Choose an Available Book Before Starting Your Lettering Project
BiblesClick ·
Before you spend time meticulously drawing every letter and punctuation mark at biblesclick.com, it is essential to know which texts you can actually apply them to. The platform currently supports a specific selection of biblical books rather than the entire Bible. Understanding the catalog ensures that your creative effort is directed toward a project you can actually complete and enjoy within the reader interface.
Identifying Supported Biblical Books
The current BiblesClick catalog includes foundational books such as Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. For those who prefer wisdom and poetry, the platform also offers the books of Psalms, Proverbs, and Song of Songs. While this covers a significant portion of important scripture, it is not the full Protestant or Catholic canon, so you should plan your reading projects accordingly.
If you were hoping to apply your alphabet to a book not listed, such as the New Testament or the Major Prophets, you will need to wait for future updates. It is also important to note that while other historical works like the Zohar or Sefer Yetzirah might be mentioned in various contexts, they are not included in the Bible book selection on BiblesClick. Always check the official book list in the reader before you begin your project.
Matching Style to Book Content
Knowing which book you will be reading can help you choose an appropriate drawing style. For the narrative-heavy book of Genesis, you might want a very clear, easy-to-read style that suits long periods of storytelling. Conversely, the structured laws in Leviticus might benefit from a more formal and rigid alphabet. Having a specific book in mind helps you tailor your characters to the genre of the text.
You can switch which book you are reading at any time within the reader interface. Once your alphabet is saved, it can be applied to any of the available books in the catalog. This versatility allows you to see how your handwriting looks across different types of literature, from the historical accounts of Exodus to the short, rhythmic sayings found in the book of Proverbs.
Language Availability for Your Alphabet
BiblesClick supports four different languages for reading: English, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. When you draw your alphabet, you are creating a set of characters that will be used to display the selected book in whichever of these languages you choose. This is particularly useful if you are bilingual or if you are practicing a second language by reading familiar passages.
It is important to remember that the platform does not translate the text for you; it simply provides existing editions of the books in those four languages. The exact provenance of these editions is unverified, so they should be treated as standard reading texts. Ensure that your alphabet includes all the necessary punctuation marks used in your chosen language to avoid missing symbols during your reading session.
Managing Project Scope and Saves
Since you can save up to five finished alphabets, you could technically create a different style for every few books in the catalog. This helps organize your progress if you are working through the Torah or the poetic books systematically. Naming each alphabet after the book it was designed for is a simple way to keep your local storage organized and easy to navigate.
One realistic limitation is that BiblesClick does not offer automatic reading plans or progress tracking across the books. You will need to manually remember where you left off in Genesis or Psalms. Using an external notebook to track your reading progress or to jot down thoughts is a great way to supplement the visual experience provided by the app, as the app itself is focused solely on the display of the text.
