Bible Navigation

The Bible is composed of Books that contain Chapters that contain Verses. Scripture References are written as Book Chapter:Verse (Example: John 3:16). The purpose of the Quick Bible app is to help the user Navigate quickly to a passage of the Bible based on a known Scripture Reference. In this app, one chapter is shown at a time. The Current Verse will have a border around it. Note that the Current Verse is not the same as a Selected Verse.
