From the Paper:

"In the first chapter of John Piper's recent book 'Don't Waste Your Life', Piper remembers his childhood and early life and the signs and messages he received that he later realized were pointing him on the path towards the clergy. Some of the signs were obvious and directly relevant to church life, but others were more subtle, like those found in the words of popular music and what seemed to be random coincidence. From his experiences described in this chapter, the reader can also learn to see patters in his or her life, to find the experiences that have shone light on the path that they are following, leading them to their calling as a church leader."
