Accordance Deals on B&H Publishing Books

Accordance users know that the company produces great digital Bible study tools, and now you can add to those with some Accordance Deals on B&H Publishing. I've used many of these and even did a review of one of these sets. Here's a look at what you can get with these great Accordance Deals.

Accordance Deals on B&H Publishing Commentaries

These commentary deals will save a nice chunk of change.

NAC Commentary is the Best deal in this set of Accordance Deals

• New American Commentary Series - OT Only $149, NT Only $99.90, and Full NAC Series $199.
• Christ Exposition Commentary - $99.90
• Holman Bible Commentary - Old and New Testament $79.90
• Exegetical Guide to the Greek New Testament - $99.90
• Teacher's Bible Commentary - $19.90

Those who can afford to should get the entire NAC series. It's one of my favorite commentary series. I own it on every platform that I use, and the Accordance Deals on this make it a no-brainer. Get the full set for $400 off their regular price.

Holman Bible Commentary

I also like the Holman Bible Commentary. It's a nice tool for anyone who teaches Bible studies because each passage of scripture contains some illustrations to introduce the chapter's topic. Then you get exposition and application.

The Christ Exposition Commentary is decent. It seems like a collection of sermons organized into a commentary, which can help preachers working through books of the Bible in the series.

Other B&H Publishing Accordance Deals

Here's the list of the other Accordance deals you can find on their website. First, we'll look at new B&H Publishing releases...

• Theology for the Church - $20.90
• Theology of the Reformers - $17.90
• The World and the Word: An Introduction to the Old Testament - $15.90
• Letters to Timothy: A Handbook for Pastors - $11.90
• Engaging Exposition: A 3-D Approach to Preaching - $16.90
• Anointed Expository Preaching - $14.90
• The Great Commission to Worship - $11.90
• The Ministers Manual for Funerals - $9.90

Of the above, I'm most interested in Letters to Timothy. It sounds like a useful tool for pastors who want a Biblical approach to the ministry.

I've read Anointed Expository Preaching. I don't recommend it. Olford's too captivated by alliteration, which clouds understanding instead of improving it. Check out Bryan Chappell's Christ-Centered Preaching instead.

Book Sets on Sale in the Accordance Deals

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7OViiJWh2k

The NAC studies in Bible & Theology comes with 11 volumes of excellent content about various theology and Biblical studies subjects. It costs $99.90 as a set, and I recommended it in my review last year.

The Perspectives Series Bundle costs $99.90 which gives you a set of debates from leading scholars on subjects in Biblical studies, theology, and pastoral ministry. The books present a point-counterpoint approach to the topics.

The "Is" Series Bundle comes with three books including...

• Evangelism Is...
• Ministry Is...
• Pastoral Leadership Is...

Each book covers the topics in brief chapters on each aspect of the three topics. They explain the aspects of the three parts of ministry.

Logos 9 Upgrade 6 Months Later - Is It Still Worth the Upgrade Cost?

It's been about six months since Faithlife released Logos 9 upgrade to focus on some key improvements to the computer app and the mobile app. I published my review over at ChurchTechToday.com on October 30, 2020, and talked about it here as well.

The Logos 9 upgrade brought the following key improvements, like...

• Some user interface tweaks make the software easier to use.
• An update to the Factbook in the Logos 9 Upgrade
• The interesting Sermon Manager and Sermon Builder
• A Counseling Guide
• New sorting features in the Bible commentaries section of the Passage Guide
• Improvements to the Reading Plans and the Reading Queue

In addition to the above improvements in the Logos 9 Upgrade, we also saw some decent changes in the mobile app. They added the Factbook to the menu seen in the toolbar at the bottom right corner of the app. You can also use your iPad or tablet for preaching, thanks to the new preaching mode in the mobile app. I actually love using my iPad to preach.

From now till June 15, 2021, you can get 15% off a Base Package upgrade. To do that, follow this affiliate link, and you'll get a discount. Full-disclosure, I'll get a little kickback from Faithlife.

Follow that link, and not only will you get the 15% off discount when you use the code PARTNEROFFER9 at Checkout, but you can also get 5 free books. Select from 28 different books, including some great titles.

Logos 9 Upgrade: Best Feature is New User Interface Tweaks

One improvement stands above the rest. I like the features listed above, but the simple tweaks to the user interface on the computer version of Logos 9 made the most difference in my productivity with the Logos 9 upgrade six months after Faithlife released the update.

New Account Button in the Logos 9 Upgrade

It sounds crazy, but the new button on the upper right corner of the screen helps users a lot. First, you can quickly jump to your account to see what you have or what pre-orders you might see published soon. You can also jump to Your Faithlife Profile, where you can interact with other users and see answers to your questions.

Right-click on an icon on the toolbar and the new pop-up menu shows. Create a new folder to collect different icons into a single button, which becomes a drop down list after you put it in a folder.

The other amazing new tweaks include transforming the program toolbar. For example, right-click on a book icon that you placed on the toolbar like I did as seen in the image above.

When you add books to a folder from the right-click, as seen above,
you now get a drop-down menu holding those books in that folder.

The new tweaks to the toolbar give you a drop-down list of icons from the toolbar that no longer fit on a narrow screen on small screens. See the image below to understand what I mean.

There's a new light mode, dark mode toggle in settings. People love dark mode, and I don't understand why. But if you do, then you now have it.

When your buttons on the toolbar don't fit because the screen's too narrow, there's now a new drop-down list that shows the rest of the buttons, click the two down arrows to show the list.

Other New Features in Logos 9 Upgrade

Logos seems most proud of the other new features in Logos, which include...

• Factbook
• Sermon Builder
• Sermon Manager
• Counseling Guide
• Improved Reading Plans

I like all of those, and you should see my review linked in the top section of this post from ChurchTechToday. The second feature I'm most excited about also doesn't seem big. Faithlife now added a feature to organize my library in a more useful way when I fun a Passage Guide.

Go to the Commentaries section of the Passage Guide and look in the upper right corner. You'll see ways to sort your books including...

• Priority - follows your customization where you rank certain commentaries above the others.
• Series - groups the commentaries by series, like the New American Commentary series or the Word Biblical Commentary series.
• Author - who wrote it?
• Denomination - what is the denomination of the publisher/editor/author depending on the commentary.
• Type - is it a technical or devotional commentary?
• Era - when was it published?

Mobile App Improvements

Logos added the Factbook to the mobile app too. You'll find it in the menu button in the lower right corner.

Faithlife added a preaching mode to the mobile app. That way, you can build and manage your sermons in the computer app. Then you can put your app in preaching mode and preach from the app.

Logos March Matchups Starts Today with Big Savings

I love March Madness. I used to find a set of NCAA basketball brackets and fill them out. Then I'd watch as many NCAA college basketball games as I could find time to watch. The Logos March Matchups comes along at the same time to promote Logos Bible Software.

Logos March Matchups promotes the software to customers with some deals on commentaries during the March Madness season. Logos started the promotion today, and you can start voting on which books you want to be discounted. By the way, the above link is an affiliate link. That means if you use it to buy books, then you'll help me out since Logos gives me a kickback.

https://youtu.be/7B847IGt6vA

How Logos March Matchups Works

You can participate and vote on what books they offer at the best prices. The College Basketball March Madness works like this: they rank teams in four sections from 1 to 16. The best teams are ranked 1 with the weaker teams ranked 16. Take four groups of 16 and you get 64.

Each group of sixteen plays a single-elimination tournament. The winner gets to compete in the Final Four. That's the four winners of the four 16-team tournaments.

Logos does the same, putting 64 commentary sets in a bracket. Instead of playing a game, they let people vote on which commentary sets they want to receive the steepest discount. Since they start with 64 sets, they pair them up in 32 polls in the first round. The sets that voters choose move on to the second round. In that round, Logos pairs 32 sets and 16 can win based on the votes of users. This continues to the third round with 16 teams, the fourth round with 8 teams, the final four, and the final pair. By the end, voters pick one commentary set to get the steepest discount.

Buyers get smaller discounts in the earlier rounds. The final winning commentary set will cost 60% less after March 22, the end of the tournament.

What Can Users Vote On?

Buyers can get the "Hall of Fame" commentary set, the New International Commentary on the Old and New Testament, for 40% off today. You don't have to wait for the end of the Logos March Matchups tournament. Here's how Logos describes this work:

This massive collection combines the available New International Commentary (NIC) volumes covering the books of the Old Testament and the New Testament to provide an exposition of Scripture that is thorough and abreast of modern scholarship, yet at the same time loyal to Scripture as the infallible Word of God. This conviction, shared by all contributors to New International Commentary (NIC), defines the goal of this ambitious series of commentaries.

The brackets for the Logos March Matchups tournament show the following commentary sets...

Here's my list of recommendations from each division of the brackets.

Division 1 - This section includes the New American Commentary series, my favorite set of commentaries. However, a lot of people like Word Biblical Commentary, so I think it may win the division. However, consider the Lexham Geographic Commentaries. Logos says, "The Lexham Geographic Commentaries deliver fresh insight by drawing attention to an often overlooked component of biblical stories—their geographical setting."

Division 2 - I expect that Evangelical Exegetical Commentary will win this division. It's a critical commentary written by and for Evangelicals. They focused on creating a digital tool. The other set that should challenge for the win is the Pillar New Testament Commentary. It's slightly less technical that some commentary sets making it a nice choice for preachers or teachers not doing scholarly work.

Division 3 - The New International Greek Testament Commentary Series should take this division. In fact I'll call it now.

Division 4 - Either the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary Collection or Anchor Yale Bible Commentary will take this part of the bracket. However, I'd prefer The IVP New Testament Commentary Series.

The final round should result in either Word or EEC winning it all. What do you think? Answer below to tell me what your favorite commentary is and which one you think will win it all.

Fans of Mobile Education and Verbum will also enjoy their own bracket.

Accordance Deals: 7 Perfect Price Points to Grow Your Library

If you're an Accordance Bible Software user, then be sure to head over to their website and take a look at their 7 price point Accordance deals to help you grow your library. You might already know about the sale since they send out an email to customers. But let's take a look at what's included in these 7 price points to help you decide what you might want to invest in for your Accordance Bible Software library.

I'm not getting any kickback or free content from Accordance for this post. These are some great commentaries, reference books, and tools that Accordance users should look at.

Accordance divided this wonderful list of Accordance Deals into 7 different price points, which they call Choose Your Savings. The deals start at $200 on the high end and falling to $0 for the cheapest set. See below for the books included in each price point with some info about my experience using some of these tools.

$200 Accordance Deals

The three commentary sets that cost about $200 includes one of my favorites. The New American Commentary looks at the text with the pastor and advanced Bible student in mind. It's also useful for scholars, with some technical detail in the treatment of each scripture passage.

As a brand new pastor in 1993, I began subscribing to this set in book form. Broadman & Holman sent me a new book every few months. This continued for years until they slowed down. Today, they're still missing a couple of volumes. The books missing include...

• Psalms 1-72 - no known release date
• Ephesians - projected release date of October 2022

NAC uses the NIV text. It's not too technical, so that most believers could make use of this excellent set.

The other sets included in this deal at $200 includes...

• SIL Exegetical Summary Series - gives a summary of how many different scholars treat a text. Students could begin with this and then jump to other commentaries based on what they find in this summary.
• Preacher's Outline and Sermon Bible - this commentary also includes a detailed outline of each passage. Buyers will get the commentary focusing on helping the preacher organize sermons with exegetical outlines of the text and suggestions for teaching the text. I often consult POSB when I'm struggling to outline the text or, after I'm done, to check my understanding.

$150 Accordance Deals

Bible Speaks Today - The commentary set focuses on making their commentaries understandable and readable while still covering the important details of the text. The resource helps teachers and preachers with applicable and understandable exposition. It's in my top 10 list of commentaries that I consult when I preach.

Reformed Expository Commentary - as the name suggests, this work takes a reformed approach. I'm not familiar with it since I don't own it and don't consider myself reformed. According to Accordance, the series is "accessible to both pastors and lay readers" with "exposition that gives careful attention to the biblical text" from a reformed, Christ-centered focus.

Mentor Commentary Bundle - like the Reformed Expository Commentary, I'm not familiar with this set. Accordance brags about the set holding to a "high view of Scripture and stays close to "orthodoxy while appreciating and learning from the latest theological research. This unique combination allows the reader to see what recent scholarly research has discovered without losing sight of the inerrancy of scripture."

$100 Accordance Deals

Old Testament and New Testament for Everyone - Accordance separates this set into two, so you're really paying $200 for both. However, this lets people buy one or the other if they prefer. The OT set is written by John Goldingay and covers every single passage of the OT with a simple explanation for the average person. This makes a nice devotional commentary that users can also consult as they teach a small group. The NT volume, written by NT Wright, includes his own translation of every passage in the NT. If focuses on relevance for today making it also a good devotional tool

Perspectives Series - think of this as an issues-based work with the debate over "the most challenging issues in biblical studies, theology, and pastoral ministry. You get a point-counterpoint style approach to the big issues, including things like Family Ministry, the Doctrine of God, the Sabbath, and Your Child's Education, to name a few.

$80 Accordance Deals

Lenski's Commentary on the New Testament - most of the time a commentary authored by one writer might not offer the best option. However, sometimes that one person did a great job and so you jump in. Lenski translated each passage and then covers it with a conservative viewpoint. He discusses the language and translation with great detail.

Barclay's New Daily Study Bible New Testament - people who want a devotional commentary with depth will enjoy this work. The updated version in this work helps this generation understand Barclay's illustrations and discussion.

Introduction to the Old Testament - four volume introduction to the OT. I'm not familiar with it, so take a look at the description of each work from Accordance.

$50 Accordance Deals

John Phillips OT and NT Exploring Commentaries - this work focuses on practical application in an accessible format for lay people and pastors alike. It's full of illustrations that teachers and preachers can use in their expositions. I haven't used it a lot, but do occasionally consult it for help in bringing a passage to life.

Gold Nuggets: Sermon Outlines - the Golden Nuggets comes from The Preacher's Goldmine, a monthly publication of outlines aimed at helping preachers. They organized them into annual collections and put them together in this resource in digital form with Accordance.

For Everyone Bible Study Guides by NT Wright - go through the New Testament using this Bible study guide, which uses inductive study to come to an understanding of the meaning and application of each passage in the NT. It's a great resource to get you started in preparing Bible study lessons for a small group.

Accordance Deals Under $40

Complete Word Study Dictionary of OT and NT - while I own many scholarly and detailed word study tools, I usually prefer to look at this work when I'm preparing my sermons and studies. That's because each word has plenty of cross references, that help the reader understand the Greek or Hebrew word translated in an Old or New Testament passage. It's advanced by not as technical as other lexicons. I use the other ones too, but start here.

Portable Seminary 2nd Edition - think of this as a seminary in one tool with content related to Bible surveys, theology, history, homiletics and more. Authors like my mentor Haddon Robinson as well as other contemporary writers help readers learn about how to lead the church today.

Handbook of Bible Application - this book organizes itself by topic aiming to help readers apply the scriptures to everyday life.

Hard Sayings of the Bible - tackle the tough issues in Scripture with this reference of 500+ difficult to understand passages.

Life Essentials Study Bible Notes - Gene Getz gets at the topics in this set of notes on topics and passages simply and accessibly. The goal is to support preachers and small group leaders or teachers who want to help their students and church members understand in a practical way how to live out the truths of Scripture. I love this set and own it now in three different forms and just bought it for Accordance too.

On our list this year, we get some really great books and tools for Logos 9 and Logos Bible Software, which you can use with their latest desktop version of Logos 9 or you can get it on their mobile Logos 9 Mobile app. They also work on the web app.

The above price is my dynamic cost since I own a couple of the NT volumes of this work in Logos 9. Log in and you'll find your price.

Here's the list of the 12 products and how much they cost. If you want to buy one of these, I ask you to consider using my affiliate link because it helps me continue my work of writing reviews and how-to articles about Bible software and ministry-related tech topics.

Let me highlight a couple of the above books. I use the New International Commentary: Old and New Testament sets regularly. Faithlife is offering the Old Testament package for only $500, a 51% discount. That's steep. It's both an easy to understand commentary, but has a technical level of information for advanced Bible students and people who teach and preach the Bible.

The NIV Application Commentary: New Testament comments on the text and then offers some practical application to the commentary. This helps the average Bible student or the teacher/preacher alike. You'll pay only $200, a great price for this product.

The Life Application Bible Commentary focuses on real-world use of the teachings of scripture to help Christians in their growth. It comes in at 60% off.
