Read everywhere and daily with Bible Authorized Version, the King James Bible app built for reading, searching, saving, and studying Scripture entirely offline, by grace from the KJB Pure Cambridge Edition 1900. Anyone interested in supporting app development may "Tip" from opening Bookcase, and selecting the ⓘ . The objective of BAV is to hide obtrusive distractions while providing advanced tools to learn the source text at a glance. Search the Bible by word or phrase, see where words appear, and compare how often they occur across the whole Bible or within a specific book. Select text naturally, save searches, save verses, and create Selection Groups for deeper study with Colloquies. The Bible is its own dictionary! 0. King James Bible is the infallible word! KJB is 100% free, and for $19.99, Source Text unlock allows USFM imports, or choose to download from available non-copyrighted versions. 1. Choose how you browse: Standard, Historical, or Alphabetical Bookshelves. 2. Decide your focus: Searches will display similar searches and wording, Saved is a primary quick-access selection group, Selections gives specific control over order and grouping of verses, and Colloquies is where you may write and build your own studies now that you have organized selections and can easily track where you were in the Bible from saved searches. 3. Take your focus to a whole new level by pausing where you're at and coming back to it later. Keep studies completely separate, or use each session for one spot in the Bible. So not only can you have unlimited Bibles, you can group each set so if resuming where you left off isn't enough, then you can resume "where you left off where you left off", because each Collection of Sessions has its own "active" Session. 4. Wrap everything together with Gestures and Settings Profiles. Each Settings Profile can have its own Gestures Profile, or all your Settings Profiles can have one Gesture Profile. Gesture between Sessions, Books, Chapters, and Verses depending on your preferred setup. Bible Authorized Version is designed to stay out of your way. Hide or show the interface with one tap, focus on the text, and use widgets (Verse over Photo widget or Sessions widget), notifications, and selections as a study tool for learning scripture. Features: · Sessions and Session Collections: group sessions and maintain separation of concerns as needed to strengthen your focus. · Bookcase and Bookshelves: browse books by order and expand search results. · Reader: customize font display and size settings for comfortable reading. · Search: space-sensitive word and phrase searching by 'match' and 'broad'. · Save, Star, Select, Study: read everywhere and daily - save searches, star your focused verses, select in groups and place groups into collections, and create your own Colloquies. · Local use: works completely on your own device. · Design: intended primarily for Dark Mode use. Specifications: · No opinionated commentary, red letters, or pilcrows (App Presets can be hidden from the Manage Presets option when selecting a Colloquy preset). · Contains italics. · Pure Cambridge. · Customizable Reader: font family, spacing, and all-chapters or single-chapter view.

Read Your Bible Through
Read full descriptionHide full description
Read your Bible through in a year. Read Your Bible Through gives every day of the year its own reading. Open the app in the morning, and today's reading is waiting: two chapters from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament, or three and two on Sundays. Keep going, and by the end of December you will have read the whole Bible. Everyone reads the same chapters on the same day, in the app and on readyourbiblethrough.com. Your church, your family, and your friends are on the same page, so you can talk about this morning's reading with anyone who is reading along. THREE READING PLANS • Bible Plan: the Old and New Testaments side by side, each from the beginning. The New Testament is finished in August, and the Old Testament takes its place for the rest of the year. • Psalms Plan: all 150 Psalms, three times a year. One a day on weekdays and two on weekends, with Psalm 119 in four parts. • Proverbs Plan: all 31 chapters of Proverbs, every month. One a day, doubling up at the end of a short month. Switch plans just under the date, and the app remembers your choice. Missed a day, or want to read ahead? Tap any day on the calendar to see its reading. THE KING JAMES VERSION, BUILT IN The whole Authorized King James Version is inside the app. Tap a reading, and it opens right there, with verse numbers, in light or dark, at the text size you have set on your device. Go on to the next chapter, or jump to any book. Any reading also opens on BibleGateway. MARK EACH DAY READ When you finish a day's reading, mark it read at the bottom of the chapter. See how far through the year you are, or through the month on the Proverbs Plan. Catching up on last Tuesday counts for last Tuesday. EVERY CHAPTER YOU HAVE READ A grid of all 1,189 chapters in the Bible fills in as you read, whatever plan you are on and whatever year it is. Mark chapters yourself, or turn on Auto-Track, and marking a day as read fills in its chapters for you. A DAILY REMINDER Choose a time and a plan, and get a daily notification with that day's chapters, so you know what to read before you open the app. ON ALL YOUR DEVICES Sign in with Apple or Google, and the days and chapters you mark follow you from one device to the next. Signed in with Google? Sign in to readyourbiblethrough.com with the same account, and the days you mark there show up in the app, too. WORKS WITHOUT A SIGNAL The plans, the Bible, and everything you mark are saved on your device first, so it all works on a plane or in a church basement. If you have signed in, anything you marked while offline syncs when you are back online. SIMPLE AND PRIVATE No ads and no tracking. You don't need an account: without one, everything stays on your device. If you make one, you can delete it from inside the app. Read Your Bible Through is a ministry of Central Baptist Church, and it is free.
