Every year at the Ligonier National Conference we discover at least one new speaker/author that we had never heard of or didn’t truly appreciate. One year it was the electrifying discovery of John Piper. This year it was D. A. Carson. I had at least heard of John Piper before Ligonier, but I admit that I had not run across Carson in any memorable way before this March. We were blown away by his talks at the conference and I am now reading How Long, O Lord: Reflections on Evil and Suffering and loving it.
