There are very few books today that talk openly about this topic, because it is seen as taboo. He states that by investing in students now, while some will turn away from ministry, others will run toward God because, allowing students to “invest in eternity” (Fields 210). Many people don't believe in spiritual rewards in heaven because they haven't read the Bible, their pastor never talks about it, or they haven't studied the Scriptures enough to understand the Bible's intended meaning. In the parable of the talents in Matthew 24:14-30, there is little to no evidence that this passage is talking about anything other than spiritual rewards in heaven. While Fields doesn't delve into this, I liked that he mentioned it, because it shows that he has done his research, allowing his readers to understand the great impact it will have on the lives of the students they are studying.
