The New Living Translation is a wonderful translation for personal study and reading, but it’s even better when used in community. We have some amazing resources to help you with outreach, discipleship, small groups, and community growth. And many are also offered in our Spanish sister translation, the NTV!

Created to be used together or separately, these Bibles use a four-step inductive Bible study method so readers can accurately interpret and apply God’s Word.
One Year Chronological Study Bible
Travel through the story of the Bible in the order that the events actually occurred.

Nothing impacts spiritual growth more than spending time in Scripture. Immerse removes many of the barriers that make Bible reading difficult and invites communities to become transformed together through the power of God’s word. Immerse: The Bible Reading Experience is an invitation to a different kind of community interaction with the Bible. Less like a Bible study, more like a book club. With 8- or 16-week reading plans, you read through a large section of the Bible—such as the New Testament or the Torah—and meet once a week for a free-flowing discussion about the text. Also available in the Spanish NTV, which is perfect for bilingual congregations.
