Bible reading

The Bible reading pillar is for noting what you read (one or more passages) and, if you want, a short note — without writing a full sermon note.

Log what you read — Bible passages and an optional note.

Frequently asked questions

Is a note required to save?
No. In practice passages alone or a note alone is enough; you can save with passages only.

Several readings the same day?
Yes — each save is a row; the chart adds sessions for that day.

Reading duration field?
The reading form has no duration field (unlike Prayer).
