With the recent release of several Kevin J. Conner books inside Logos Bible Software, a number of readers have asked a very reasonable question:
What exactly is Logos — and do I need it to read these books?
This short guide is designed to answer that simply and clearly.
What Is Logos?
Logos Bible Software is a digital Bible study platform used by pastors, teachers, students, and thoughtful readers around the world.
Unlike a standard eBook reader or PDF app, Logos is designed for study rather than just reading. It allows users to search books and Scripture together, follow biblical themes across multiple resources, and connect passages with related material in seconds.
That said, Logos can also be used very simply — you don’t need to be a scholar to benefit from it.
Is Logos Free?
Yes — the Logos app itself is free.
Logos offers:
- Desktop apps for Mac and Windows
- Mobile apps for iOS and Android
- A web-based version that runs in your browser
Anyone can download the app and use it at no cost. The free version includes a small starter library and basic study tools.
Importantly, you can purchase and use individual books in Logos without paying for a subscription or library bundle.
How Do You Access Logos?
Logos can be accessed in several ways, depending on how you prefer to read and study. In addition to its desktop software for Mac and Windows, Logos offers mobile apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices, as well as a fully functional web version that runs directly in your browser.
This means you can:
- Read and search books on your computer at home
- Access the same library on your phone or tablet while travelling
- Use Logos online without installing anything
Your library, notes, highlights, and reading progress sync automatically across all devices, making it easy to move between study contexts.
Do I Need a Subscription?
No.
Logos does offer optional subscriptions that unlock advanced features such as sermon-building tools, guided workflows, and enhanced searches. These are mainly used by pastors and advanced users.
However:
- Subscriptions are not required to read or search books
- Books you purchase remain yours even if you never subscribe
Many users simply buy the books they want and use Logos as a high-quality reading and reference environment.
Can I Buy Just One Book?
Yes. This is how most readers use Logos.
You can purchase individual books — including Kevin Conner’s titles — one at a time. Once purchased, they:
- Are fully searchable
- Link directly to Scripture references
- Sync across all your devices
There is no requirement to buy a large library or ongoing plan.
How Is Logos Different from Kindle or PDFs?
Kindle and PDFs are excellent for linear reading. Logos is designed for study and reference.
Here’s a simple comparison:
- Kindle / PDF: read page by page
- Logos: search by theme, topic, or Scripture
- Logos links books directly to Bible verses
- Logos integrates multiple resources into one study environment
This makes Logos especially valuable for books that are structured, biblical, and thematic.
Why Logos Suits Kevin Conner’s Books
Kevin Conner’s writing is deeply rooted in Scripture and often used as a reference for teaching and study.
Inside Logos, his books can now be:
- Searched by topic or verse
- Cross-referenced with other study tools
- Used in sermon or lesson preparation
- Accessed alongside original-language resources
For readers who regularly return to these books, Logos offers a more powerful and flexible way to engage with the material.
