Can a Christian Learn from Ramadan?

What can Christians learn from Muslims during Ramadan?

Is there wisdom that can be obtained from the 30-day fast – one of Islam’s five Pillars?

Yvonne Davis, President and CEO of Davis Communications asks this question in today’s edition of the Huffington Post.

She comes up with some positive answers and practical implication.

Part of her answer came from making visits to the Emirates.
