I started using Logos in Bible College in 2005. I couldn't have accomplished my 3.97 GPA without it, that and the Holy Spirit guiding with with God's wisdom and understanding.
I started with Logos 3 and I'm now using Logos 10. I've loved the free book of the month club.
At this point and time, I have almost 2800 books in my Bible study arsenal with this Bible study app "LOGOS" I was able to do well in college with a TBI after an industrial accident.
I've been able to share the Gospel "to the ends of the earth" as God has commanded us to do. I share my faith, lift up family and I'm able to answer questions that the doubter may have. For its upon us to remove all doubt from our brethren's minds. Knowing and understanding God's word.
It's also been a blessing to have access to God's word in the original languages. I speak and write in English, studied Spanish, so that I could great and share my faith in Spanish, or at least great Spanish speaking Christians.
My desire to better understand the Bible led me to seek out teacher to learn Hebrew, I have also sought out and found the Bible, in Greek, for the Bible before she lost her sight).
My desire to better understand the Bible from it's original languages: Hebrew, Greek and Aromaic, has blessed me more than I could have imagined.
From this desire to learn Hebrew, I met a kind and wise Jewish woman (a retired teacher). I learned the Hebrew alphabet first, then the pronunciation of each character. Then I learned the sounds for each to form words, like Shalom.
I found great helpful websites to learn to write, to speak, and sing in Hebrew. I was invited to Shabbat on Friday nights at a local synagogue. Spending time with my fellow Jews in my town was such a blessing. With Logos I have be able to study the original language Hebrew and get more out of it than I ever imagined. Going back to the beginning of Hebrew (the pictograph language) I learned about its 3-fold meaning. In the beginning (Hebrew Pictograph Alphabet) I could see the meaning behind the Picture (where a character would look like a tent-meaning home) then adding the additional characters to form the word then adding each character's number (which has a meaning also). We lose so much translating to English. Knowing this has inspired me to use Logos to continue to better understand the Bible, God's word.
Wisdom comes by reading and hearing the word of God. This inspires my prayer and understanding that I have a Helper, the Holy Spirit.
Another blessing that Logos provides is the meaning of the names in the Bible. For instance, when I am reading the book of Numbers; I use the "The EXHAUSTIVE
DICTIONARY of BIBLE NAMES" as I read through Numbers, by doing so it tells a story that you wouldn't know was there, unless you were to read and write in Hebrew. This is such a cool and enriching and spiritually blessing that is invisible until you interpret the Biblical names. Like my Middle name "David" which means "my Beloved". After my father.
There is so much to learn with Logos, but one of the most important things that Logos provides is Bible study in a fast and meaning way. Turning pages while looking for specific topics, words, times, places, names to help Gentiles and Jews come to faith in Jesus. Always be ready to defend your faith. With Logos I can. It helps me to be a light to those around me.
Thank you and God bless you.
