*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 eighteen, 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.

Defying Jihad: The Dramatic True Story of a Woman Who Volunteered to Kill Infidels and Then Faced Death For Becoming One$24.99
An amazing story of faith and courage, I could not put this book down, what God was doing in her life was so astounding I could not peel my eyes away until I found out what happened next. Her story has also inspired me to be so grateful to live somewhere where I can have a Bible and not fear persecution, and read it whenever and wherever I want. It has inspired me to cherish the Scriptures with the passion and thirst the author had.

Incredible Read
Amazing and inspiring. I couldn't put this book down and ended up reading it within 2 days. Incredible to be such courage and strong beliefs in a society which is against them. Really challenging. One of the best books I read this year.

Powerful Testimony
An amazing, moving and very powerful testimony of a woman from Pakistan living in an Islamic culture, where Christians are heavily persecuted! Her chances of ever converting to Christianity in an oppressive and completely Muslim society were near impossible but lo-and-behold-Jesus is present everywhere. Opened up my eyes to Islamic culture, the Koran, and how ever moving the Holy Spirit is all over the world. I finished the book in 2 days- was that good!

Eye Opening
Eye opening. The book reveals the power of Jesus and the Bible. His Word is alive. It will give you a different perspective and that behind every person is a story, one that Jesus wants to be part of.

Highly recommend!
This is such an amazing and inspiring book - thank you Esther for sharing your story. I read it in three days as it was really gripping, I couldn't put it down, and normally I am not good at finishing books! I really highly recommend this book to everybody!
