scholar’s Library: Gold (Logos Bible Software).
Phil Gons just announced that he is now working for the makers of Logos Bible Software! (He also writes, “Some of you may want to check out the Logos resources that I’m selling.”)

If you don’t subscribe already, I’d strongly recommend adding the PastorBookshelf blog to your blog reader. It’s a new feature at PastorResources that Phil Gons just started in mid-February. The site explains,
- “Welcome to the new PastorBookshelf, your portal to information on books for pastors. Instead of providing you with only five book excerpts per week, we will be connecting you to a wealth of helpful information on the web about books and their authors. We spend time surfing the web for helpful material and bring it all to you in one location so you can access it quickly. You will be able to learn about the author, read an overview, read an excerpt, read reviews, shop for the best price, find it at your local library, and much more.”
- “As we come across new material, we will update the entries. If you have reviewed the book, feel free to post a link in the comments, and I’ll update the entry. You may also post your reviews on our site. We hope you find this new format helpful.”
Phil Gons, one of my closest friends, just contributed an insightful post to a blog forum comparing Logos and BibleWorks. I’m in complete agreement with Phil on this (cf. here).
