Yes. Immerse contains the full text of the New Living Translation with brief introductions to each book. Nothing has been added or removed from the Bible text. Click here to look inside.

Chapters and verses were added late in the Bible’s history: chapters in the 13th century and verses in the 16th century. While they can be helpful for finding things in Scripture, they also chop up the text and make it harder to concentrate on the words themselves.

By removing them, the Bible text gets presented in a format that’s easier to read. Letters look more like letters, poetry looks like poetry, and stories read like stories.

Read it! Modern Bibles are full of features which inadvertently distract us, making it hard to get absorbed in the Bible’s pages. With Immerse, you can curl up on the couch or stretch out at the park and simply read.

The NLT is regarded by many as the best reading translation available today. Immerse is not available in other translations.

Using a different Bible would make the experience difficult, since the reading plan uses page numbers to indicate each day’s reading. It will also be difficult to follow the text in discussion groups since people reference passages by page numbers and not chapter or verse.

More importantly, the format matters to the experience. Removing the chapter and verse numbers and restoring the natural breaks and literary formats changes how you read. Presenting the text in a more familiar format, like other books we are accustomed to reading, encourages reading books as whole books, letters as entire letters, and poetry as poetry. It is what the authors originally intended.

Immerse is intentionally uncomplicated. There are no DVD’s, workbooks, or study guides. Group leaders don’t have any prep work or teaching responsibility.

However, there are free resources available on this website to enhance your experience. Weekly videos, an audio edition, pastor and group host guides, and family guides are all available for you to use as you see fit. Click here to see the resources for Messiah.

Immerse is designed to take you through a major portion of the Bible (like the entire New Testament) in 8 weeks by reading 25-30 minutes per day, 5 days a week. The alternative 16-week plan moves at a slower pace, allowing for more flexibility with busy schedules.

Immerse isn’t meant to be a one-off program. Rather, it’s meant to provide an operating system for ongoing immersion in Scripture.

By reading and discussing two Immerse volumes per year, communities can read through the entire Bible in three years. Once they finish they’re invited to start again, forming a habit of regularly journeying through large swaths of Scripture together.

Hundreds of churches have already used Immerse to read through the Bible as a whole congregation, but it’s also being used in schools, universities, prisons, sports teams, families, neighborhoods, and more. Immerse provides an easy, organic way for people in any context to read and discuss Scripture together.
