Summary
Sigit Purwadi's Library
- "Irshad Manji is the new voice of reform, not only
for Islam, but for all religions." — Deepak ChopraThe New
York Times bestselling author to whom Oprah gave her first ever
Chutzpah Award, Irshad Manji has written a book that equips all
of us to develop moral courage.Among the most visible Muslim
reformers of our time, Irshad Manji reflects on the journey she
has taken since her previous book catapulted her into the
public spotlight, drawing on her real-life encounters with a
world full of seekers who are struggling, as she has, to
reconcile faith and freedom. Having engaged with politicians,
activists, families, students, scholars and ordinary people of
various religions and cultures, Manji tells stories that are
deeply poignant, frequently funny and always revealing about
the morally confused era in which we live. In doing so, she
paves a path for Muslims and non-Muslims to defend the values
of liberal democracy--and thus discover the Allah of liberty
and love. Above all, Manji shows that by participating in this
signature cause of the 21st century, individuals can embark on
a journey of their own towards moral courage. Allah, Liberty
& Love is ultimately a book about how to become a gutsy
global citizen working for both personal and world peace. Manji
has faith not just in Allah, but also in her fellow human
beings. Prepare to be informed as well as inspired.
