    Can my 6th grader get a discount on a Logos bundle as a "student?" I want to start teaching her to use some Logos features like reverse interlinears and need to get her a basic package. Or if you could launch a Homeschool package that includes some of these resources I would be very interested

      Jeremiah Pendleton, not at this point. But perhaps in the future we'll be able to allow you to share your existing library (or qualifying portions of it) with members of your family.

      >not at this point. But perhaps in the future we'll be able to allow you to share your existing library (or qualifying portions of it) with members of your family. Phil Gons (Faithlife), I'd love to see that "future possibility" implemented. That said, as long as the new Base Packages have dynamic pricing, that should be a good start.

      Praying for Godly wisdom as Faithlife creates & implements Christian Home base packages (perhaps in 2019 for License Agreement modification) while being cognizant that Faithlife apps & applications have been designed with single user focus so suspect every group-licensed user should have their own installation(s) for personalization, reading progress, ... FYI: know of one church youth group using YouVersion mobile app that tracks usage with points. Like idea of Christian Home mobile education certificates.

          The Richmond Times-Dispatch (6 vols.) is also available for free: https://www.logos.com/product/9946/richmond-times-dispatch.
          Richmond Times-Dispatch (6 vols.)
          The Richmond Times-Dispatch has been the primary daily newspaper of Richmond, Virginia for over the past 150 years. At the time of establishment in 1850, it was one of the very few non-partisan newspapers around and featured relatively unbiased articles. During the Civil War, Richmond became the capital of the Confederate states and the Daily Dispatch decided to promote the Confederate cause. The Daily Dispatch continued to produce a daily (except Sunday) publication throughout the war, but with inflation, a lack of supplies, and a need for some sort of revenue, its format was altered—including more advertisements than actual news.
