Read a chapter of the Bible, show where the text says it, and lead a group through it.
Wayfold is a chapter-by-chapter study tool for people who read the Bible and want to follow it closely: what happens, in what order, where it happened, and which words in the chapter prove it. It is built for reading comprehension and small-group study, not daily inspiration or trivia.
STUDY A BOOK, CHAPTER BY CHAPTER Six study books, 21 chapters: Ruth and Jonah free; Philippians, James, Habakkuk and Philemon with Premium Lifetime. • Read the full chapter in the World English Bible, or have it read aloud • Answer comprehension questions, then see the exact words in the chapter that answer them • Trace the chapter: put its key moments in order, each tied to the verse where it happens • Find the verse: tap the line in the chapter that answers a prompt • Go deeper: short notes on history, language and interpretation, each labeled • Write a notebook entry for every chapter, and export your notebook
LEAD A SMALL GROUP • Printable leader guides (PDF) for a single chapter or a whole book • Each session has a short introduction, the chapter outline in order, discussion questions with an answer key and verse references, a background note, the places named and a reflection question • Print, save to Files, AirDrop or email them. The Ruth group guide is free
WHERE IT HAPPENED, IN EVERY CHAPTER • A place index for the whole Bible: 774 chapters linked to the places they name • Open any chapter in the reader to see its places on a map; open any place to see every chapter that names it • 64 places on Apple Maps, each labeled by how confident scholars are in the location: well established, likely, debated or uncertain (map tiles need a connection) • Location data from OpenBible.info Bible Geocoding Data (CC BY 4.0) • 10 journeys to step through stop by stop: Abraham, the Exodus, Ruth and Naomi, David, Elijah, Jonah, the life of Jesus and Paul's travels to Rome • A timeline of 27 events, each marked as established, approximate, traditional or undated
BACKGROUND, WHEN YOU NEED IT • 63 short background lessons on people, places and covenants, from Creation to the early Church • 60 connections between passages written centuries apart • 113 plain-English notes on terms like covenant, tabernacle and Son of Man, tappable inside the reader • 93 people with their passages and the journeys they took
HONEST BY DESIGN • Scripture is quoted word for word, never paraphrased • Every explanation is labeled: In the text, History, Interpretation, Traditions differ, or Debated • Sources named for history and language notes • Catholic and Protestant readers both supported: choose 66 or 73 books • Nothing is generated while you use it. Every explanation is written in advance and every quotation is checked against the bundled Bible text
