Though life may seem unimportant or even filled with grief, God uses whomever he chooses to fulfill his good plan for his kingdom. This is shown plainly in the Bible with four women: Esther, Rahab, Deborah, and Ruth. Chosen by God parallels each of these Biblical women in a way that will bring to light how God"s goodness, strength and wisdom shines in a variety of circumstances. Paralleling Queen Esther, The Chosen Queen tells the story of Katyan, a peasant girl turned queen when the prince is forced to find a wife. Uncovering a plot to kill her people after the king dies, Katyan and her husband, newly crowned King Roygan, set out to defeat the enemy of her people. In The Unlikely Helper, Alia Schmidt parallels the prostitute Rahab as she hides Allied spies from the Nazis on the eve of the invasion of Germany in 1945. Leadership is magnified in The Confident Leader as Joanna parallels Deborah when she guides her tribe in an attack thwarting enemy plans to annihilate her peaceful people. Finally, The Willing Widow parallels the love story between Ruth and Boaz as Kit Elliott overcomes her grief at the loss of her husband and finds new life and love as she moves from the wilds of Montana to today"s Kansas City Plaza.
