Sermon Builder: Show Word Count and Time Estimate for Selected Text

Robert Kelbe · 2025-05-03T16:56:31+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I do my whole order of service in a single sermon so that I don't have to switch between sermon documents. Because of that, the word count and time estimate at the bottom of the sermon document includes psalm introductions, Bible readings, and other things. It would be nice if there was a word count and time estimate for the selected text as well as for the whole sermon document. That way I could temporarily select the sermon portion and get a more accurate estimate for the sermon itself.

For example, instead of "6,626 words (55 minutes)", display "6,626 words, 55 minutes" when no text is selected, and "6,626 words, 55 minutes (4638 words, 38.5 words selected)" when text is selected.

Create Distraction-free Reading mode option on Mobile
Currently, there is no way to completely clear the screen from UI elements and create a distraction-free reading mode. I personally find this book title bar at the top of the screen annoying, and it causes me to want to do my reading on other tools like Kindle or other distraction-free readers. With a tap, I can go from…
Reading View: Reading Progress in Books
I'd like to keep track of how much of a book I've read, similar to the way Kindle does. Kindle can show a percentage of the book I've read, Page X of Y, X minutes left in chapter, or X hours and Y minutes left in Book. This wouldn't be useful for books that are primarily used for reference, but it would be nice for books…
Ability to link to other documents from Sermon Builder
I often find myself needing to link to items with Logos in my sermon, but don't necessarily want to paste content from that document. For instance, I will create a Canvas doc that inserts at a particular place in my document. I'd like to insert a link to that resource that I can click on. Thank you for this consideration.
Sermon Editor Request
I would find it very helpful if the sermon builder had a style dropdown entitled "application" in the similar manner that it has for "illustration" and "prompt". It just helps me visually flag content in my sermon manuscript in that category.
iPad sync highlights
To me it is a major downside of using Logos on iPad that my highlights are not synced across my different bibles. If I do a highlight in ESV, I can't get it to show up in my Greek bible, etc. iPads these days are more than powerful enough to handle a feature like this. Please enable it for iPads! It's one of the biggest…
