Bringing Knowledge

Logos Hope carries a stock of half a million books, a selection of 6,000 different titles covering a wide range of subjects, such as science, sports, hobbies, cookery, the arts, economics and medicine, as well as books on faith in God and living life in God’s service.

The books have been carefully chosen to cater to interests of all ages, and keeping in mind the educational, social and moral needs of the local community. A large selection is devoted especially to children. Local language materials supplement the vast array of English books. Books on board are offered at a fraction of their retail value. In some ports significant quantities are also donated. Literature explaining the need for a right relationship with God is made available for visitors in countries where this is appropriate.

Teaching seminars and conferences held in each port are another way in which crew bring knowledge. Ranging from programmes for schoolchildren to health seminars for medical workers, the new facilities on board Logos Hope will be put to use daily.
