(NAPSA)—When it comes to finding illumination and inspiration, many people find there is no better source than the Bible. As it says in Psalm 119:105, “Thy word is a lamp unto myfeet, and a light unto my path.” “The value of the Bible, in whatever medium, was expressed by someone in a faraway land to his missionary friend: ‘Make the book talk to us so that we can hear God’s voice. Make it speak to us as it speaks to you,” said Eric Sigward, who has M.Div. and Th.M. degrees from Westminster Theological Seminary. “In the great hurly-burly of discordant voices, the Bible is a plow. It drags up cultures and civilizations from the bottom, bringing air and light to the dark and confusing experiences of the human soul.” For over 16 years, Logos Re- search Systems of Bellingham, Wash., has provided Bibles and Bible resources. Its founding programmers from Microsoft Corporation decided that they would start a com- pany of their own that would pub- lish Bible-study resources with the look andfeel of the word processing program MS Word. Now they produce more than 9,000 titles. The entry-level collection, “The Christian Home Library,” which contains 68 titles, can be purchased at AcornBible.com. The collection is easy to use. For example, if you type “Goliath” on your computer screen and press “enter,” you will open every relevant resource—English, Greek and Hebrew Bibles, word studies, dictionaries, histories, maps, nametrees and commentaries. The resource can help a student proceed further in Bible study than you imagined possible. The Bible is not only the best-selling book of all time,it is the best-selling bookof the year, every year. In 2005, for example, Americans purchased 25 million Bibles, twice as many as the most recent “Harry Potter” book. The basic collection is devoted to family issues—Christian mar- riage, faith parenting and home schooling. Sigward’s theology degrees qualify him to explain the collections and help customers make the right decisions based on their interest and needs. Logos has partnered with over 100 publishers who have chosen them to make their content available. Products are available in both English and Spanish and range in price from $41.95 to $472.95.
