My new book arrived today, John Piper and D. A. Carson, The Pastor as Scholar and the Scholar as Pastor: Reflections on Life and Ministry. Edited by Owen Strachan and David Mathis (Wheaton: Crossway, 2011).
After finishing up his theological degree at Fuller Theological Seminary, John Piper was wondering what he should do with his life. He wrote:
But what to do with my life? The advice I got was, if you have the energy and a wife who’s willing, go ahead and get your final degree (a doctorate), and then all the doors will be open to you. So, after I was rejected at Princeton and accepted by Leonhard Goppelt at the University of Munich, we headed for Germany in July 1971. (pp. 40-41)
At this moment, this piece of advice sounds good in my head.
