Release Notes
v2
- added chapter and book navigation
- some code cleanup
v1
Basic functionality. Enter a bible reference (i.e. Matt 1:1) and the chapter is shown with the verse selected. The current module (Bible version) used is the World English Bible (WEB). I would like to change this to a version that is more child oriented. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Feature requests
Please add any features you would like added
- it'd be nice if there were some basic navigation buttons, such as next chapter and previous chapter, and maybe a dropdown menu for all the books --Moocapiean
- Implemented.
- The New International Reader's Version (NIrV) is specifically worded to be read easily by children. You may want to include that as default module. --leetcharmer
- leetcharmer - The NIrV would be nice, but it's not public domain (see http://www.ibs.org/bibles/termsofuse.php) and I think we want to make sure the translation is public domain so that there are not copyright issues for us or for users. A public domain, english translation of the Bible which uses a smaller than usual vocabulary and may thus be appropriate for children and those learning the language is the Bible in Basic English (BBE). It is available as a Sword module. --jenpc
