I have been using The Word One to One to read through the Gospel of John with friends for several years now. I find the app easy to use and share, and the notes wonderfully helpful to clarify the meaning of the passages. My friends enjoy reading John’s gospel with me, and they are meeting Jesus as we read and talk about what we’ve read together. I truly enjoy my role of reading the Bible with my cFriendly Neighborhood Disciple

This has been fantastic to read thru the gospel of John with an unbelieving friend! The format, notes, definitions, historical background and dates, and summaries are clear and concise and very doable for two busy moms trying to dig into scripture weekly and talk about what we learn about who Jesus is..:the son of God!Another Pilgrim in progress
