Good news!! Dan Graves responded again today and said that he had forwarded my request on to the manager of CHRISTIAN HISTORY. Praying it will all work out for His name!!

This looks like an excellent resource. However, we would need permission to convert them into e sword since they are copyrighted.

If you could get permission I am sure that some of us would help convert them to e sword.

Blessings,
Peter



Dan Graves from CHRISTIAN HISTORY magazine has been back to me twice by e-mail. He must be busy but I have made a very clear request to him re: his mag as an e-sword module. Checking daily for his final word but the mater is in process.

I want to respond to so much of what is going on here. But suffice to say that AS A PASTOR WITH BIBLE STUDIES AND SERMONS HAPPENING EVERY WEEK that the reference library, illustrations, parallel versions feature and just about everything esword offers is useful to me. I have spent hours trying to learn EVERYTHING it does and this prog is an absolute Godsend to me. Again, I am very disappointed at the comment that "why add the Shepherd's calendar" when only a fraction of the people would use it because so few are Pastors. I am completely persuaded that so few are Pastors ONLY BECAUSE SO FEW PASTORS REALIZE THIS PROG EVEN EXISTS.

AGAIN I THROW OUT THE CHALLENGE: TELL YOUR PASTOR ABOUT THIS. BRING IN YOUR LAPTOP AND SHOW THEM HOW IT WORKS. WHAT A BLESSING THIS COULD BE. I AM SO SERIOUS. I HAVE DONE THIS AND AND PASTORS CANT BELIEVE THAT THE PROG IS FREE. They just go to Logos - bill it to the church - and thats it. E-sword is way better!!

"You would have an extension in e-Sword that would (when comparing against the main population of users) be only a mere handful of users. I tend to think if we had all these kinds of add ons put into e-Sword, you would probably be taking it away from the main population of users. You would have a Pastoral Management tool more than a Bible Study tool. Just my $1 million thought on it ( the 2 cent one is totally out modded)."






Well, I can only say that I am sorry so few Pastors use this. That would be a stat that I am not privy to. I know that I am the only user registered to Burlington Ontario and and I have only found one user in Hamilton next door. If that is the case and only a handful of users are Pastors - then I am very happy to be one of them. This prog is of enormous benefit and I wish I could do more to get other Pastors on to this. I know of a few who pay huge dollars for Logos etc. I can only think that they have more money than time to research the Internet and discover e-sword. I withdraw my suggestion and you are free to delete it. With regret - Walter.
PS - with 14,000 plus users - what wld happen if they all took time to tell their Pastors about this?

Ah ha. Leave it up to me eh? Brilliant strategy. Let's see what I can do here. When our illustrious MODERATOR throws me a bone will I run with it or cower away from responsibilty? What sort of stuff am I made of eh? Stay tuned for the next episode of "Man or Mouse"! LOL
