I've been using Logos Bible Software for years, version 4 is an entirely new experience. From searching the thousands of books in my digital library in a split second to locating and comparing complex grammatical relationships in the original texts, Logos Bible Software is a power-tool for Bible Study.
The newly designed interface makes getting deep into Bible study almost instantaneous. The customizable reports make getting the information YOU want even easier. Unparalleled resources, comprehensive support and a vast array of tools combine to make Logos Bible Software 4 the right upgrade to an already powerful program.

I have been using Logos Bible Software for just over 5 years now and it has become an essential tool for me as I prepare sermons and Bible studies.
Logos 4 is a more essential tool. Having all my computers synced together so whatever I do at work is immediately available at home is a wonderful blessing as it makes picking up where I left off much easier. The ability to set custom reading plans for any book in my library is a great tool to help keep me disciplined in my reading.
The new clipping feature is fantastic! Now I can grab bits of information from books and articles while I'm reading and easily store them for later use and reference rather than having to stop every few minutes to take notes. The interface is much easier on the eyes, which makes spending extended periods of time studying much more pleasant.
Finally, the speed of Logos 4 is amazing. I can run both simple and complex searches on an entire library of books in seconds. I'm happy to give Logos 4 my endorsement.

As a Pastor, Professor and Professional Counselor, I have a wide range of needs for a library. Having used Logos Software since version 1 in the mid 90's I have been able to see my library grow in volume and use. It seems that with each release of Logos Software I find myself more and more giving up printed volumes and moving to digital volumes.
With the release of Logos 4, the ability to search with "Google" speed, create reports, highlight any book in my library, easily creating Passage or Exegetical Guides and creating Bible Word Studies in seconds has become indispensible in my studies. Logos 4's new "clippings" feature has become one of my favorite features.
The ability to create study files around topics is helping me in teaching, preaching and helping those I counsel on a daily basis. The ability to create a reading list with any book in my library is helping me stay on top of reading the enormous number of books available in my Logos library. I also am enjoying the ability to sync my Logos 4 desktop settings and personal files between my laptop and office computer. I can open up Logos on either computer and pick up where I left off in my studies without having to copy files between computers.... Thanks Logos!!!

At a Pastor's conference a few years ago, the speaker told us "Don't work harder - Work smarter." He might as well have said, "Use Logos 4 software." (At the time he was referring to many of the, then, new Internet tools available that could not only reduce the "grunt" work of the pastorate, but also provide cutting-edge resources at the click of a mouse.)
Logos 4 can make you, like me, "Work Smarter" as it quickly organizes Bibles, Commentaries, and other Bible reference works. Even recent popular books by leading authors open right to the verses or topics you are studying.
The factor that makes Logos 4 stand out from other Bible software programs is the wide variety of its resources. No matter what your theological persuasion, level of training, or field of interest, there are probably more publications available within Logos 4 than you will ever need. I have been amazed, even just in this past year, how much new material has been added to Logos.

Logos Bible software has long been my primary tool for bible study, sermon prep, and book writing. Now it just got even faster with a radical new search engine, and an iPhone app that can read my books.
I couldn't have written my new book Raised With Christ without Logos Bible Software, so imagine how excited I was to hear that Logos 4 would be even faster at searching, and could now fit in my pocket with an iPhone app that reads the books I own!

Logos Bible Software has provided me an avenue for digging deeper into God's Word than I could have ever imagined. The ability to search my entire library in seconds rather than hours is totally amazing. I thought, how can you top what Logos had done to revolutionize my Bible studies? Then came Logos 4...
Logos 4 just kicks up Bible study to the next level by giving me the ability to concentrate on studying God's Word and not fighting with the program. From adding the intelligence in creating lists, the flexibility of floating windows, to the increased customizations of reports. Logos 4 continues to provide me with the deep seated desire to study God's Word and prepare messages for the ministry God has blessed me with.

Logos 4 is here and I have fallen in love with this tool. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
1. I love the new customizable guides which I can set up as my default.
2. I love the depth and breadth and height of the Right+Click (context) menus to find ANYTHING.
3. I love the freedom that Logos 4 gives me to easily "float" window panels or arrange them quickly in creative ways.
4. I love being able to quickly add or remove personal shortcuts from my resources or customized Guides.
5. I love having the ability to tap into the original language like never before.
6. I love the new Infographics and other images that are easily exported to PowerPoint.
7. I love the time saving ability to synchronize my Logos files and settings between my desktop and laptop.
8. I love the aesthetics of how the program looks and works . . . brilliant!
9. I love the new Power Lookup that displays any cross-references from the window(s) of my choosing.
10. Just as important, I love Logos for being a rock solid company and creating and supporting a superb Bible study tool.

After Logos 4, I have a hard time going back to my paper-and-ink books. I recommend Logos to everybody who's serious about studying the Bible, from the seminary-trained pastor to the brand-new believer just learning the basics of the Bible. I know of no better investment than Logos.

As a church planter, I have not had access to an office or my paper books for almost 3 years. Logos has allowed me to study in style at coffee shops and libraries throughout my city. Now with the release of Logos 4.0, I can create custom reading plans for any book in my library!

Church Planter, Orting, WA
Humility is a great Christian virtue and as far as software can be, that is how I would describe Logos 4. It does an excellent job managing all the things that do not help my Christian growth so that I can concentrate my efforts on learning those things that do.
Tools are conveniently there when you need them and then step out of the way, into the background, when you do not. It is an outstanding product backed by an outstanding team and has my hearty endorsement.
Philip Spitzer
Pastor, Chaplain Air Force Reserves,
As a bi-vocational Pastor I have always appreciated Logos' ability to access high quality reference materials in an efficient and time saving way. For over 10 years I have benefited from the improvements delivered by successive versions of the Logos software as it progressed from Bible Software to a full blown Digital Library. Logos 3 has played an important role in my ministry and has been my 'research assistant' for many years.
Logos 4 delivers another step change with improved graphics, simplified library management and a range of enhanced study tools. The ability to create customized Bible Study Guides extends Logos' flexibility while the Collections Management tools make the process of organizing a large library a simple one. In developing Version 4 it is clear that Logos examined and enhanced every feature-the result is a powerful and flexible study tool for the 21st Century.
Graham Owen
Pastor, Basingstoke UK
The best became even better. Being a pastor I use Logos for both study and the sermon preparation. To the traditional offer of the professional tools, Logos 4 adds all the visual dimension and easiness of finding those tools. After you try the new searches with Logos 4 you will never come back to your previous way of studying the Bible and other resources. Biblical places, images and people adds all new level to your Bible experience. It is just great.
Since I travel quite often, it is so great to know all my library travels with me. And also I want you to know, Logos is not only for Americans. Being from Europe I am very glad we have many various European Bibles available. Logos 4 is just the best tool for studying the Bible and using all the abundance of other tools and resources with it. I recommend it without any hesitation.

Nothing has transformed my reading and study of the Bible like Logos! The search speed of Logos 4 far surpasses what I have been used to. Logos 4 offers familiar reading helps like notes and highlighting, but now adds a clipping feature where I can store and tag my favorite quotes for future searching.
With the new sync feature, a note, a highlight, a preference, and pretty much anything else is automatically synced between my desktop and my laptop.

Pastor/Elder Tempe, AZ
As an Elder and Bible teacher for many years now, I can only give a glowing report for Logos and specifically Logos 4. I was thrilled to be part of the Beta group and believe Logos has come out with the best version of Logos Bible Software to date. The company is dedicated to getting out the best resources that cover every area of study.
What Logos 4 enables you to do is have a wide variety of viewpoints and teaching tools you can use in whichever ministry you are a part of. Being able to carry well over 3,000 titles with me wherever I take my laptop is a wonderful blessing!
The layout and indexing of books provided by Logos 4 is unbeatable! I've looked at and tried other Bible study programs, but absolutely none compare with Logos. You not only receive a wonderful product by investing in the Logos product, but the staff to support you is without equal. Whether you talk with someone in customer service, sales or tech support, you will find a level of professionalism matched by none. Thank you Logos for Logos 4!
Michael Kahler
Elder, Ohio
I have been a Logos user for over 9 years now, and it has completely transformed my study and teaching as a Pastor. Just when I thought my favorite ministry tool could not get any better, Logos has released version 4.
This new version is not just the next step, it is revolutionary. One thing you will love in version 4 is that all of your work is kept synced up among multiple computers. This is important to me, as I do work on a laptop and in my church office. I can be working on something in the office, and then be in a coffee shop and pick up right where I left off.
Another strength of the new version is the ease of use. A person completely new to electronic Bible study can open the program and begin to study the Bible within seconds. Simplicity does not mean a lack of power, however. The more you use Logos 4, the more you will discover. It is truly the most powerful Bible study tool available in the the world. You will never regret investing in Logos 4, and you will never want to return to paper books again.

Logos 4 is a giant leap forward for Bible study software in many ways. First, searches are incredibly fast, whether you are searching for a book in your library or trying to find all the uses of a specific word in a specific grammatical form in the entire Bible. Second, Logos 4 has some very powerful features that make it much easier to perform searches. The developers have included suggested terms, passages and words in English as well as the original languages (even if you don't know them) along with templates that make complex grammatical searches possible.
For those using original languages the design improvements in morphological and syntactical searches make them much easier to learn how to use and more powerful for doing detailed searching.
Third, improvements in resources and tools make things more accessible and useful. For example, interlinears and reverse-interlinears are integrated right into several English Bibles, extensive visual, graphic and mapping tools are included so you can highlighting what you read and see images of what is being referred to, and right-clicking opens a vast array of additional ways to research your topic. Finally, keeping everything up to date has never been easier with the new automatic update system.
