Description

Parables makes it easy to reconnect with god through stories from the bible written for modern times. Read in bite size chunks or listen to each story on your commute, and be captured by beautiful imagery for each story.

WHAT YOU GET

- A growing collection of over 250 Bible stories, rewritten for clarity and depth
- Two narrators (Matthew and Serena) for each story
- A glossary of people, places, concepts, and events, tap any highlighted term while reading
- Chat to prominent figures in the bible like Jesus, Moses, Solomon, etc, and get verses from the bible.
- Progress tracking across themes and stories
- Daily bible Verses on your home and lockscreen.
- Offline reading and listening — download once, read anytime
- Background audio playback for listening on the go

HOW IT WORKS

Open a story, start reading, and the app saves your place. Come back tomorrow and pick up right where you left off. Mark stories as favorites, browse by theme, or let the home screen surface something new.

If you prefer to listen, tap play and follow along as each word highlights in time with the narrator. Skip forward or back, switch voices, or keep it playing in the background.

BUILT FOR CONSISTENCY

Parables is designed around a simple idea: a short reading habit you return to is more valuable than a long plan you abandon. The journey screen shows your progress compounding over time, not to pressure you, but to remind you that showing up matters more than finishing fast.

A calm, focused space for Scripture, no ads, no clutter, just the story.

Note: You need a subscription to access the story content in parables.

Chat feature includes AI and may not always be accurate, always confirm with the bible and other sources. We only use the messages you provide as the input for chats, and the AI will quote verses directly from a knowledge base of bible verses to increase accuracy.
