If you are a student of the Bible and seriously love to dig into the scriptures and get as much out of them as possible, check out Logos Bible software.
They have various levels of their software. This review is of Portfolio, which is an expansive collection of over 4300 books with all the amazing features of Logos Bible software that making finding and connecting the content across resources amazingly quick and easy. This can exponentially increase the amount of content you can consume and understand.
I asked Logos to upgrade my Diamond level to Portfolio in exchange for this review along with posting it on YouTube (see below). So full disclosure on that part – I have given my honest feedback regardless, as I hope you will have come to expect here.

And thousands more…
Once you see this list you might know why I had my eye on this set. This set allows you to do serious Bible study in the absence of a local theological library or seminary. Not only does it have an amazing quantity of quality books but the 1500+ journals also make paper writing, research, and creating content for socials, youtube, and blogging so much easier with access to all of that information. What sweetens the deal even more is the Logos functionality that allows you to get into all that data and pull it apart quickly and easily so that you can put pieces together in a way that you have never found if you were using hard copies.
If you are a preacher, teacher, pastor, or even content creator on Bible topics – this is for you! The amount of time you will save and the resources you will have access to make this worth the price. If you can save hundreds of hours over several year’s time, how much $ is that worth to you as you go do other things with that time…create more content, get more rest, get more family time, etc. This can help the preacher not be doing the sermon on Saturday because you got more efficient in your study/prep time…you can’t get that time back but you can save it in the future!
If you were to buy all of this hardcopy it would be tens and tens of thousands of dollars. Now, in April it is 29% off! And that means it is marked down from $4980 to $3526…a savings of nearly $1500!
There are a few paths to get there since this is a stretch for many people financially. First, you can do a payment plan at checkout. Second, you could get a smaller package at a big discount and then upgrade later and get the resources you buy now discounted out of a future package.
Here is my affiliate link in case you want more specifics and/or to buy it…which I highly recommend!
