Baltimore Sun, review in the February 18th issue: “Halaby's
lyric recounting of her characters' choices . . . adds a poignancy to what
is ultimately a very dark tale of the way we live now . . . Halaby weaves
her once-upon-a-time Arabian tale with a harsh lyricism and keen insight into
what it means to be disenfranchised, divested of everything you have earned
on whim and suspicion alone.” (http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/custom/attack/bal-id.bk.halaby18feb18,0,5557042.story?coll=bal-attack-headlines)

Acts of Faith,
Eboo Patel, cloth, July 2007, $22.95, 978-0-8070-7726-9
“Religious pluralism is one of the greatest challenges facing the world
today. Acts of Faith is the inspiring story of Eboo Patel’s own
life journey and his vision in creating an interfaith youth movement. He shows
how educating a new generation to reject religious intolerance and work for
the common good is the only way the world can avoid growing fanaticism and
violence. This hopeful book shows the power that is waiting to be engaged
for a better future. I highly commend it.” —Jim Wallis, author of

spiritual vision: a future in which young people join hands in service across
the lines of religion. Refreshing, honest, and hopeful, it will speak to the
soul of a generation yearning for a new way ahead. Give it to every young
person in your life—and to yourself.” — Diana Eck, author of
