In the summer of 1995, David Miller decided to leave the corporate
world to go to seminary. He wrote four hundred friends and acquaintances
alerting them of his startling decision. He expected his decision to be
received with scorn and disdain. What he got instead were positive responses.
One summarized well the reaction from the corporate world:
I have worked hard to reach the pinnacle of my profession. I have more money than God, yet I am unfulfilled. My marriage is in shambles, I hardly know my kids, and when I look in the mirror, I wonder where the man went who so idealistically graduated from college 30 years ago and was ready to make his mark on the world. I'd like to talk to my pastor, but he has no clue about my world and the pressures I face. Let me know what you find in seminary. I'd like to talk with you.
