Immerse: Kingdoms (Softcover) - (Immerse: The Reading Bible) (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

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

Kingdoms is the third installment of the six volumes of Immerse: The Bible Reading Experience program. Kingdoms tells the story of Israel from the time of its conquest of Canaan (Joshua) through its struggle to settle the land (Judges, Ruth) and the establishment of Israel's kingdom, which ends in a forced exile (1 & 2 Samuel-1 & 2 Kings). The nation of Israel, commissioned to be God's light to the nations, falls to division and then foreign conquest for rejecting God's rule.

Kingdoms 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, Kingdoms 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 seven Old Testament books features:

• Comfortable single-column text
• No chapter or verse markings
• Book introductions with historical and biblical context
• Natural literary 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.

From the Back Cover

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.
