Description
John Wilkinson's business brought him to places where attending Sunday mass was unlikely. Living and working in Oman, John observed that Muslims, like Christians and Jews, shared a fundamental belief in one God. He wondered what other traditions the three religions shared, but avoided the pitfalls of religious discussions. His friend and mentor, Sultan, provided an opening when he referred to the Bible's King David as Prophet David. Over several sessions, Sultan relates the stories of all the named prophets, beginning with his fascinating account of Prophet Adam. John and his visiting security chief, an American Jew, learn that Islam was founded in Judaism and Christianity, and that each prophet echoed the same message: There is one God; worship and obey Him. Most importantly, they learn that the same heart beats at the center of these three great religions. Their realization reawakens their spirituality and restores their hope for humanity. This book is third in a series involving John Wilkinson and Sultan, his mentor in the rich culture and traditions of the Arabian Gulf. Other titles include A Cup of Coffee: A Westerner's Guide to Business Culture in the Gulf States and Workplace Emotions: Emotional Intelligence in Bahraini Management.
