Reader Reviews
Now in a deluxe Beacon Classics edition,
Acts of Faith
is a remarkable account of growing up Muslim in America and coming to believe in religious pluralism, from one of the most prominent faith leaders in the United States
Eboo Patel’s story is a hopeful and moving testament to the power and passion of young people—and of the world-changing potential of an interfaith youth movement.
The afterword to this new edition brings readers into the next decade of political and religious division in America, midway through President Trump’s first and only term in office and in the aftermath of an election that brought our political and religious dividing lines to the forefront of our actions.
Despite the distinct challenges of divisive times, Patel reminds us that true interfaith leadership involves embracing the tools and knowledge passed down by others to reinforce lifelong habits of tolerance and change. In building interfaith institutions that bring people of differing belief systems and identities, we can move one step away from homogenous extremism and one step closer to a more accepting society committed to pluralist change.
