Look at the proportions in certain professions, for example, 56 % of unskilled construction workers cannot read. If we take Jesus' mission to bring the good news to all people seriously, then we can't expect non-readers to start reading. That's why telling Bible stories is so important to me. More about this in my training courses at Training.
People no longer read!
The German book trade lost around a quarter of its customers from 2011-2021. Fewer and fewer people are reading books. With around 83 million people in 2021, less than one in three bought a book. Anyone who reads a book in Germany is in the minority simply because of their reading habits. Incidentally, even if we assume that all digital book buyers have not bought a printed book, book readers in Germany remain in the minority. That's why the world of orality and storytelling is so important to me.
