A small one: BibleKeep can now open straight to a path from a link, which the Advent and New Year events will use. Everything from the last update is here too: three new paths, the verse that comes back on Day 4 and Day 7, and the counter that counts days walked, never a streak that resets.

Three new paths. How to Read This Book, for anyone starting fresh or back after years away. Shelter, seven Psalms for the anxious. The Road to the Cross, for Lent, handing off to The Third Day at Easter. Twenty-two paths and 154 lessons now, in whatever order your life needs. Keep the verse, again. The path's verse comes back on Day 4 and Day 7, and the look-back at the end of a path asks each day's question once more. Spaced remembering is how a verse becomes yours. If you are new, the path chooser names the three paths to walk first. The counter now counts the days you have walked, never a streak that resets. The morning reminder names today's lesson and is offered after your first one, at the hour you read. An optional evening verse. Share today's verse as a small parchment image. From the first Sunday of Advent, Today offers The Waiting, and the light through your window turns violet for the season.

A small one. The app now asks what you think the first time it has done its job for you, instead of days later, and never on a hard day. Thank you for the ratings: they are what gets a one-person app found.

Your place is kept. A finished lesson is now saved the moment you pass its last card. Before, leaving the app on "Go in peace" could lose the day, and the lesson came back unfinished the next morning. A reader wrote to tell us; thank you. If that happened to you, this update puts it right.

Three new paths. The Third Day: seven days with the risen Jesus, from the empty tomb to breakfast on the beach. The Fire Spreads: Acts for beginners, how a frightened room became the church. Out of Egypt: Exodus for beginners, from a bush that does not burn up to God saying His own name. Twenty-one lessons, every verse checked against the text.

A clearer name on the App Store, and a few small fixes. Every lesson is still free.

The verse widget, readable. Long verses no longer get cut off: the small widget shows the verse's first line, and the medium and large widgets carry the whole verse with room to breathe.

Your window, on your Home Screen: the window you are lighting, exactly as it looks in the app, with today's lesson beneath it and the church year's light through the glass. Small, medium, large, and Lock Screen, plus a verse-of-the-day widget. The Waiting: seven days of Advent. From the first Sunday of Advent, Today offers it on its own. The Hard Questions: why does God allow suffering, is Genesis literal, what if I still doubt. Seven honest lessons for the questions people are afraid to ask in church. Read it as a story: a switch in Settings for the curious or the unsure. The passage, the history and the teaching, without the prayers. Truer reminders: no more "your window is complete" while panes remain. And you can rate BibleKeep from Settings, if it has helped.

Four new paths, twenty-eight new lessons: Wisdom for the Week (seven days in Proverbs), The Stories He Told (seven parables of Jesus), In the Beginning (the first stories of Genesis), and Walking Through Grief (for anyone who has lost somebody). Fourteen paths, ninety-eight lessons, walked in your own order. If BibleKeep has helped, a rating helps someone else find it.

BibleKeep now says on the App Store what it has always done: the Bible, explained in plain words, one small lesson a day. Nothing changes inside the app with this update; it carries the new listing. If BibleKeep has helped you, a rating helps other beginners find a private daily walk with no account and no ads.

A small ask. Once BibleKeep has walked with you for a few days, a card on Today asks for a rating. Ratings help other people find a private daily walk with no account and no ads. Tap Not now and it waits.

Small fixes around BibleKeep Plus: the App Store price now shows in your own currency, your purchase stays with you on a new device, the keepsake PDF builds without pausing the app, and Restore purchase tells you what it found. Larger text sizes fit better in Settings, and VoiceOver reads every button on the Plus screen.

BibleKeep Plus, if you want it: a printable keepsake of every takeaway you've kept, with its date, and a window glass of your choosing (Rose, Sapphire, or Emerald). Every lesson, the sanctuary, the candles, and the calendar stay free. One-time, no subscription, ever.

- Hold down on any verse, teaching, prayer, or note to select and copy it, the way you can in any reading app. - Small improvements.

The light through your window now follows the church year. Violet for Advent, white and gold for Christmas and Easter, purple for Lent, red for Pentecost. Your glass never changes, only the light, and one plain sentence explains each season as it arrives. Your earlier days found the calendar. Lessons kept before BibleKeep recorded dates now rest on best-guess days, shown in softer gold and labeled honestly. Everything stays on your phone, as always.

Read it, then hear it explained. Every one of the seventy lessons now has a short teaching after the passage, in plain words, the way a good pastor would explain it on a Sunday. Lessons open straight into the story now, too. Your calendar. A new tab shows every day you kept a lesson. Tap a day to reread what you walked. Missed days are just quiet days. Paths, not weeks. The lessons you chose are named by the order you walked them, and every lesson shows its place on its path, like Day 3 of 7. Today opens on your window, filling with light as you keep lessons. Tap it to look back over the path. A verse with a note now opens with a tap anywhere on the verse. Text reads beautifully at every size, and a lesson you step away from resumes only that same day. Everything stays on your phone, as always.

BibleKeep feels like the sanctuary it describes now. When you keep a lesson, watch the window: the new pane fills with light like dawn through glass, and a soft morning light now drifts slowly across every lit pane. Prayer candles kindle up from the wick when you light one, and marking a prayer answered gives a gentle tap you can feel. So does the Amen. Small touches everywhere: the progress bar glides with every card, the last word of your memory verse settles in with a quiet glow, counts turn like page numbers, and every choice answers your touch. Everything stays on your phone, as always.

Seven new paths. The library grows from three weeks to ten: Teach Us to Pray, Songs for the Valley, Who Is This Man?, Learning to Love, Do Not Be Afraid, New Every Morning, and Who You Are Now. Seventy lessons in all, each one Scripture first. The book now opens every time you arrive, not just once a day. Finding God has a new door: if you already know you want Him, one tap takes you straight to the prayer. Also fixed: My Walk could repeat a week's section many times over. It shows each week once again, as it should.

• NEW: Finding God. A gentle, unhurried walk through what it means to be saved, with a prayer to begin. Find it in your Sanctuary, anytime • Keep going: finish a lesson and the next one is right there. No more waiting for tomorrow • Every lesson now closes in prayer • Daily reminders that tell you what today's lesson is about, and a verse of the day • The whole app feels more like church: quieter celebrations, softer lessons, a book that opens when you arrive • Choose your next path the moment a window is complete • Small improvements and polish
