Tap the title and up pops the navigation grid.

When I listen to a sermon I usually go directly to a verse.  My vote is to
add an additional grid for the verse selection.  So +1 to the above.  I
would want this done with the fewest taps as possible,  I think no more than
4 taps. 1. to open grid 2, 3, & 4 to select book, chapter, and verse.
