WHEN A GOOD START ISN’T ENOUGH
You begin in Genesis, determined to finish. Then come pages of names, sacrifices, and detailed instructions. You lose the thread. Reading slows, and another attempt ends long before Malachi.
Follow 391 selected sessions across all 39 books. The plan leaves out many long genealogies, name lists, and detailed ritual instructions to help you keep moving through the Old Testament.
From Genesis to Malachi.Come with a simple prayer: “Holy Spirit, speak — I’m listening.” Notice what comes to mind, what stirs in your heart, and who you feel led to pray for.
Pause. Listen. Write. Pray.The passages left out still matter. Return to them when you’re ready to study more deeply, with a clearer sense of the story they belong to.
A first journey to build on.“Your word is a lamp to my feet,
and a light for my path.”
PSALM 119:105 WORLD ENGLISH BIBLE
TIME WITH GOD, WHEREVER YOU ARE
Your next passage is ready in the app, even offline. Read, pause, and write down your questions, insights, convictions, and prayers. When you return, your place is saved.
Long genealogies, name lists, and detailed instructions can interrupt the flow of a first journey through the Old Testament. OT Finisher sets aside many of these passages so you can follow the wider story and make room to listen to God. They remain valuable Scripture to return to for focused study.
Yes. OT Finisher is free, with no ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. You don’t need an account to begin.
This is a path through selected passages, not every verse. The 391 sessions span all 39 books of the Protestant Old Testament, including narrative, wisdom, poetry, prophecy, and selected laws. It leaves out many genealogies and name lists, along with much of the detail about sacrifices, ritual purity, priestly service, and sanctuary construction. Brief lists and ritual passages that support the context remain. Finishing means completing the selected readings across every book.
Yes. Every session’s passage text is included in the app in the public domain World English Bible (WEB). You only need an internet connection if you choose to compare a passage in another translation online.
There are no missed days, streaks, or catch-up assignments. Return whenever you can. If you’ve already started elsewhere, choose a starting point to set your next reading without marking earlier sessions complete.
Your reflections, bookmarks, and reading progress are stored on your device. There is no automatic cloud sync and OT Finisher does not send your journey to an OT Finisher server. You can export a backup to keep a copy or move your journey to another device. On Android, you can optionally choose a folder for seven daily snapshots, either readable JSON files or password-protected backup files. If that folder is cloud-backed, the selected storage provider receives those files under its own privacy policy. A forgotten backup password cannot be recovered. Optional analytics requires your consent and excludes reading and reflection content.
