22 books on a single CD-ROM provides pastors with easy access to reference volumes, apologetics, counseling helps, online resources, sermon illustrations, and more.

“An impressive collection of Bibles, commentaries, encyclopedias, and apologetics books....While many other companies have issued electronic reference collections, Baker succeeds in offering titles that are unavailable in the others.”

Computing Today (May/June 1999)

"The Baker Digital Reference Library (level three) is an excellent electronic library for pastors and Bible students. The books which have been selected for this library represent many different fields of study and are aimed at equipping the pastor for his or her ministry. Some of the books are very academic and will enrich any pastor's theology, while others are more practical in nature."

"When I browsed among the books on this CD-ROM, I soon realized that the publishers indeed endeavoured to compile a library for pastors who want to enhance their effectiveness. Pastors who are often counseling people will find the Quick Scripture Reference for Counseling most useful. This book is designed to meet the specific needs of those who wish to use the Scriptures in counseling. Scripture passages are listed under more than fifty different topics. They are arranged so that you can see at a glance the gist and significance of each text as it relates to the topic under which it is listed. If, for example, you seek to lead a person to the forgiveness of sins, you can prepare your agenda in a few seconds."

"Effective preachers know the value of appropriate illustrations when they want to communicate a truth. With the Baker Digital Reference Library the preacher has some of the best anecdotes, quotes, poems and observations ready at hand. And with the Logos program it is so easy to find appropriate illustrations for your sermon. Every preacher knows that if he can find the right hymns to go with his sermon, he will strengthen the service. But with the Hymn and Scripture Selection Guide it is an easy task to find suitable hymns."

"At one or other stage, all pastors have to address questions regarding Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormonism. There are six books included in the Baker Digital Reference Library which will answer all the questions any pastor can ask on these subjects."

"And the Biblical scholar who wants to study the Bible will also benefit from this electronic library. The Evangelical Commentary on the Bible offers comments, outlines and introductions to all the books of the Bible. It even includes extended discussions of key biblical doctrines. And there are even more theological dictionaries and encyclopedias included in this library which will excite any theologian."

"Nobody can accuse the Baker Digital Reference Library of being outdated. There are even books on Internet resources. You can use them as a guide to the Internet and Christian online resources."

"But when one speaks about all the interesting books of the Baker Digital Reference Library, one cannot refrain from commenting on the excellent Logos system which is linked to this electronic library. The full range of search, copy, paste, drag-drop, and other functions provided with the Logos system is also available with this library. Thus it is a pleasure to use this library and to get access to a massive source of information."

"I can strongly recommend the Baker Digital Reference Library. I was especially impressed to see to what extent the compiler(s) of this library tried to address both the scholarly and the practical needs of the pastor. Both scholars and pastors will find this CD a useful tool which will help them to perform their task with more ease. It will also save time and enhance their effectiveness. A pastor with all these books in his study is indeed well-equipped."

"The Baker Digital Reference Library has been released by Baker Book House, featuring numerous references that fall within the Logos Library System format."

"The software features up to 22 books on a single CD-ROM. Particular titles include references on how to respond to and win loved ones away from cults, biographies and autobiographies of key Christian figures, a counseling resource that connects various subjects with Scripture references, a preaching illustrations collection and biblical/theological reference volumes."

"The higher levels are intended for those who desire to "go deeper" into issues such as apologetics and cults, said publicist Dan Baker, as well as have access to two electronic versions of Baker books concerning the Internet."
