I remember one day, as my spiritual director and I were chatting about the Logos Bible Software, he shared with me concerns about the software. The resources were not inline with our Catholic faith. Now that the Verbum editions are out, we are once again taking a look .
This blog post comes after my earlier post (Logos Bible Software), where an email from a friend sparked a new flame for me, and I decided to search out reviews online from some of my digital oasis, I frequent for feeding my Catholic faith.
While I am sold on many parts of the software already, I searched for others who might be sharing their points of view. Mostly I found references of positive arguments on Logos.

Pathos.com blogger, Thomas McDonald has three short post where he shares insight on the Logos Bible Software. You will notice the Android App Article. I have all three Logos Android apps installed on my Google Nexus, which today I used in my Bible study class on Isaiah.
