Editor reviews
In Acts of Faith Eboo Patel, an American Muslim from India, uses his own journey from a teenager hanging out with the wrong crowd to founder and president of the Interfaith Youth Core to illustrate the ways in which young people’s relationship to faith and the world are shaped.
Vikras Adams recounts these poignant anecdotes from Patel’s life; the teachers and friends, travels and meetings with important religious leaders like the Dalai Lama that shaped him with a calm passion that engages and informs.
This audiobook will provide great fodder for thought to anyone interested in what sways the youth to either side of the faith line; that of totalitarianism and hatred or of pluralism and collaboration.
Summary
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. Includes a new Afterword.
