10chapters

This is a small helper program, for Professor Grant Horner's Bible-Reading System. In this system you read ten chapters of the bible per day. Grant Horner divided the bible into ten lists. You read one chapter from every list every day.

This command line tool prints the ten chapters for a given day. (Currenty in German only.)

Usage

10chapters allows two ways of retrieving the list for a day. Info about all options can be found calling 10chapters -help.

1. Using the start date:

   10chapters -date-started 2018-02-16 [-days-advanced 4] [-days-skipped 3]
   

   Will print the chapters for today, when the first list was read on 2018-02-16. The default is todays date. This parameter can be useful in an alias: alias 10chapters='10chapters -date-started 2018-02-16' Now 10chapters will always print the correct chapters for today.

   -days-advanced and -days-skipped can be used to adjust the calculations. Increment -days-advanced when you read 20 chapters in a day. Increment -days-skipped when you missed reading the chapters one day. This will shift the printed list for the same start date. Default is 0 for both.

2. Using the number of the day:

   10chapters -day n
   

   n can be any number starting from 1, which is also the default.

Note that -day trumps -date-started. 10chapters -date-started 2010-10-11 -day 113 will always print the list for day 113.

Example: the ten chapters using start date

$ 10chapters -date-started 2018-02-16 -days-advanced 4 -days-skipped 3
