The B-I-B-L-E…yes that’s the book for me….
You sang it didn’t you?
When Guttenberg invented the printing press, why do you think he chose the Bible as the first book to be printed? Maybe it was because it was the most important form of literature to people at that time. How the Bible was actually hand written and preserved before actual printing is very interesting.
Read this “The Pre-Reformation History of the Bible” to understand more about the Bible BEFORE Guttenberg’s printing. What does the Bible teach us about communication? I find many things that help me to better understand my fellow man and how I should treat them. Most of you know the saying “Treat others the way you want to be treated”, this is a Bible verse (Matthew 7:12). I often see people get confused with this saying. They think that how others treat us is how we should treat them. Not true. We need to treat others how WE want to be treated. We need to remember this in all areas of our life, personal and professional. How do you want to be treated? With respect? With truth? With professionalism? With love? Then you need to treat others with respect, you need to tell the truth, you need to be professional, you need to love. It’s simple. The Bible is full of perfect instructions on how we should live as a human being. Let me leave you with one more bible verse:
2 Corinthians 4:17 - 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
