Abide Near
About Abide Near
Stories of Scripture, shaped to be entered slowly and carried beyond the page.
Abide Near creates illustrated Bible books and illustrated parables of Jesus — Christian storybooks for readers who want to enter an ancient story, understand its world, and draw nearer to the way of Jesus.
Enter the story. Remain with the truth.
Each volume begins by making room for the biblical narrative itself. Art, pacing, and carefully restrained prose invite attentive reading before explanation. The book then returns to the passage through Scripture, context, reflection, and prayer.
Made for attentive reading
The Living Vine brings illustrated Bible storytelling and tactile visual craft into premium illustrated hardcovers and softcovers for teenagers and adults. Every edition is designed as a book to hold, revisit, and live with—not a disposable reading experience.
A library that grows by need
Readers can explore the collection through Reading Paths: themes such as mercy, renewal, growth, courageous faith, hope, discernment, and belonging. A single story can appear along more than one path because life rarely presents one question at a time.
