About this product
Product Information
In The Light We Give, Simran Jeet Singh - writer, educator, and human rights activist - shares a powerful approach to living a purposeful and rewarding life. Growing up in Texas the son of Indian immigrants, he has confronted racism, bullying, and ethnic slurs throughout his life: at school, on the athletic field, in his San Antonio neighborhood, and on the streets of New York City. Instead of growing bitter or angry, Singh draws from Sikh teachings to seek out the good in every situation and find positive ways to direct his energy. These tenets of love, caring, and service to others have empowered him to forge a life of connection and a commitment to justice that have brought him deep happiness and made him a national figure in the areas of diversity, inclusion, and social justice. The Light We Give is a new approach to building a personal vision of ethical living in which love, caring, and service go hand in hand with personal happiness. This book speaks to those who are inspired to take on positive change but don't know where to begin. To those who crave the chance to be compassionate but are afraid of being vulnerable. To those who seek the bravery to confront hatred with true love. As a self-described 'brown-skinned, turban-wearing, bearded Sikh born and raised in Texas,' Singh has spent his life reaching beyond his comfort zone to practice this deeper form of living. He believes that everyone can learn the skills and insights that have kept him engaged and led him to a commitment to activism without becoming consumed by anger, self-pity, or burnout. Part memoir, part spiritual journey, The Light We Give is a transformative book of hope that shows how each of us can turn away from fear and uncertainty and move toward renewal and positive change.

Praise for The Light We Give : "I love this book: The riveting story of Simran Jeet Singh's life growing up as a Sikh kid in San Antonio with his brown skin and turban, written so beautifully, both somehow exciting and humble. It is rich in wisdom, religious and personal, and it is absolutely charming." --Anne Lamott, New York Times bestselling author of Dusk, Night, Dawn , and Help, Thanks, Wow "I found this book utterly fascinating. A compelling and enthralling introduction to Sikh traditions that will speak to people of every faith--and those who are looking for one. In its own unique way it is an important contribution to interfaith relations in our country. " --James Martin, SJ, author of Learning to Pray " The Light We Give is an extraordinary book. With moral insight and an abiding commitment to make this world better one act at a time, Simran Singh pierces through the depressing noise of these dark days with a gentleness and care that soothes and inspires. Sikh wisdom and love leap from every page. After reading this book, I want to be better. I want to do better!" --Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., author of Begin Again, Praise for The Light We Give : "I love this book: The riveting story of Simran Jeet Singh's life growing up as a Sikh kid in San Antonio with his brown skin and turban, written so beautifully, both somehow exciting and humble.

In its own unique way it is an important contribution to interfaith relations in our country. " --James Martin, SJ, author of Learning to Pray, Praise for The Light We Give : "Clever, informative, and very accessible, Singh's first book for adults explores tenets of the Sikh faith and applies them to everyday life...he uses relatable humor and amusing anecdotes to connect with readers about his faith and show them how they, too, can apply it to their lives...Readers will come away from the book wanting to be better themselves and to work for positive change in the world." -- Booklist "An accessible work that combines personal testimony of a fascinating and little-understood ethnic and religious minority in America...A worthwhile and readable introduction to Sikhi and a strong testament to peaceful living." -- Kirkus , STARRED REVIEW "I've appreciated Simran's writing for years now, and I really love this book. The Light We Give is a beautiful reflection of how so many Sikhs experience our world and what Sikh teachings have to offer all of us today. This is an essential book for people who care about kindness, justice, and living a good life." --Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada's New Democratic Party "Beautiful, profound, and above all transformative, The Light We Give is a book that will not only stay with you but change you. Through harrowing stories of personal experiences and a rarely seen exploration of the tenets of the Sikh faith, Simran Jeet Singh calls us to have empathy and love and to operate in them. This book couldn't be more timely." --Angie Thomas, author of The Hate U Give "I love this book: The riveting story of Simran Jeet Singh's life growing up as a Sikh kid in San Antonio with his brown skin and turban, written so beautifully, both somehow exciting and humble.

This has a lot to offer." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) " The Light We Give is a refreshing look at how we can connect--and reconnect--with one another. Simran Jeet Singh's moving story of growing up a turban-wearing Sikh American in South Texas draws from wisdom that all of us need as it charts a new way forward." --R.C. Buford, CEO of the San Antonio Spurs "Clever, informative, and very accessible, Singh's first book for adults explores tenets of the Sikh faith and applies them to everyday life...he uses relatable humor and amusing anecdotes to connect with readers about his faith and show them how they, too, can apply it to their lives...Readers will come away from the book wanting to be better themselves and to work for positive change in the world." -- Booklist "An accessible work that combines personal testimony of a fascinating and little-understood ethnic and religious minority in America...A worthwhile and readable introduction to Sikhi and a strong testament to peaceful living." -- Kirkus , STARRED REVIEW "I've appreciated Simran's writing for years now, and I really love this book.
