Use Page Selection to Revisit a Reading Place
BiblesClick ·
When reading longer books like Deuteronomy or Numbers on BiblesClick, it is unlikely that you will finish the entire text in a single sitting. The ability to quickly return to a specific section is essential for maintaining a consistent reading habit. By understanding how the reader’s navigation tools work, you can easily jump between different chapters and verses without manual scrolling.
Direct Page Navigation
The page selection tool allows you to input a specific page number to jump directly to that part of the book. This is far more efficient than clicking 'next' dozens of times to reach the middle of the Book of Psalms. To make this work for you, consider keeping a small physical notebook or a digital note on your device to jot down the page number where you finished your last session.
Since BiblesClick does not feature an automatic bookmarking system or reading plans, this manual tracking is a helpful way to stay organized. When you return to the site, simply select your book—such as Proverbs—and use the page selector to resume your progress. This method ensures you never lose your place even if you switch between different books in the catalog.
Step-by-Step Movement
For shorter movements, the 'previous' and 'next' buttons provide a traditional page-turning experience. This is ideal when you are actively engaged in a reading session and want to move through the text verse by verse. These buttons are conveniently located to ensure that the focus remains on the beautiful, custom-rendered text you created in the editor.
You can also use these buttons to quickly scan for specific passages you recently read. If a particular verse in Genesis caught your eye, clicking 'previous' a few times is a quick way to find it again. The interface is designed to be responsive, making these small adjustments feel fluid and natural during your study time.
Consistency Across Books and Languages
Navigating by page is also a great way to see how your alphabet looks across different types of content. You might jump to the beginning of Exodus to see how your capital letters look in the introductory verses, and then jump to the end of the book to check for consistency. The page selector makes these comparisons instant and easy.
If you are using BiblesClick in one of the other supported languages like Spanish or Italian, the page numbers may vary slightly due to text length. However, the navigation tools remain identical across all four languages. This consistency makes it easy to use the platform even if you are exploring the text in a language you are currently learning.
Navigation and Data Security
One realistic limitation to keep in mind is that the BiblesClick reader does not support in-app study notes, highlighting, or comments. The platform is dedicated to the visual experience of reading scripture in your own handwriting style. If you need to record insights or cross-references, you will need to use an external journal or application alongside the BiblesClick reader.
Furthermore, remember that your unfinished drafts are saved locally in the browser. If you clear your browser's local storage or use a private browsing mode, you may lose access to the current draft you are working on. Always ensure your alphabet is fully completed and named if you wish to rely on the five local save slots for your reading sessions.
