Based on the pilot episode of the groundbreaking TV show, The Chosen, this book will provide little readers with a new experience of the Christmas story from the perspective of the shepherds. Like them, we’ve been chosen by God to be part of the greatest story ever told.

Shepherds were dirty and stinky and poor. They were lowly.

But God doesn’t care what we look like. Or how old we are. Or where we’re from. Or how much money we have. He loves us no matter what!

Which is why a lowly shepherd and his lowly sheep, on a lowly hill, in a lowly town, on the very first Christmas, got to be first in line to meet the Savior of the world.

And then that lowly shepherd got to tell everybody else.

This book brings little readers a new experience of the Christmas story from the perspective of the shepherds. Because like them, we’ve been chosen by God to be part of the greatest story ever told.

Get Used to Different is a nine-week devotional Bible study for students who want to know who they are in Christ, how to follow Him in light of that knowledge, and how to let Jesus lead them in their interactions with those around them.

Every new generation is grappling with the same core questions:

• Who am I?
• Where I fit in?
• How do I find meaning, belonging, and acceptance?

Jesus answered all of these questions through one radically simple statement: “Follow me.”

Through this nine-week Bible study, students will dig into Scripture, alongside The Chosen series to:

• Discover who Jesus says they really are
• Understand what it means to follow Him
• Learn how to surrender in both good and bad times
• Find what their hearts are truly longing for

With reflection questions and discussion guides, along with QR codes that link directly to clips from the show, students will start to understand the freedom that comes from knowing none of us have life totally figured out—but Jesus does. Through Scripture, the show, and this book, students will learn how to get used to different.

God’s Goodness for the Chosen is an eight-lesson Bible study for individuals or groups that follows each episode of season 4 of The Chosen. This study teaches readers how to reframe their hardships and see them as fertile soil for God’s goodness to grow in their lives.

We see it over and over again in the Bible: God brings good things out of bad things for the sake of His people and for His glory. But truth be told, when we personally experience suffering we have a difficult time actually believing it. Yet, life is challenging even for the followers of Jesus, and hardship in the twenty-first century is no exception. God’s Goodness for the Chosen takes readers through eight lessons which reveal how God uses suffering to bring about good things in the lives of those He loves.

You’ll see:

• Death is eclipsed by life
• Grief is eclipsed by praise
• Questions are eclipsed by resolve
• Confusion is eclipsed by grace
• Temporary things are eclipsed by eternal things
• Heartbreak is eclipsed by love
• Sin is eclipsed by obedience
• Pain is eclipsed by the fullness of God’s plan

Indeed, readers will be challenged to embrace the hard things of life, to experience more of the goodness God offers on the other side.
