How the library is made

The guides are written by AI. They are not written or reviewed by a pastor or theologian. Every Bible passage in them is quoted from the Berean Standard Bible by the app, never typed by the AI, and the reading plans are calculated from the chapters of the Bible itself.

The library opens with your purchase of Faith Companion, along with your personal 30-day plan, which you can also download as a PDF.
