5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Value with Even Better Resources
MacArthur's LifeWorks Library integrates seemlessly into the Libronix Digital Library System. Containing the full-text of almost all of Dr. MacArthur's books, it is an amazing value, especially at such a low price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Material - Software Stinks
The MacArthur material is super great. The Libronix Digital Software System is a nightmare. It will never update properly. Once you move up to Internet Explorer 7, it will not work at all. Buy it but do not invest much money in Libronix Software.

You are better off to get your MacArthur material in Bible Navigator or WordSearch if you can. Unfortunately,...

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Value with Even Better Resources, December 15, 2005
By 
MacArthur's LifeWorks Library integrates seemlessly into the Libronix Digital Library System. Containing the full-text of almost all of Dr. MacArthur's books, it is an amazing value, especially at such a low price. I have actually found the digital version to be more useful than the print version. MacArthur uses many Bible references in parentheses to validate his points when he writes (as he should), and it is really not feasible to look up each and every one of the thousands as you read; however, within Libronix, just hovering your cursor over the text brings up a preview of the referenced Bible passage so you don't have to interupt your reading. You can also search all of his works for a reference to a particular verse you may be studying to see what he (or other authors you may have in your Libronix library) have said. It contains the full text of the following books:

Alone with God
Anxiety Attacked
Ashamed of the Gospel
Can God Bless America?
Different By Design
Found: God's Will
God in the Manger
How to Meet the Enemy
In the Footsteps of Faith
Our Sufficiency in Christ
Reckless Faith
The Battle for the Beginning
The Freedom and Power of Forgiveness
The Glory of Heaven
The God Who Loves
The Gospel According to Jesus
The Gospel According to the Apostles
The Murder of Jesus
The Vanishing Conscience
Truth for Today Devotional
Twelve Ordinary Men
Unleashing God's Word in Your Life
Why One Way?


And the following Audiobooks:

Can God Bless America?
Our Sufficiency in Christ
Ten Audio Messages from Grace To You
The Battle for the Beginning
The Love of God
The Murder of Jesus
The Vanishing Conscience
Twelve Ordinary Men

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Values You Can Find on Christian Software, July 23, 2006
I can't BELIEVE that this set is sold for $37 bucks! My goodness, look at what you get! The Macarthur Study Bible and the MacArthur Topical Bible are worth the price of this CD-ROM already! But on top of that, you get a ton of his books (The Gospel According to Jesus being one of them), and his Commentaries on Romans, 1 Corinthians, Galatians, and one or two others. You also get some wonder Nelson dictionaries and reference resources, and other things I probably failed to mention.

Moreover, this software uses the slick and sensational Libronix Digital Software System. Buy this CD-ROM NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value and solid content!, July 17, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have been using the McArthur lifeworks library for a long time and LOVE it. This software is priced great and easily integrates with (the Cadillac of Bible software) Libronix. The software itself has worked flawlessly, not to mention, I have re-formatted my PC about three separate times and have never had a single problem re-loading the lifeworks series.

I picked up a copy for $35. What other software can you get for $35 that gives you a boatload of books, study guides, MP3 sermons and 8 audio books! If you were thinking about getting this software, I would highly recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Material - Software Stinks, December 7, 2006

The MacArthur material is super great. The Libronix Digital Software System is a nightmare. It will never update properly. Once you move up to Internet Explorer 7, it will not work at all. Buy it but do not invest much money in Libronix Software.

You are better off to get your MacArthur material in Bible Navigator or WordSearch if you can. Unfortunately, the Life Works collection only comes in Libronix.

Libronix Digital Software System is HORRIBLE SOFTWARE. It can be hard to load - its updates will lock the program up - tech support will tell you that it is your machine - etc. I know three folks who have experienced problems with the software.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, February 6, 2007
I am greatful for such a wonderful tool. This is the best software I have ever purchased. Macarthur is among the greatest teacher in history. I studied at Knox Theological Seminary and have been able to stay awake to the Dispensational theological views becasue of his scholarly works.
