“To many people, the mention of the blood of Christ is distasteful. However, on [a] visit to Mayo Clinic I noticed that at each reception desk there were pamphlets entitled A Gift of Life, urging people to donate blood.

realizes with gratitude the life-giving property of blood

The invention of the printing press changed all that, however, and today the Bible is readily available in multiple translations and hundreds of languages around the world.”
