Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation
by Eboo Patel
This book is a place of hope. Eboo Patel has founded the Interfaith Youth Core to encourage young people to embrace pluralism instead of religious intolerance.

Acts of Faith interweaves accounts of how religious totalitarian groups engage youth with Patel' s own story of growing up Muslim and angry in America. His unique understanding of the importance of positively engaging religious youth led him to found the Interfaith Youth Core, an energetic organization that seeks to counter religious totalitarianism by building an interfaith, pluralistic youth movement.

"Acts of Faith, a beautifully written story of discovery and hope ... This young social entrepreneur offers us a powerful way to deal with one of the most important issues of our time."
— President Bill Clinton

The Secret History of the American Empire
by John Perkins

Instability is the norm: Its clear that the world we've created is dangerous and no longer sustainable. How did we get here? Who's responsible? What good have we done and at what cost? And what can we do to change things for the next generations?
