Abide in Him & Remain Devotionals
by Samantha Roe
Remain is a devotional written for interpreters and ministry servants who desire to stay anchored in Christ long after the “yes.” While Abide in Him was the invitation to draw near to Jesus while serving, Remain is the call to keep choosing Him daily through every season of ministry — the joyful, the exhausting, the uncertain, and the sacred. With honesty, encouragement, and a heart centered on worship, Samantha reminds readers that abiding was never meant to be a one-time encounter, but a lifelong lifestyle of staying close to Jesus.

Articulate
by Rachel Kolb
Now, in Articulate, Kolb blends personal narrative with commentary to explore the different layers of deafness, language, and voice. She tells the story of how, over time, she came to realize that clear or articulate self-expression isn’t just a static pinnacle to reach, a set of words to pronounce correctly, but rather a living and breathing process that happens between individual human beings. In chronicling her own voice and the many ways she’s come to understand it, Kolb illuminates the stakes and complexities of finding mutual and reciprocal forms of communication.
