About Chosen

From the publisher's feed

We can often expect God to communicate His presence in very grand ways: a burning bush, parting sea, or pillar of cloud. But more times than not, God chooses the simple, quiet, and seemingly ordinary moments of daily life to communicate His love. Chosen, a Region Catholic Production, spends time each week reflecting on the ways God shows us his love and how to best respond.
