Immerse: Poets (Softcover) - Paperback

Part of NLT Immerse: The Reading Bible, Complete Set, the Winner of the 2022 Christian Book Award for Bible of the Year!

Poets is the fifth installment of the six volumes of Immerse: The Bible Reading Experience program. Poets presents the poetical books of the First Testament in two groupings, dividing the books between songs (Psalms, Lamentations, Song of Songs) and wisdom writings (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job). These writings all reflect the daily, down-to-earth faith of God's people as they live out their covenant relationship with him in worship and wise living.

Poets delivers Scripture to the reader as it was originally created: without chapter or verse breaks. While references are made available for ease of finding specific Scripture references, those references do not appear within the actual text of Scripture. This makes for uninterrupted reading of God's Word. Created with the look and feel of a paperback book, and written using the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, the most readable translation available, Poets enables you to easily read and understand the Bible.

Ideal for a fresh approach to Bible study or the spiritual practice of Lectio Divina, this collection of six Old Testament books features:

• Comfortable single-column text
• No chapter or verse markings
• Book introductions with historical and biblical context
• Natural literary and poetic breaks
• A logical book order grouped chronologically or by similar ancient audiences

Contains visual markers for both an 8-week reading plan and a 16-week reading plan.

Welcome to IMMERSE
The Bible Reading Experience

The Bible is an invitation to discover God's Story and then to step into it. So the best thing we can do is immerse ourselves in it--to read at length without distractions, with historical and literary perspective, and in a life-long rhythm with friends. Immerse is a call to a vibrant, transformative relationship with God and others through his word.

Immerse: The Reading Bible comes in six volumes and features the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, a clear and faithful rendering of God's word in contemporary English.
