Description
This Covenant Bible Study experience will guide participants in a comprehensive, in-depth study of the Bible over twenty-four weeks. Unlike the learning participants may have experienced in other groups, this in-depth study of the whole Bible emphasizes the biblical concept of covenant as a unifying pattern through all the books in the Old and New Testaments. It underscores the unique relationship that God chooses to have with us as God’s people. This relationship is grounded in the faithfulness of God’s love and on our ongoing commitment to stay in love with God while we share signs of that love with others.
GOD ESTABLISHES THE COVENANT to be in relationship with us. The first participant guide, Creating the Covenant, is available for purchase within the app. It examines how the covenant community is created and established—highlighting several examples throughout scripture. It discusses the story of our origins in Genesis, the Exodus narrative, the teachings of Moses, the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, as well as other books from each Testament that focus on the foundation of Christian faith. Also available for purchase within the app are the second guide—Living the Covenant, the third guide—Trusting the Covenant, the Covenant Leader Guide, the Covenant Meditations, and additional videos.

Ratings and Reviews
not quite there
There's a lot of potential in this app to be a great study guide. The sections are set up to allow you to write margin notes, and there's a place to respond to the prompt for each day.
However, it doesn't remember where you were if you have to leave the app, and always defaults back to the "sample" version of the first book, even if you have made the in-app purchase.
Navigation inside of the app is not intuitive, and the only "setting" is to change the font size.
Most disappointingly is that the notes appear to be somewhat ephemeral -- they do not get shared between devices sharing the app (i.e. notes taken on my iPad will not appear on my iPhone). I'll need to remember to be consistent in where I make notes, even though I am able to do the readings and such from either device.
Footnotes in CEB leave you stranded
I chose the app because I wanted all tools in one place and I liked the idea of clicking a link to do the daily reading. When I use the footnotes in the CEB window, it leaves me stranded at the bottom of the book (not the chapter) and does not give me the option to jump back to where I was in the text. I'm reading chapter 1 and left stranded at the end of chapter 50.
I don't see any option to move easily in the text between chapters and verses. I cannot change the font size in the CEB window.
Not ready for prime time
Bookmarks work intermittently, no audio on videos, no ability to highlight text, sluggish performance. Will there be an update to improve it?
