The whole Bible on your device, in a reader that gets out of the way — and a study library underneath it for the days you want to go deeper. The King James text lives on your device, so Truth opens instantly and reads with no signal at all. READ YOUR WAY Choose how Scripture reaches you: Classic, a chapter to a page; Continuous, the whole Bible as one unbroken scroll from Genesis to Revelation; or Verse Scroll, one verse at a time. On iPad, Book Mode sets it as a real book with pages you turn. Verses or paragraphs, your size and typeface, and the words of Jesus in red. Highlight, write notes and leave bookmarks, all gathered in one place, and Truth keeps your place to the verse. 27 TRANSLATIONS The King James is built in, and 26 more download once and then work offline: the Berean Standard Bible, the Literal Standard Version, Young's Literal, the Geneva Bible, the ASV, the World English Bible, the Douay–Rheims, six German Bibles including Luther 1912 and Schlachter 1951, and the Hebrew and Greek texts, from the Westminster Leningrad Codex to the Textus Receptus and the Septuagint. Compare any verse across the ones you have. HEAR IT READ Human-narrated Audio Bibles, in plain narration or full-cast drama. On the King James and ESV readings, the verse being spoken lights up as it goes. Keeps playing with the screen off and picks up where you stopped. Recordings from Bible Brain, provided by Faith Comes By Hearing. STUDY ANYTHING Tap a verse for the Hebrew and Greek behind it, cross-references, Matthew Henry's commentary, the people and places in it, and old words explained in plain English. Every person and place has a page of its own, and Chapter Study shows where the New Testament quotes the Old, from either side. The library holds Easton's Bible Dictionary, a full concordance, Nave's Topical Bible, the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, a map and a timeline. Commentary is always labelled as commentary, never mixed in with Scripture. STUDY DESK AND PDF BUILDER Lay a study out as cards, group them into sections, connect them with labelled links, and add voice notes. Then turn it into a handout: passages, fill-in-the-blank verses, lines for writing and an answer key, printed on US Letter or A4 or read on a Kindle Scribe, on sixteen paper colours. Keep your copy with your notes and share a clean one. KEEP Your highlights, notes, prayers, plans and progress on every device you read on, with no account and no password. It stays off until you turn it on, and you choose what each device keeps. ON IPAD Book Mode, Split for two translations side by side, a Study Desk with room to spread out, keyboard shortcuts, and Apple Pencil: write in the margin beside any verse, and your ink stays with it. ON APPLE WATCH Read a chapter, hear it narrated, log a prayer, note something you're grateful for, and keep your streak, from your wrist. ALSO • Reading plans laid out as a path, each day ticked off as you read • Memorise verses, trivia, Copywork, and a course in the old German script • Verse of the Day, with a daily reminder • Quiet mode on iPhone: just the Word, with everything else a tap away • Widgets, twenty app icons, and themes including warm parchment • Share a verse as an image, or set it as your wallpaper • Search by word, by reference, or by plain question • 59 How-To guides, and a chat where a real person answers No ads. No account needed. No tracking.
