The Chosen Book One

You are called by name.

Every follower of Jesus in the Gospels had a not-so-great "before." A brash fisherman. A pious religious leader. A demon-possessed woman. A thieving tax collector. But God's love reached beyond the brokenness and called them before His transformative work of redemption even began. And He called them His own.

He's still doing that today.

Encounter Jesus the way His followers did. In The Chosen: 40 Days with Jesus, explore the moving backstories of Simon Peter, Nicodemus, Mary Magdalene, Matthew, and other recipients of Jesus' miracles. You can't help but identify with their recklessness, rough pasts, religious piety, desperation for life change, and, ultimately, their redemption. Written to accompany the hit multi-season series about the life of Christ, each of these forty devotions contains a Scripture, a unique look into a Gospel story, suggestions for prayer, and questions that lead you further in your relationship with Christ.

Experience the transformative love and power of the One who sees past your "before" to the "after" He can redeem you to be.
