Building Your Study Library in Logos

Logos partners with over 500 publishers to offer more than 120,000 Christian titles through its digital marketplace.   Because Logos functions as a living library rather than a single book, growing your library is one of the most powerful ways to expand your knowledge, deepen your understanding, and strengthen your application of God’s Word—whether for personal growth, teaching, or faithful watchfulness.

Logos offers flexible ways to build your library:

  • Subscription libraries include hundreds of books depending on your tier and are automatically part of your subscription (250+ books on the base subscription, 500+ books on Pro, and 600+ books on the Max Subscription)

  • Individual books and curated collections allow you to intentionally expand your library with trusted commentaries, theological works, and ministry tools.

  • Large collections can include thousands of volumes, providing long-term depth and continuity for study and discipleship.

In short, Logos is not a single bookshelf or physical location—it is a comprehensive digital study platform and theological library, designed to grow with you as your calling, understanding, and ministry responsibilities mature.

Rule 2 - Always Use a Sales Rep

Get someone to help you save money.  I almost never buy books or collections on my own anymore.  Ok, that's not entirely true.  I will if it's a one off, something I want right away, or the free books 😉.  If I'm spending any more than that I always use a sales rep.  They know all the sales and have access to discounts I didn't even know about.  What I do is load up my cart with the books/collections I want, apply all the discount codes I want or know about, and then email "my guy" and tell him to purchase my cart for me with the best deals he can get.  Here is the contact info for "my guy" so he can be "your guy" too:

Rule 3 - Buy Collections, Not Individual Books

When you find a book you want, always scroll down to the section titled "This title is included in the following collections".  Most books you will be interested in are also included in "Collections".   Sometimes you will find it's actually cheaper to buy the book you want in a collection and get a bunch of other books for free.  Often you will find that a $50 book is included in a collection that's $150 but includes $1000 worth of other books (no, that's not an exageration!).  So always look at the collections and see if there are other books you might be interested in.  You will grow your library and save a ton of money.

Note: Logos uses "dynamic pricing" so if you already own a book in a collection then the price is reduced, so you never have to worry about paying for a book twice.

 

Rule 4 - Get 48 Free Books a Year!

Logos releases many free books each month and then refreshes the free book mid-month.  There is even an extra free book just for subscribers.  Just collecting the free books can get you a few books for free each month.  Ultimately Logos is giving these books away for free to drive sales of other books.  They do this by including lots of deeply discounted books on the free book pages.  

Logos's Catholic branded software is called Verbum and they also give a free book each month.  Sometimes it's a great book, even for Protestants.  

 

Rule 5 - Never Pay Full Price

Logos has LOTS of Deals! 
Make sure you regularly check out the Deals page & look at everything on sale. 

Logos is constantly putting out free books, discounts, sales, and all kinds of promotions.  Usually, if you add things to your wishlist you will get an email when there is a discount on something in your wishlist.  There are also deal pages, facebook groups, and email subscriptions where other users help you find discounts and deals.  Here are links to some of those rescources to help you save money:
