There is another story on reading the Bible. One day Mar.Crisostam ( marthoma church)was speeking to a public gathering at cochin on Jubily day celiberation of Malayalamanorama,a malayalam daily. He asked all the christians to stop reading Bible and read Malayalamanorama..........People got stunned..then he explained Bible is not for reading it's for studying and news paper is just for reading.

He interviewed three people. The first came in and said, "I want to sell Bibles for you." "OK, you're hired. Here's your kit; go sell!" The second came in and said, "I want to sell Bibles for you." "OK, you're hired! Here's your kit; go sell!" The third came in and said, "I-I-I wa-wa-wa-want t-t-t-t-to s-s-s-s-ell to sell, to sell, to sell, Bi -bi -bi -Bibles, sell Bi-Bibles f-f-f-fo-for y-y-y-y you, Bibles for you!" "No," shouted the man, "this will never work! You can't sell Bibles for me!" The applicant replied, "B-b-b-b-but I r-r-r-eall, but I really, really, n-n-n-n-need th-th-th-this, really need th-this job!" As there were no other applicants, the man said, "OK, I'll give you one shot at this, but I expect you to PRODUCE!" At the end of the day, the first applicant comes back and reports, "I sold 8 Bibles today." The second reports: "I sold 11 Bibles today. The third worker reports, "To-to-to-to t-t-today, I-i-I so-so, I so-, I so-, I so-, I sold 28 Bi-bi-b-Bibles!" "Great," says the man. "However, I want you to sell lots more Bibles than that, so get out there tomorrow and MAKE ME SOME MONEY!" At the end of the first day, the first worker comes in and reports, "Today, I sold 32 Bibles." The second worker reports, "I sold 44 Bibles today." The third worker reports, "To-to-to t-today, I-i-I so so, I so-, I sold 79 Bi-bi-bi- sold 79, sold 79 Bibles." "Fantastic," said the man, "since you're doing so well, so much better than these other two guys, why don't you tell them what your sales technique is." Replied the worker, "I-i-I j-j-j-j-ju-ju-ju-just wa, wa, wa, just wal- wa- wa- walk, just walk up to, up to, up to, just walk up to them and, and ask them, and ask them, and ask if th-th-th-th, ask if they w-w-w-w-w-wa-, ask if they want t-t-t-t-o-o-, if they want to b-b-b-b-b, if they want to buy a Bi-bi -, want to buy a Bi--b--, a - a- a bi -, buy a, to buy a Bi-bi-bible, or d-d-d-d-d do th-th-they do they w-w-w-ant me to ***READ*** it to 'em?" Though the thought of having that third man read the Bible to us seems a little frightening, we are reminded of how important that we all take time to spend time reading God's Word for ourselves.
