Critics Review

“A beautifully written story of discovery and hope.”—President Bill Clinton “[A] visionary book, part coming-of-age memoir and part call-to-action … A shining vision of the possibilities of interfaith cooperation and pluralistic discourse.” —Adam Mansbach, The Boston Globe “The best recent American statement about living one’s faith in a pluralistic society.”—Robin Lovin, Christian Century “Remarkable … A well-written, compelling testimony to how one man is trying to ensure that different religions can live side by side in peace.”—Paul Raushenbush, Beliefnet.com“Eboo Patel is an exciting new voice of a new America: diverse but not divisive, hopeful but not utopian. He speaks for all of us from a rising generation of bright, brown, and bold Americans who have much to offer a country embarking on a new millennium and in need of new blood.”—Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, executive director of the Zaytuna Institute
