Human Communication and Its Effect

I have seen too many leisure and not so many effective communications between one another, especially between love ones. I believe that there is a need to learn how to communicate more effectively and learn the communication barriers that block good communication. There are skills for effective communication and everyone should know what they are. There is a need to listen to what others have to say; learn not to interrupt when someone is talking; and don’t do all the taking, not giving the other a chance to respond. Before you can respond back, you must be able to correctly interpret the message that was sent to you. Listen so that you can understand the sender. The author is trying to save some marriages and family relationships. We sometimes seem empty, unsure, without a clear vision, or a strong purpose. We stumble against the darkness of broken promises and forgotten dreams. We ache for closeness and fear it at the same time. We yearn to have a friend who will stay with us a little longer than the last one, or for someone who will know us and find us beautiful. We struggle to say the right words, or enough words, and wonder if anyone has heard us. We wrestle with our feelings, unsure of their names and even less sure of their meaning. In our darkness, we look for someone to hover over our barren lives and see there’s a potential for intimacy. We wait for breath; we listen for a word. Just as in the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth; “Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, and God’s spirit hovered over the waters.” (Genesis 1:1-2) Creation is a continuous process. Breathing, hovering, and speaking – these are real life experiences needed in all ages. The invitation to participate in and continue the communication process we call creation, was extended to all people as part of the entire creative act. The purpose of writing this book is so readers can “identify” and “explore” the elements of effective communication and to practice communicating effectively. Because communication is essential to everything we do with people, persons who communicate effectively get things done! Also, we will point out and study: Excommunication, skills for effective communication, defensive communication, active listening and techniques for active listening, and communication barriers.
