The Chosen

Come and See: a novel based on Season 2 of the critically acclaimed TV series

2022

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 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.

Not My Will...

2025

In Not My Will… Jerry Jenkins invites you into the tumultuous final days of Jesus’ earthly ministry—what’s become known as Holy Week. Beginning with His triumphant entry into Jerusalem astride a donkey’s colt, the story covers a side of Jesus we haven’t seen before: His righteous rage at the moneychangers in the temple. The story delves deeply into the minds of the disciples and other close followers of Jesus, including the fear and scheming of both High Priest Caiaphas and Governor Pontius Pilate and his dream-tormented wife. Judas’s haunting betrayal looms while Jesus faces His darkest night of the soul in Gethsemane, where His surrender to His Father and then to the Romans comes at an unspeakable cost. In vivid detail and with emotional depth, this novel captures the heartbreak, hope, and humanity of the most pivotal week in the history of the world. More than retelling the story, Not My Will… takes you deeper into the hearts and minds of the show’s many intriguing characters like Mary Magdalene, Pontius Pilate and his wife Claudia, and Judas.
