Defying Jihad by Esther Ahmad

-
"Defying  Jihad"  is  written  by  Esther Ahmad. It is a nonfiction  Christian   very inspiring and   traumatic  story.  Esther was   raised in a very devout  Muslim family.   Her  father  was disappointed  when   she was born because she was not a boy.   He  never  really  valued her.  The family had  Muslim  meetings in their house for many years.   They  followed all the Muslim practices  each and every day. She  was raised to believe  the  highest value was given to those  who killed Christians for Allah.  She  lived in  Pakistan  which is a very strong Muslim country. She  planned on  leaving and   training  to be a jihadist and  kill Christians.  A  few days  before she  was  supposed to  leave she  had a dream with  Jesus face to face   confronting her.   After  various events she  became a Christian. When  her  Dad  realized she  had become a Christian  he   forced her to be  questioned by Muslim scholars for  a whole month.  Normally  if  a Muslim becomes a Christian they   are   killed and   put in display  in  front of many people when they are killed.  His Father told her if she did not  win the debate   she would die.   If  she lost the  debates  she would be killed. She was able to stand up to the   Muslim  scholars and win the debates!   When the debates were held many  people   showed up to  witness them.   They were  very  dramatic and   powerful. It is impressive  that Esther was  able to win every debate considering  she was a new  Christian and had not  had  a Bible for very long.    After   she won the debates her  Father was angry  and wanted her to marry a Muslim and not  continue being a Christian.   What will become of Esther with  all  these Muslim people   wanting to have her killed?    Will she  continue to  keep her  Christian faith?    This  book was  very eye opening to me  about the intense  persecution  in the world for Christians and for  those  that have become Christians    after  previously  being Muslim!  I  became aware of the many   freedoms  We have to practice our religion in America.   This  book  was  an incredible read and so amazing! Thank you to the publisher , netgalley and the  author for allowing me to read and review this book.   I have shared my  review with facebook, Amazon, my  blog , Goodreads,   with pastors,  friends . I hope the book is  very successful and   addresses the   very real risks for Muslims  that  have  become Christian.  I am not obligated to give a positive review.
