Bible Year 0.1.2

The Bible Year reading plan application offers a structured approach to engaging with the ESV Bible over the span of one year, featuring daily readings from four distinct sections of Scripture:

• Old Testament History & Prophets
• Wisdom Books & Isaiah
• Gospels
• Epistles and Acts

This innovative format addresses the common challenges many readers face when encountering the Old Testament. By pairing these texts with selections from the Psalms, Gospels, and Epistles, the app maintains reader engagement and provides nourishment for the soul. This method encourages a holistic understanding of the Bible while promoting a more enjoyable reading experience compared to a linear Genesis-to-Revelation approach.

For instance, the suggested readings for Day 1 include:

• Genesis 1-2
• Psalms 1
• Matthew 1:1-17
• Acts 1:1-11

The application also incorporates "makeup" days within its monthly structure, allowing for a total of 25 reading days each month. This feature supports readers in maintaining their progress without the stress of falling too far behind.

Notable features of this application include:

• ESV (English Standard Version) Bible text
• Integrated spoken audio for an enhanced experience
• Progress tracking through completion markers
• A display indicating how many days you are ahead or behind schedule, including makeup days
• Configurable starting month for flexibility in beginning your journey

The Bible Year app uniquely allows users to choose any starting month for their reading plan, enabling them to embark on their Biblical journey at any time throughout the year. For those transitioning from a paper format, the app facilitates an easy switch by allowing users to set their current progress using the "mark all completed before date" option found in Preferences.
