I just received my latest order from FACE: the Christian History Library in Libronix. It is the best investment I've made in a long time.

There are 11 volumes included (see the list here). They are all searchable and interactive, so I can search a topic and the program will search all volumes for every reference. It saves so much time.

I can also tag passages with my own notes and save them. This is very handy as I study.

The footnotes are hot linked as well, so when it refers to other volumes you can click and read the full context of the footnotes. It's so nice not to have to get out 4 books to read 4 pages!

It copied all the volumes to my hard drive, so I do not need the CD-ROM every time I need to use the program. I can just click the icon and get cracking. It saves time on 4-R ing subjects and word studies as well, because it contains a KJV Bible and Webster's 1828 Dictionary.

If I discover any more cool things the program will do I'll post again (and I probably will!). The hard copies are also terrific to have because sometimes you need to hold a book or you just don't want to be at your computer. But for study and lesson preparation this is a wise investment.
