Review
Any author who has written and sold as many books as Jerry Jenkins might be forgiven a tendency to lean on familiar structure while producing yet another manuscript.
Fortunately, Jenkins is not just ''any author.''
While the broad storyline of Jesus choosing his disciples will be familiar to some, it is the author's deft handling of the historical language and customs of the time that give his newest release a vibrancy rarely felt by readers of any novel.
The Chosen: I Have Called You by Name has been crafted with wise and insightful context. This is the book Jerry Jenkins was born to write.
--Andy Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of The Traveler's Gift, The Noticer, and Just Jones
The only thing better than the film is the book, and the only thing better than the book is the film. Jerry B. Jenkins has taken the brilliant project of Dallas Jenkins--this look into the lives of those Jesus chose to be his followers, his friends, and his ''family''--and gone a step (or more) deeper. Readers will be drawn as quickly into the pages as viewers were into the theatrical moments of The Chosen film project. I cannot say enough about both. --Eva Marie Everson, president, Word Weavers International, and bestselling author.

I have heard the redemptive stories of the Bible told without the emotion that would indicate real people actually experienced these events. Who drained the life blood from the hearts of these men and women? Jerry Jenkins's account of The Chosen: I Have Called You by Name is a refreshing transfusion that restores life to the people of the Bible. You will feel like you are there. You will hear the Messiah call YOU by name.
--Ken Davis, award-winning author, speaker, and communication consultant
When a master storyteller tells the greatest story of all time, you know it's going to grab your heart, mind, and soul. Prepare to be immersed in the very real world of the first century like never before.
--Jay Payleitner, national speaker and best-selling author.
The movie series brought me to tears, but Jerry's book showed me the Jesus I wanted to know. The Chosen: I Have Called You by Name draws the reader into the humanity of Jesus. This story captures authentic insight into his personality. His love, humor, wisdom, and compassion are revealed for every person he encountered. Through Jesus' interaction with the real-life characters, I too experienced the Savior who calls the lost, poor, needy, and forsaken into an authentic relationship.
--DiAnn Mills, Christy Award winner and director, Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writers Conference
Jerry Jenkins is a master storyteller who has captured the action, drama, and emotion of The Chosen video series in written form. Far more than a mere synopsis of season 1, Jerry has shaped and developed the first eight episodes into a fast-paced novel. If you enjoyed the videos, you will savor the story again as Jerry brings each character to life. And if you haven't watched the video series, this novel will make you want to start ... just as soon as you've finished reading the book, of course! --Dr. Charlie Dyer, professor-at-large of Bible, host of The Land and the Book radio program
What better way to bring the gospel to life than to explore the impact Jesus had upon those with whom he came into contact. And what better encouragement for those of us today who hunger for his life-changing presence. I heartily recommend both the video and the book for any who long to experience his transforming love more deeply.
--Bill Myers, author of the bestselling novel Eli
The story of Jesus has been told and re-told, but with this beautiful novelization, Jerry Jenkins brings unique and compelling perspectives to the biblical accounts of Jesus and his followers, echoing those in the acclaimed The Chosen video series created by Dallas Jenkins. As someone who always thinks the book was better than the movie, I was delighted to discover a book and film series that are equally enthralling and even life-changing.
--Deborah Raney, author of A Nest of Sparrows and A Vow to Cherish
Writing with accuracy and immediacy, Jerry Jenkins immerses us in the greatest story ever told in a fresh and powerful way. Jenkins is a master of taking profound scenes and themes from the Bible and weaving them into captivating journeys, whether they are centered on the time of Jesus or the end times. The Chosen: I Have Called You by Name expands on the amazing TV series and will move readers through its unique retelling of the gospel story.
--Travis Thrasher, bestselling author and publishing industry veteran
To a girl who cut her teeth on Bible stories, it's no easy task to transform all-too-familiar characters into an experience that is fresh and alive. That is precisely what Jerry Jenkins has done with his newest novel, The Chosen: I Have Called You by Name. From the first chapter, I was enamored. And by the second and third, I started to see the Jesus I've long loved with new eyes and a more open heart. This book offers the reader more than mere diversion. It offers the possibility of true transformation.
--Michele Cushatt, author of Relentless: The Unshakeable Presence of a God Who Never Leaves
Jenkins (the Left Behind series) delivers a pleasant take on the lives of those who encountered Jesus of Nazareth at the start of his earthly ministry. Jenkins delves into the lives of Mary Magdalene, Simon Peter, Nicodemus, and Matthew the tax collector, among others who were chosen by Jesus to comprise an inner circle. Beginning with the birth of Jesus. The story charts the life of those struggling under Roman control on the shores of Galilee, the early miracles of Jesus, and his revelation as the Messiah to his followers. Jenkins’s depictions add depth and humanity to each figure as they wrestle with doubt, angst, amazement, and devotion. At the same time, the backdrop remains the familiar tales of Jesus’s healings and teachings, including the demon possession of Mary Magdalene, turning water into wine, and speaking to throngs at the Sea of Galilee. Jenkins also supposes a Jesus who has a sense of humor (“Just watch out for the frogs this time!”) and responds with wit (and the occasional wink) as well as wisdom. Those drawn to stories of Jesus’s everyday life will relish Jenkins’s savvy recreation of key moments from the New Testament. (Mar.)

I have watched Season 1 of The Chosen over a dozen times, and this novel is a very faithful adaptation of the show. I'm not sure if there is any additional dialogue, but the reader is able to get some of the interior thoughts of the characters which is a nice addition. While fans of the show will enjoy this book as I did, it would be even more perfect for anyone who, for any reason, cannot watch or has not watched the show itself.

I've watched the first season of this online, and the book was great because it explained some things I either missed or didn't understand from the show!!
I always love reading novelisation of Biblical stories - I love that someone has worked out how things that may seem a bit random in the Bible may have happened so that they make sense together! And it makes me go back to the Bible to read the actual account!

Ahhhhhhhh 😄
Okayyy I don't really know what I expected but this was one of those books that I thoroughly enjoyed
First of all....
it's ✨tHe cHoSeN✨
and there's just something special about it. I mean, what other shows have been appealing to such a wide variety of people in all different situations and places. Not to mention so highly rated and such great quality while being completely free to all people at the same time!
☆ I think it's important to mention that I have watched the first season before reading this book (which I loved because I could picture the scenes in my head and I'm a very visual person so it was like a movie in a book 🍿) So I totally recommend watching the show before you read this book but if you don't it's amazing all the same
☆ I read a lot of reviews that talked about the chapters being very short and even though it's true I think it's important to mention that it's basically movie formatted. So each chapter is like a scene and then there are also sections that separate places and episodes.
☆ All in all a wonderful read, and can we please just talk about how AMAZING the characters in this book/show are?? Showing the personalities of these people are fantastic, and really reminds us that these aren't fairy tales we're reading and that these people are people and not necessarily the saints that we hold them to. They had real lives and real emotions. And that's what's so touching.
4.5 stars
Format: 3.5 stars
Characters: 5 glowing stars
Content: 3 stars
Sexual - One of the main characters was violated before the events of the book and she struggles with the memories (and while it was dealt with carefully the subject was also taken head on). Prostitutes are mentioned but not directly. Some marital kissing (it wasn't anything much at all but I thought I'd mention it all the same)
Alcohol - There is a wedding a wine is mentioned often, nothing bad happens and only one character is really portrayed as being "drunk"
Recommended reader age imo: 13 & up

Dnf around page 245. I love the show with all my heart and soul, but the book is not the same. First of all, it's written in 3rd person present tense, which I guess I've never read before because it kept pulling me out of the story and I couldn't focus. I finally started getting used to it, but I still wasn't enjoying it, so I decided to put it down. I'll just stick to watching the show ❤️

A Fresh Way to see Ancient Stories
How do you tell the stories from the Bible in a fresh way? New York Times bestselling novelist Jerry B. Jenkins has found the way with THE CHOSEN: I HAVE CALLED YOU BY NAME. Whether writing about the shepherds appearing on the night of Jesus’ birth or the Pharisee Nicodemus from the Bible, I was immediately caught up in the drama of these stories. Written with short chapters, I found THE CHOSEN compelling and a page-turner.
The spine of THE CHOSEN says Book 1. I’m eager to read the next book in this innovative storytelling about the Bible. I highly recommend this novel.

The Chosen #2
The Chosen: Come and See: a novel based on Season 2 of the critically acclaimed TV series
Jerry B. Jenkins
4.81
161 ratings21 reviews
As Jesus’ ministry grew, more and more people wanted to hear and be healed by this man claiming to be the Messiah. Some were eager; others were critical and reluctant. All, by encountering Jesus, were forever changed.
Follow along with Jesus’ disciples as they witness miraculous healings, confrontations with the religious establishment, growing concern among Roman officials over Jesus’ popularity, and, most of all, love personified.
Based on the acclaimed TV series, The Chosen, the most amazing story ever told—the life of Jesus—gets a fresh, new telling from New York Times bestselling author Jerry B. Jenkins.
The Chosen: Come and See captures all the action and drama in season two of The Chosen TV series. But it does much more than reflect the show. It also takes us into the backstory, thoughts, and motivations of key characters like Simon (who will later be called Peter), Matthew, Philip, Mary Magdalene, Simon the Zealot, and others. It helps us see them even more as very real, very human, and very much like us.

I enjoyed this book more than the first one. It included more background on the characters and more of what they were thinking/feeling which isn't always evident in the TV series. The book follows the TV script exactly so the additional background makes it worth reading for fan of the series. But it is no substitute for watching the TV series.

Another outstanding novelization of Season 2 of The Chosen TV series about Jesus as seen through the eyes of His followers. The background material in the book makes the TV episodes even more understandable and real. It makes me want you watch each episode again. Jesus and His disciples are portrayed realistically as human beings, not saintly characters.

Most of the time, you read a book first and then watch the film adaptation, and I usually stick to that pattern very closely. The Chosen is an exception - which is also due to the publication dates of the seasons and the accompanying novels - which makes me realize again and again that a "book about the film" can actually be a real enrichment. This experience, which I already had with the first volume, "I called you by your name", has again accompanied my reading of "Come and see for yourself".
In the written version of the second season, further newcomers to the group around Jesus, which includes figures known from the Bible such as the disciples, but also various women. (Which I found to be an absolute plus!) Some characters that are actually familiar from the gospels are placed in completely new stories or presented in such a new light that they are hardly recognizable. At the same time, we don't forget that we are dealing with people with weaknesses, quarrels, jealousies... This portrayal of the group makes the novel seem incredibly lively and approachable. While the goal of the creators of "The Chosen" is to whet their audience's appetite for the Bible, again, as in the first volume, I missed the references to the "reference Scriptures", although this time they are simpler recognizable - also because it is no longer so much about the grandiose prelude to the "Jesus epic" but about telling the story that follows familiar footsteps.
The second novel is also significantly more "theological" in its stories than the first, in my view a clever compromise between the different Christian denominations and working well in the ecumenical context. As a scholar of archeology, I personally sometimes found the very modern language and some inconsistencies in content (especially in terms of names of people and places) bumped into - in the first volume it was either not the case or I didn't notice it - but ultimately every reader should be aware of it that the aim of the series is not to be historically correct, but to give a new perspective on the old stories, which definitely succeeds. All in all, even after reading the book, I stand by my urgent recommendation to everyone who is interested to at least get involved in one episode of "The Chosen" (which is already optically

Incredible
I have loved reading both season 1 and 2 of this series. What a genius way to give us a way of feeling so close to the ministry and heart of Jesus and his disciples and how they must have felt during this life changing journey. And it's also clear and down to earth reading that I feel even my 13 year old granddaughter would be able to enjoy and gain much better insight into Jesus's mission and relationships he's formed with ordinary sinners, not just for adults. Can't wait for season 3.

I was able to see. See the change. See the blessing. See Christ living through me.
Come and see the doubtful and critical believe. Come and see the hated getting loved. The sinful receiving forgiveness, the fighter getting saved.
The book doesn't just retell The Chosen in words. No. That's more like a script. The Chosen: Come and see takes us into a very thorough adventure into the backstories, thoughts, personalities and other fascinating things you can't see in movies.

I liked the book knowing that it is fiction based on the Bible. I like to read the books first before watching the video. A lot of movie is dark and it it hard for me to keep some of the characters straight. I they Jenkins did an excellent job of giving us a view of what it may have been like following Jesus. I recommend this book to everyone. Looking forward to the next one.

This book follows the acclaimed TV series to the letter. The book reads exactly as the script probably would appear. I had enjoyed the first season of Chosen on television and picked up this book before watching the second season. As I was watching the episodes I felt like I had already seen them before because of the depth of description in this book.

Much better than the first, which was basically a word for word recounting of the series. This one goes deeper into the thoughts and feelings of the characters. It helps us understand the motivations of the characters. Jerry Jenkins deepens a fantastic series.
