Logos Field Sales Reps

Today’s guest blogger is Dr. J. B. Hixson, the Houston field sales representative for Logos.

For more than eight years, Logos Bible Software has been a significant part of my life. First as a pastor, and later as a Bible College and Seminary professor, I became dependent upon Logos as an indispensable tool for both my personal study of God’s Word, as well as my ministry responsibilities. So when I learned in January of 2007 that Logos was seeking individuals to help promote this valuable tool within the body of Christ, I jumped at the opportunity.

It is my privilege to serve as part of a team of Field Sales Representatives for Logos Bible Software. In this role, I have the joy of introducing churches, pastors, students, ministry leaders and lay people alike to the most amazing Bible study tool on the planet. It thrills my heart to watch audiences respond as I show them how to use Logos Bible Software to dig deeper into God’s Word than they ever imagined. Without fail, those in attendance are in awe of the simplicity and power of Logos. In most cases, they have never seen anything like it before and they cannot wait to take it home and begin using it in their personal Bible study.

As a Field Sales Representative, it is fulfilling to know that I am introducing folks to a tool that will help facilitate their personal spiritual growth and deepen their understanding of the God we all serve. Having been in the field for a year now, I could share countless experiences with you that no doubt would warm your heart as they did mine. But allow me to share just a few short anecdotes that stand out in my memory.

On one occasion I was leading a Bible Conference at a church in a suburb of Atlanta, GA. I devoted an entire evening to presenting Logos as the best tool for Bible study. Among the many folks who purchased Logos that night was a gentleman who looked to be about seventy years old. He told me he was so impressed with how easy it is to use Logos that even though he did not own a computer and had never used one, he was going to purchase a brand new computer the next day just so he could install Logos and study God’s Word!

I spoke at a men’s retreat last summer at a large church in the Houston area, where I used a portion of my time to introduce the men to Logos. I received a call from one of the staff members from the church about a week later who ordered six additional copies of the Logos Scholar’s package to give to six of the missionaries overseas that this church supports. Having seen firsthand the power of Logos software as a study tool, this church caught the vision and wanted to be sure their missionaries had the best tool available.

At a Bible Conference in Kansas, I noticed that the pastor’s study was overflowing with books. An avid reader, his shelves were filled with commentaries, encyclopedias, dictionaries, theologies, and other Bible study resources. The conference lasted Sunday through Wednesday. On Tuesday night, I conducted a Logos demo. The pastor was so amazed, he couldn’t wait to get his hands on the Scholar’s collection (over 330 books!). As it turns out, however, he did not have to buy it himself. The leader of the men’s group approached me after the service and said that the men’s fellowship would like to purchase the Scholar’s package for their pastor! The pastor was overjoyed when he contemplated how many hours a week this tool would save him in personal study and sermon prep time.

Some of you reading this blog may be pastors who already own Logos. You recognize the benefit of this incredible software. Why keep this tool to yourself? Why not introduce your congregation to it by hosting a Logos Workshop? Not only will your church members be excited, but your church body will benefit from having more members engaged in serious personal Bible study and thus growing mature in their faith!

The Field Sales Representatives of Logos exist to introduce the Body of Christ to this great tool and to promote and facilitate deeper study of God’s Word. It would be our privilege to come to your church, ministry, school or community event to conduct a Logos Bible Study Workshop. There is no cost for these events and in fact, those in attendance will receive a significant discount on their purchase of a Logos base package. Our representatives are located in Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Seattle. If you live near any of our locations, give us a call today, and make arrangements with Pete Heiniger (360) 685-4443 or pete.heiniger@logos.com.
