Bible devotionals and study guides with every verse quoted exactly

Thirty days or eight to twelve sessions, each built around a passage from the Bible that is fetched word for word from the translation you choose. Your own practice, doubts and community go into specific entries through a short interview, and you approve every passage before a word is written.

What it actually writes

A real book from the studio, not a mock-up.

The Night Feed: 30 Days of Quiet for Exhausted New Parents
  • The 3am Feed · Romans 8:26-27
  • The Unwashed Dish · Psalms 46:10
  • The Pram in the Hallway · Isaiah 40:11
  • The Half-Drunk Coffee · 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. — Romans 8:26-27, KJV. It's 3:14am in Leeds, and I am sitting in the nursing chair with Rohan tucked into the crook of my left arm. The room is lit only by the little plug-in nightlight from IKEA. He is drinking with his eyes closed, one hand pressed flat against my chest.

Day one of a devotional. The verse is the King James text, fetched and quoted exactly; the 3am feed came from the interview.

Questions, answered

Where does the text come from?

Thirteen public-domain translations in seven languages: World English Bible, King James, American Standard, Douay-Rheims, Almeida, Cornilescu, Russian Synodal, Chinese Union and more. The studio fetches each passage from the source and quotes it exactly; the model is told never to quote scripture from memory.

Can I choose the passages?

Yes. The planner proposes one passage per entry; you see all of them in the plan with the fetched text, and can change any reference before writing starts. A reference that cannot be found is flagged.

What kinds of book can I make?

A daily devotional (28 to 31 days, each with the passage, a reflection, a short prayer or contemplation and a question) or a study guide (8 to 12 sessions with setting, close reading, application and discussion questions), both in 48 languages.

Does it respect my tradition?

The interview asks which community you write from and who will read it, and the writer is instructed to stay within Christian tradition and not lecture about others. Your own practice and experience are worked into specific days.

Can I publish and sell it?

Yes. The translations offered are public domain, CC0 or CC-BY, so the quoted text can be published. Amazon KDP requires disclosing AI-generated text; the copyright page carries a note you can edit.
