Logos in the Local Press
Logos Bible Software is the cover feature for the September 2005 issue of Northwest Business Monthly, a regional business magazine.
The story focuses on the history and growth of the company and includes some nice photos around our offices and the new space being remodeled for us next door.
Whether you're new to Logos Bible Software—or a long-time user—you will probably learn something new about the company from the story.
One of my favorite selections,
There is a lot of great technology and ideas, but you build around the customer not the technology, [Bob Pritchett] said. I think thats what happened with the whole dot-com phase their failing point wasnt their product, it was not having a customer. With the goal of becoming an essential source for people doing serious Bible study, Pritchett said that Logos market is fairly stable.
The shifting tides of world religions doesnt really affect us, he said. The Bible is the best-selling book of all time.
By focusing on the pastors, were focusing on a long-term investment—not the guy who decides if hes going to church or not every week, he added. We want to build tools that improve the quality of their teaching. Nobody has time to sift through 250 books in preparation for a sermon each week.
If you're looking for more information about Logos, you'll find it in the About area of Logos.com, which includes a Logos chronology, mission statement, and current job postings.

There is also another story behind this story. The story of hundreds of Christians that God gave a vision of a computerized bible study program that would incorporate all the wonderful study aids into an easy to access package. We prayed and believed that God would bring it to pass and He found a willing servant to bring the vision into reality in Bob Pritchett. The Logos Bible Software System is an answer to prayer. Thank you Bob for being such a willing servant and thank you Lord for this magnificient resource for studing another great resource you blessed us with, The Bible.
