Acts of Faith is the 1985 novel written by Rajiva Wijesinha.

The book is the first in a trilogy that was followed by Days of Despair in 1987 and concludes with 2005's The Limits of Love.

By Using the 1983 race riots in Sri Lanka as a background, Acts of Faith explores social and political issues which characterize Sri Lanka and other Asian nations.

The book provides a satirical critique of observed state-incited violence, manipulation of the media, caste and class rivalries.

At the same time, underneath the racy humour there is a close attention to personal motivations, particularly in terms of the family structures that dominate such societies.
