Hour 1: The People's Justice
For thirty years, Clarence Thomas has been denounced as the “cruelest justice,” a betrayer of his race, an ideologue, and the enemy of the little guy. Today, Judge Amul Thapar will demolish that caricature. Every day, Americans go to court. Invoking the Constitution, they fight for their homes, for a better education for their children, and to save their cities from violence. “Finding the right answer,” Justice Thomas has observed, “is often the least difficult problem.” What is needed is “the courage to assert that answer and stand firm in the face of the constant winds of protest and criticism.”
Hour 2: Defying Jihad
When she was 18, Ester Ahmad, was a radical Islamist who volunteered to become a suicide bomber. But just before she was to carry out her mission, she had a dream that changed everything---and she became a Christian. Her furious father forced her to debate Muslim scholars. Would God give her the words---and save her life? Join us for this compelling and riveting true story.

Esther Ahmad
Esther Ahmad was born into a devoted Muslim family in Lahore, Pakistan. When she was a teen, she joined a religious political organization linked to extremist fundamentalists. Shortly thereafter, she encountered the Lord Jesus Christ. After a year of comparative study between the Quran and the Bible, she became Christian and later married a committed Christian man. Although she and her family have experienced a great deal of adversity, they are grateful for the Lord's faithful protection along the way. Esther and her family now live in the United States, where they share about Jesus with both Muslims and Christians.
