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.

I received this book as a gift from a friend who also really enjoyed it. Less than 100 pages in I decided it was already my new favourite book!
Not only does it give such an insight into the lifestyle of a devout Muslim community and Islamic beliefs, it also displays God's incredible power, love and grace and how he can radically change lives in the most unbelievable circumstances! Esther's story reveals God's character as not just a sovereign, powerful saviour, but also as a loving, gracious, caring father.
Reading about Esther's personal encounters with God, the miracles he performed in her life, and the way that God gave her the words to prove that He really is the one, true, real God has solidified my own faith and brought me so much joy in the Lord! So touching and moving, I cried so many times out of pure love and awe for our Lord and Saviour!
And just reading about the things that Esther endured because of her faith and the way she clings to God is so empowering and there were so many times that I found myself thinking 'gosh, this girl was so strong in her faith that not even the utmost pain and suffering could shake her love for God!!' Romans 8:38-39 says "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
5 stars is not enough to capture how incredible this book is! I am recommending it to all of my friends and family, please find the chance to read this book, it will change your life!
