The Chosen – Book 1: I Have Called You By Name – Jerry B. Jenkins

Based on the groundbreaking global video phenomenon. Experience the life, power, and radical ministry of Jesus through the eyes of the everyday people whose lives were forever transformed.

What would it have truly felt like to encounter Jesus face-to-face in the dusty streets of first-century Galilee? How would His presence have altered your worldview, challenged your understanding of God, and completely turned your reality upside down? In The Chosen – Book 1: I Have Called You By Name, New York Times bestselling author Jerry B. Jenkins delivers a luminous, deeply immersive novelization of the hit television series, bringing the ancient world of the Gospels to vibrant, breathing life.

Rather than viewing the story from a detached historical distance, this novel invites you to walk alongside the everyday individuals chosen to follow Him. Witness the profound emotional and spiritual transformations of a charismatic fisherman struggling with debt, a deeply troubled woman fighting her inner demons, and a lonely tax collector ostracized by his own people. Written with historical richness and deep psychological insight, this book offers a fresh, intimate perspective on the perfect Son of God, capturing the warmth, humor, and revolutionary power of His ministry through a profoundly human lens.
