I'm currently in a place where I'm having to evaluate my use of Bible software and which one is going to best suit my needs at the present time and in the future. In doing so, I have embarked upon a 30 day challenge to use Logos Bible software as my primary application. In doing so, I will chronicle my use of the software and share my thoughts at the end of the challenge. Here is a snippet of my opening post outlining the reasoning behind the challenge.

What's the reason for this challenge? The reason that I came up with this challenge is because my needs and wants for Bible software are changing, and doing so rather rapidly. When I first started studying the Bible and using Bible software, I was someone who only occasionally made use of commentaries and dictionaries, but never even dared to try to use the original language tools that I had available. I would, of course, dabble into the Strong's Concordance from time to time, but that was about it. Since that time, I have come to appreciate such resources and have made considerable use of them in WORDsearch's software to the best of mine and its abilities. Now that I am actually learning to read the original languages (Greek and Hebrew), my desire to do more with this knowledge has grown tremendously. What sense does it make to learn Greek and Hebrew and then not make use of it in my study? Therefore, I am now wanting to make the best use of this knowledge so that I: 1) don't lose it, 2) continue to learn more about it, 3) better understand the text of the Bible, and 4) better communicate the truths of God to His people. With these changing needs, I figured that it would be best to evaluate which software applications would be best for making this happen...
