With a new afterword
 
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.

Praise for Acts of Faith

  • "A beautifully written story of discovery and hope...offers us a powerful way to deal with one of the most important issues of our time." --Bill Clinton
  • "The best recent American statement about living one's faith in a pluralistic society. It challenges Christian ethics to try to make a similar statement in its own terms." --Robin Lovin, Christian Century
  • "[A] visionary book, part coming-of-age memoir and part call-to-action." --Adam Mansbach, Boston Globe
  • "A thoughtful argument for why anyone who believes in tolerance and peace cannot afford to ignore the spiritual and emotional needs of the young." --Kathryn Masterson, Chicago Tribune
  • "[Patel] describes his own life story as an India-born Muslim raised in America. The autobiography shows how an angry youth can be transformed into a leader for peace." --Charles Huckabee, The Chronicle of Higher Education
  • "So pervasive are misgivings about Muslims in America today that it is difficult to avoid religious prejudice. One remedy is to read Dr. Eboo Patel's remarkable autobiography." --Paul Raushenbush, Beliefnet
