Shalom!
I don't see this in my copy of Alone With God.
You can however deselect the "Popular Highlights" Visual Filter in the Visual Filters Options. See also the following thread: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/97714/673747.aspx#673747
Edit:
It seems to be present earlier in the book - try page 7 for an example.
Thanks Graham. I should have checked the beginning of the book (especially after reading the following news article: Ebooks can tell which novels you didn't finish ).
Thank you for the help! I deselected "Popular highlights" and voila! How it got selected in the first place I have not a clue. I still do not know how you select what is being underlined. Again, thank you for the assistance.
Just went to the article on Ebooks and it prompts a question. Does Logos, Faithlife or any other entity outside of my own computer know what books I have read or not read? Are any of my key strokes being monitored by anybody? Ia any information being collected as I use Logos 6 and /or my library?
Paranoid? Maybe.

This old thread explains how the "Popular Highlights" feature works: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/61098/433507.aspx
If you want to disable popular highlights for all resources, you can right-click on the Popular Highlights Visual Filter and select “Do not show in any resources.”
The setting is per resource, and the default is "on". Turning it off in this resource won't turn it off in other resources.
Also, not all resources have the setting available (presumably because they don't have many highlights). For example, I am reading two Vyrso books at the moment: Tim Keller's Centre Church which has Popular Highlights available (and I've found them very helpful in aiding me to read the book) and Kevin deYoung's Crazy Busy which doesn't. I assume it's down to the amount of highlighting that has been done in the resources. I've also noticed that books tend to have a lot more popular highlights near the beginning than the end, which maybe says something about how many get read all the way through!

I don't think there is any reason to become paranoid, at least not when Logos/Faithlife is concerned.
Edit: Read this post:
If you set "Use Internet" to "no" in the Program Settings, you will not transmit any information to us.
Does Logos, Faithlife or any other entity outside of my own computer know what books I have read or not read?
Logos does keep track of what places in a book you've looked at (which you can see if you turn on "Search Bookmarks" in Program Settings), and what page you were on when you last opened the book (so that it can return you to that page when you open it again). This info is synced to the cloud, only for your own use when you open Logos on other devices.

There is a setting "Send Feedback" in Program Settings which you can turn on or off. If on, this will collect info about how you use Logos, what features you use, and so one. This is used by Faithlife in improving the software. But you are free to not participate in this if you don't want to. I used to keep it off all the time, because I didn't want it slowing down my use of the program. But then I realized that when Faithlife takes into account how their users are actually using the software as they decide what to focus on for performance improvements and the like, I want my voice to count. So I've now turned it on.
Thanks Rosie! [:)]
