Immersion Bible Studies: Apocrypha
Ebook
Journey inside the pages of Scripture to meet a personal God who
enters individual lives and begins a creative work from the inside
out. Shaped with the individual in mind, Immersion encourages
simultaneous engagement both with the Word of God and with the God
of the Word to become a new creation in Christ
Immersion, inspired by a fresh translation--the Common
English Bible--stands firmly on Scripture and helps readers
explore the emotional, spiritual, and intellectual needs of their
personal faith. More importantly, they’ll be able to discover God’s
revelation through readings and reflections.
