The idea

To gather the books left out of the Bible, and put them where anyone can read them.

Most people have held a Bible. Almost no one has held these. Enoch, the First Book of Adam and Eve, the infancy gospels, the letters of Clement — for a long time they were read, copied, and debated, and then they were set outside the canon and quietly forgotten.

Not scripture — but part of the story

This app doesn't claim these books as canon, and it isn't here to argue for or against them. It simply puts them in front of you, in plain language, so you can read them for yourself and make up your own mind. A door that's usually kept shut, left open.

"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." — 1 Thessalonians 5:21

Freely given

Every text here is public domain, and the app is free — no account, no price, no catch. It was made to be handed on: share the app, share a passage, pass it to someone curious. That's the whole point.

"Freely ye have received, freely give." — Matthew 10:8

What's inside

Sixteen lost and hidden books — Old and New Testament apocrypha and pseudepigrapha — drawn from public-domain translations, with read-aloud for every chapter, full-text search, and an original illustration for each book. It works offline once installed, and it will always be free.
