The Preacher's Library

The library has passed the 1400 mark. It was likely done before the change of the year.

We will be working on a new design in order to incorporate the new features of the site. Our hope is to draw the other ideal modules (previously mentioned as new sites) into this one site since there is reason and room. Therefore, I was hoping to purchase a new domain name and thereby, a new name for the application. Please send your ideas to me or post in comments below. The goal is to use something that implies "a place of study" or "the Bible student's desk."

With the drop of the economy, I have been purchasing less books than ever. I'm averaging only two per month right now (down from my 5+ per month). But, it appears that it is not affecting others. The Preacher's Library appears to be climbing about 100 books per month. In May we crossed 1300 books in the library. Keep them coming. I plan to revisit the site in a month or two in order enhance the interface and add some more social features (Lord willing).

I was adding a new book, Foundations of Grace by Steven Lawson, and noticed that The Preacher's Library is now 1200 books strong. I'm excited. I hope to revisit the application soon to improve and add some features and this really gets me motivated. Thanks for all of your cataloging. Keep it up.

As of this morning, we have tipped over the 900 mark. And now at mid-day we are on the tail of 950. I suspect that we will pass the 1,000 book mark before the end of this year. What does that mean? Well, considering that we really did not promoting or efforts in advertising and geared the site for only those invited ... and did not consider the site to get much traffic since it was a testing ground, I think that is pretty good.

We are often compared to LibraryThing.com and rightly so. I know that our number of books don't come close to theirs. But with respect to our goal - I think it is pretty good. The site has only been alive for less than a year.

Thanks for getting involved with it. We are receiving a lot of email questions and will spend sometime online answering them soon. Take care.

The Preacher's Library is now up to 810 books and counting! Thanks to all of you are reading and taking notes on your books.

No, in this case it is not "Page not found." Rather, we have just reached 403 books in The Preacher's Library. Well, what does this mean? It means that the library is growing. I am glad that it is and I hope that is helpful to those using it.
