The Book of Judith
God confounds His people's enemies through the actions of a virtuous, beautiful, and brave young widow whose town is in the path of the enemy's army on its way to destroy Jerusalem. The townspeople implore God for help, but it is Judith who devises a plan and risks her life to stop General Holofernes and rescue not only her town but also her nation.
