Advice to Christian geography professors

Abstract

One should always be careful about giving advice: whether, when, how and what. This is especially the case if the advice is unsolicited. “Now, let me give you some advice”, is generally an unpropitious opening to a conversation. But even when advice is invited, one should tread cautiously. In this instance, I was invited by the editor-in-chief of the Christian Scholar’s Review to write this essay, which gives me some sort of mandate for what follows. And, if you are reading this, it is not unreasonable of me to think that you are looking for advice. (The title rather gives it away). But if not, then please read no further; it may benefit neither you nor me.
