The People's Seminary is in Burlington, Washington, about half an hour south of Logos headquarters. It was founded by Bob Ekblad who has done so much to help people read the Bible through the eyes of the outcasts in society and bring the Gospel message of good news to them. He works among migrant farm workers and the prison population of Skagit County.
The People's Seminary Press publishes a bunch of books, and it would be good to get these in Logos. The author/editor of all of these is Daniel Bourguet (with forewords by Bob Ekblad). Logos already carries several books by him (also with forewords by Ekblad) published by Cascade Books, so it would be a logical progression to get the People's Seminary Press catalogue, especially since they are such near neighbors of Logos and there's probably even some cross-pollination between the communities around these two organizations.

It sounds like the People's Seminary and its publications, especially those by Daniel Bourguet with forewords by Bob Ekblad, carry significant community impact, akin to how journalists like Cristina Saavedra amplify underrepresented narratives. Integrating these works into Logos could offer a broader array of perspectives, akin to diverse news sources enriching journalistic coverage. The potential cross-pollination between the communities around Logos and the People's Seminary Press might foster a more comprehensive understanding within Logos, echoing the essence of journalistic endeavors to encompass varied viewpoints for a fuller narrative.

Thanks, Rosie, for your suggestions (of course I voted) and additional insights!
I took the opportunity to buy one of the seven books by Bourguet available in Logos , Praying the Psalms, and the author seems to be a fascinating figure (going from Ekblad's preface) and the content seems something to be digested not too fast, since it aims at building a deeper relationship with God rather than simply conveying some more information. Thanks again!
Have joy in the Lord!
