By simply reading and then gathering once per week in \u201cbook club\u201d style groups, your congregation will have a place to voice their questions, talk about their concerns, and celebrate \u201caha!\u201d moments together.<\/p>\n<p>Each Immerse experience is designed to take your congregation through a significant portion of the Bible in eight weeks. By setting aside eight weeks twice per year for a focused Bible reading campaign, your church can read through all six volumes together\u2014the entire Bible\u2014in just three years.<\/p>\n<p>Immerse: The Bible Reading Experience begins its three-year journey through the Bible with the <em>Messiah<\/em> volume. Reading the entire Bible is a new challenge for most people, so we believe it\u2019s best to begin with the most familiar part, the New Testament. This also helps reinforce that Jesus is the center of the whole biblical narrative. After that, congregations can delve into the five volumes that cover the First Testament, getting the crucial backstory that Jesus was born into. Of course, churches are also free to take up any of the six Immerse volumes in any order they want to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- end main text --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"text-sidebar two-up\"><!-- TIME INVOLVED BOX --><\/p>\n<div class=\"text-sidebar-box time-involved\">\n<header class=\"text-sidebar-header\"><i class=\"zmdi zmdi-timer\"><\/i> Time Involved<\/header>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>5<\/strong> days a week<\/li>\n<li><strong>20-30<\/strong> minutes per day<\/li>\n<li><strong>8<\/strong> weeks<\/li>\n<li><strong>2<\/strong> times per year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- end time involved box --><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONVERSATION STARTERS BOX --><\/p>\n<div class=\"text-sidebar-box conversation-starters\">\n<header class=\"text-sidebar-header\"><i class=\"zmdi zmdi-comments\"><\/i> 4 Conversation Starters<\/header>\n<ul>\n<li>What stood out to you this week?<\/li>\n<li>Was there anything confusing or troubling?<\/li>\n<li>Did anything make you think differently about God?<\/li>\n<li>How might this change the way we live?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- end conversation starters box --><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p><!-- end text sidebar --><\/p>\n<p><!--Immerse comes with additional materials, including weekly videos, a custom audio edition, and Family Guide.
