How To Shrink Your Pastor’s Library – With Bible Software!

Seriously! Did you know that it is possible to both shrink and increase your pastor’s library – and all with just bible software!

It is amazing to me how many books you can fit on one CD. Well, my pastor, like most, has an extensive library of concordances and Bible dictionaries, as well as almost every commentary ever printed!

It follows, therefore, that by utilizing software applications, my pastor could transfer almost his entire library onto the hard drive of his computer. This could be a tremendous asset for pastors who are just starting out – a whole library on just one computer!

Don’t forget to check with your local seminary library

If you happen to be fortunate enough to have a Christian or Jewish seminary school located in your community, you may have a way of acquiring useful bible study tools at a fraction of their usual cost.  Very simply, these schools are often you need of selling extra copies of materials on their shelves — perhaps they are older copies that are worn out and are being replaced by a newer edition, or perhaps they have duplicates that they don't need to keep around.  Many of these seminaries will have scheduled fundraising events throughout the year where they bring these books off of the shelf and out of storage — and you can buy them, often times for just a few dollars each.
