Hello Mr Jenkins I've read your The Chosen: I have called you by name and The Chosen: Come and see. (Love the show, love the book ❤) Was a difficult changing a movie into a book? Because most of the time, books get changed into movies.
Jerry B. Jenkins
No, as you might imagine, much of the heavy lifting has already been done before I write the novel for each season of The Chosen. I work off the scripts and the show itself, so the characters, the sequences, the backstories, etc., are already in place. My job is to add inner monologue, feelings of the characters, imagine even more backstory, etc. It's a lot of work still, but it's fun, and I don't have to create from scratch.

Jerry B. Jenkins:
Hey sir I did as you suggested and reached out to The publisher of Left Behind but they say I have to have a signed copy/permission from you for them to even consider giving me permission to use some of your characters/organizations from the series before they will allow me to use them. Would you be willing to reach out to them on my behalf? I’m trying to do this the right way .
