Ever set out to read the whole Bible and lose track of where you are? Or finish a plan and wonder which chapters you have actually read over the years? That's where 1189 comes in. It is a personal map of all 1,189 chapters of the Bible that fills in as you read, across any plan, any pace, any Bible, for as long as you keep reading.
