How to use Connections
  1. Read the rainbow. Every arc joins two chapters that speak to the same thing: a prophecy and its fulfillment, a quote, a shared word or idea. The bars along the bottom are every chapter in order, Genesis on the left and Revelation on the right. Taller bars mean longer chapters. Red arcs join chapters close together; violet arcs span the whole Bible.
  2. Pick a chapter. Drag your finger along the bars, or choose a book and chapter from the menus. That chapter's arcs light up and the rest fade.
  3. Follow a thread. Scroll down and tap any verse. The passages it points to open underneath, with the text right there. The number beside each verse is how many connections it has, strongest first.
  4. While you read. In Read & Listen, the most-connected verses are tinted blue with a small ◠ beside the verse number. Tap the ◠ to see what that verse connects to, without losing your place.
  5. Start where you are. Tap Where you're reading to jump straight to the chapter you're on in the reading plan.

A good habit: after each day's reading, open Connections, tap Where you're reading, and follow the one or two verses that stood out to you. Nothing here moves your place in the reading plan.
