About this listen
If you truly love Allah, you will die for him. Your death will mean much reward for you and your family in heaven. Only death will prove your love.
It was the final test. A chance to win not only the love of Allah, but the love of her father - something she had never been able to earn. Esther took a deep breath and raised her hand in the air. At the age of 18, she had just volunteered to become a suicide bomber.
Defying Jihad is the true story of a girl growing up under radical Islamic rule, trained to believe her ultimate purpose was to serve Allah by dying as a jihadist. But two nights before she was to leave forever, she had a dream...one that would change the course of her destiny.
Against all odds, Esther became a follower of Jesus - even though leaving Islam meant her death sentence. But rather than kill her immediately, Esther's furious father challenged her to a series of public debates with Muslim scholars: the Bible versus the Quran. If Esther won, she might yet survive. But if the Muslim clerics won, Esther must renounce her Christian faith. For an entire month - if she lived that long - Esther would be brought before the mob daily to defend her newfound faith. Would God give her the words to argue against Muslim leaders, former friends, and even her own family?
Defying Jihad is an amazing story of a woman prepared to surrender all for Jesus - and whose life transformed from terror to overwhelming love.

Powerful witness to faith and courage
An incredibly honest account of the courage of an intelligent young woman who was willing to die twice, once out of fear and evil and once for love and truth. May God be praised to rescuing her on both occasions , for using her intelligence and courage to speak truth over confusion and lies and for bringing her and her family to safety to enable them to witness to others. This book emboldens the reader to speak the love of God into the world.

Very insightful
Wonderful story of redemption. It taught me how to love and pray for my Muslim neighbours, that they might see Christ through me, and also in visions, dreams and through miraculous signs and wonders.
God is good.

Beautifully written. Educational and insightful.
So grateful for this book. Shows the heart of God towards each one of us. Also gives such powerful insight into the blind deception used by the enemy. John 14:6 Luke 11:9

solidified my faith in the lord
This book is an excellent retelling of Esther's Christian conversion, persecution, and passion. her story touched me deeply and cuts straight through the twisting extremists put onto others.
I'm not sure I believe every word in this book, but the debates, the trials, the longing for God all made me realise just how incredibly lucky I am to not only be born in a Christian household in a country free from violent persecution.
I'm ashamed despite the freedom I enjoy, I haven't prayed or read my bible as often as she has. I often turn away from God in hard times instead of running to him. Yet with and without a bible she sends praises and prays to God. reading this book definitely begins a new chapter in my own life.

A profoundly moving account of becoming free!
This book is a riveting account of a woman's life before and after becoming Christian.
She, belonged to a very militant Islamic strain and therefore was brainwashed into believing that the only way to please Alla was to commit Jihad..
It is well written and narrated with great feeling.
A must read for anyone interested in understanding why Moslem's hate and want to kill in the name of Allah.
