"When I lived and worked in Europe, religion was a taboo subject. Here in the Middle East it's the most dominant part of the culture. Wherever I work, from Cairo to Dubai, no matter what company I'm working with, religion is a major theme.
"I've learned to rework my training schedules around the prayer times, and to speak openly about my Christian faith with CEOs and Board Members, who nearly always ask. I used to think that Islam was a backward religion, but I've learned a lot in my years here, and I'm hoping that sharing what I'm learning helps you as much as it helped me.
"This is my first attempt at a book about the Islamic culture and religion. I am writing from the perspective of an immigrant Christian. I want to honour and thank my friends for their influence on me and their encouragement. I'm not a Muslim, but I'm learning from Islam, and I believe that what I'm learning is making me stronger in my own faith. It's my hope that what I offer here helps Muslims and Christians see each other more clearly and respect each other more deeply."view less
