I also would love that. Just read his bio.
On that note, any biography resources would be most welcome. I'm a fan of the "Heroes of the Faith" series (link is to a list of some that I've read in my Google Books library). I think Christian History & Biography Magazine is available for Logos (back issues).
Purchased L4 over a month ago. Want to study Prophecy. My wish is that God will give this 70 year old wisdom and understanding of Revelation and the other prophetic books. So glad to be a part of the family of Logos. I surely need help.

We are pleased as peaches to have you join us here on the Forums. If you ever need any search helps or resource help feel free to ask away. Have some wonderful study in this work of art that is Logos V4.

Lynden Williams, involved in pastoral ministry for over 15 years. Studied in Jamaica where I received a Masters degree in Pastoral Theology. I live in the Bahamas, and have been using Libronix (Logos 3) since 2004. I recommend Logos 4 however, as it is a better platform.
Not a newbie, but after reading the blog post for today, decided to chip in. Logos, can this be placed under a separate category. It should be placed right on top of "General". I want it to be the first thing that the new user to the forum sees when he logs onto the site.
There are many in the forums who are will and able to answer your questions. Among forum users, there are no dumb questions. Watch the videos, and read the training articles.
Everything ever written or spoken in Religion, formatted for Logos Bible Software.
Jayson Bradley: For starters tell us how long you have been a Logos user? What kinds of resources or packages you own? What kinds of tasks do you use your Logos software for? And what is on your Logos wish list?
I’ve been using Logos Software for a year and half. Before Logos I used another bible program (Quick verse) for years and consider it a very good program. But I am sorry it’s not in the same class with Logos 4 and that’s not a slam on quick verse because, no other Bible software is either. Logos 4 is ahead of its time and the thing with me is there is so much it will do that there is no way to keep up with all of it.
Hello everyone!
Like many here I'm a noob Logos user. I've been using Logos for 2 months now and enjoying the rich resources.
I have the Scholar's edition package. I also noticed that my MacArthur Lifeworks that I purchased years ago on the older Libronix system got picked up! I stopped using Logos because the older Libronix system was too slow. I was (still am) an avid eSword user and used that for many years. However with Logos4 I rarely use eSword if at all.
My main tasks are the daily bible reading plan, studying for Sunday sermons, Sunday school lessons, and answering technical questions from family members.
I don't really have anything on my Logos wish list except maybe this one feature: Allow the importing of existing PDFs into Logos. There's a lot of public domain resources on the Net that I'd like to import into Logos instead of having multiple applications open when doing my bible study. In Desiring God, almost all of John Piper's books are available for free in PDF format. Allowing those PDFs to be imported into Logos would be absolutely a big help. I understand that imports require more than just adding text, it requires scanning all the bible references, keyword metadata, producing hyperlinks within each book to key references to other Logos tools, etc. However I'd like to atleast be able to read and search an imported PDF in Logos. That's my #1 wishlist at this point.
Thanks,
Patrick
Hello,
Ive got Logos on my computer for a couple years now, but became a user since I upgraded to Logos 4. A good friend in Holland supported me by paying for the Leaders version. We left Holland 5 years ago to be missionaries among the First Nations. We live on a reservation near Victoria at Vancouver Island.
I use Logos for my daily devotions, Sermon prep, sometimes I do a puzzle with my kids. I browse the Homepage daily, open sometimes the book of the day and read some parts of it. Logos became a part of my life. I'm very thankful for that! I'm now waiting for the first Bible Study Magazine to come in my mailbox.
For longer than I'ld like to admit, but proud to say since 1.x and a stack of floppy diskettes
All kinds. I started out just getting a few Bible-only resources for searching and convenience, and when I realized (after reading emails and online articles/blogs) that Logos has a direction in supporting the resources continuously, I began to build my library. It is now to a point that it is in my Will to bequeath to my Daughter (With appropriate license transfer fees included). I now have well over 4000 resources and dozens more preordered and community pricing "on the way"; not to mention my daily visits to the site, reading the blogs and tweets to TRY to keep up.
Reading books, Personal Bible Study, Sermon Prep, graduate research and work, original language learning, refreshing, and searching, and much more. I can't believe I started with just wnating a Bible on my computer.
Current wish is that L4 would be completed. I want to be able to directly access my media files, powerpoints, etc.
That the Ipad (and to a lesser extent the iphone/touch) app would be more complete: I am currently dissapointed that it allows some books to be viewed, but that the books content is not readable (especially prevelant in special formatted texts like interlinears, parallel bibles, table, advanced formatting). I guess I would prefer that they arenot available, rather than available but broken. (see point one about media-type files). the logos app is THE reason i have an ipad. :) (also having notes/highlights available for ipad/syncing would be huge)
next wish is that the Logos website was more personal-account-dynamic. kind of like the prepub pages. I have so many resources and collections, I have to sometimes spend a lot of time looking up and searching my library to verify if i have a resource already. and this is especially difficult with collections. When I am browsing the product library on teh logos.com site, I want the site to tell me if I already own it. and FURTHER for me to be able to configure this. I own third party logos resources like concordia library, galaxie, etc that may have crossover works.
Next wish is to have available pre-made collections. especially for the "box set" collections. the current way to do them is great, but way too difficult for neophites (I currently have 2, that I got from walking through a couple blog articles a while back. i know i would use them more if i had them, but i am too far along now, with over 4000 resources, I shouldn't have to take the time to go through and make these) and why are (boxed) collections available, but that "collection" isn't already set in L4, it just boggles me.
along with the aformentioned notes and highlights for ipad, offline searching and a better way to select what resources are available on/off line (radio button, checkbox from the list, or something better than in the book properties).
and finally, since this is a wish list... I wish that it was all FREEEEE. :) hehehehee
Well I have been using Logos 4 since it was released when I upgraded from logos 3 leader's library. I currently have the Scholar's Gold package.
I have been enjoying the contents of the library. I use it daily for bible readings and I occasionally set up some book of interest as a part of the daily reading.
On my wish list is the MacAuther LifeWorks Library and the Nelson 501 Unlock.
I am fascinated everyday I use Logos. It thumps every Bible software I have ever used.
Welcome to all of you!
Keep the comments flowing, and by all means - don't let this be your last post.

Patrick Lacson: Allow the importing of existing PDFs into Logos.
Welcome to the forums.
In Logos 3 days we had Personal Book Builder which allowed use of public domain material in Logos. The material had to be converted but someone on the forums wrote a conversion program that made that simpler. Personal Book Builder in Logos 4 has been pushed back to early 2011 (see: http://www.logos.com/4/missingfeatures). The PBB creator software was an extra cost option so it might not be for everyone. We haven't been told how this will handled when available in Logos 4. Those with a Logos Library should get the ability to read PBB resources without charge if the old model is followed.
You can take a look at some of the resources that were made available in PBB format on the non-Logos site of Thomas Black a Logos Forum MVP here: http://www.stilltruth.com/category/technology/libronix-downloads These will work in Logos 3.0 which is still available for download: http://www.logos.com/support/download/30bupdate Hope this info helps and welcome again.

Hello everyone,
I've been posting here since July I think, and didn't realize this thread existed. Since then, I've gotten tremendous help from many of you, including Rosie Perera, Mark Smith, Dave Hooton, William Bingham, Kevin Becker, and several others. Just want to say Thanks!
I started using Logos this summer in June. Back in 1997/98 I needed a program to help me search for Scripture verses. I heard of Logos from one of my roommates (students at DTS) but I couldn't afford it. Well, many years later, I finally decided to get Logos 4. Even now I still can't really afford it, but you only live once on this planet (thank the Lord, actually). After thinking about getting Logos for several years, I finally have the Scholar Silver package with some additional resources.
I use Logos 4 for personal Bible study and, perhaps one day, will use it for other purposes.
What's on my Logos wish list? For starters, that Logos would implement a wish list for those who have a Logos account, a mechanism similar to Amazon. Resources that I like to have in non-ranking order:
I am enjoying Logos software. I realize I will never use all the advanced features that are built-in, but thanks to you all on this forum, and the information posted in the Wiki, I am slowly learning what I can do with Logos. That's it for now...

I received the Logos Bible Study package as a gift a couple of years ago. When version 4 came out, I upgraded to the Scholar's Libarary. I have also added many additonal resources to my library. One of my most recent purchases was the Learn to Use Biblical Greek and Hebrew with Logos Bible Software. I love the new Free Book Preview and that led to me purchasing the Hugh Ross collection!
I use Logos mainly for personal Bible study. It wasn't until I began using Logos that I really started to read and study God's Word. I subscribed to Bible Study magazine with the first issue and I usually sit down with the magazine, with Logos open and find it's a wonderful tool to keep track of everything - from notes to favorite Bible passages to my prayer journal and everything in between. I also use it in conjunction with my women's Bible study group.
My number one "wish" on my Logos wish list is the ability to print right from the program. Although, I understand that it is being developed. I would love the ability to print my Bible study notes instead of copying and pasting them to a Word document.
Thank you for a wonderful resource has grown with me in my relationship with Jesus! It will be something that I will use for the rest of my life.
Howdy - I'm Mary from Texas and have owned Logos Scholars Level for 2 years but never used it. I recently upgraded to version 4 and attended one of Morris Proctor's seminars and now plan on using it a bunch! I'm a seminarian and this program will make my research easier and faster.
In my former profession, I was working as a community manager for a major social media provider so I'm at home in forums. Thank you for your welcome and I hope to be able to glean great info from y'all and also share in my experiences.

Welcome to the Logos forums. Be sure to browse—and contribute to—the thread "We have become friends…".
Printing is coming soon, and I believe you will find that it meets you needs very well.

Definitly you are right sir,while I was reading the thread, seeing these presiouce brothers and sister,I was also thinking about it ,here is the linkhttp://community.logos.com/forums/t/20083.aspx .

Been in the commerical construction industry all my life and am not 'retired'. This is one of the best tools I have seen.
Paul: Just don't know how to go about it.
It's real simple in Logos 4. First go to Logos' web site and locate the resource, then add it to your cart and pay for it. Logos 4 will discover you have purchased the resource and download it automatically. (It can be a little more complicated, but you can read about it here: http://wiki.logos.com/Adding_new_resources_to_Logos_4)
Here is the direct link to K&D: http://www.logos.com/products/details/1690
Welcome to the forums and to Logos 4.0!
Paul:) have not checked into add ons but would like K/D someday. Just don't know how to go about it.
Welcome, Paul, to the forums & to Logos software.
You can add K&D OT Commentary to your library as a single purchase or in an upgrade package.
K&D OTC is included in Scholar Silver and above. see here: Scholar's Library: Silver (LE) http://www.logos.com/products/details/5482 You can see the retail price difference between your Scholar level and the next step up is $370.
see here: Keil & Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament http://www.logos.com/products/details/1690After the K&D purchase you would only be $220 shy of the Silver retail price. If you will check out what other titles are included in the Scholar Silver package I think you will agree it is well worth the extra $220 to upgrade. Upgrading base packages is the single best value you can find. But only you can determine if it is truly something you need and will use.
