This is the first time in a while that I have read a narrative allegory, and I loved it. The line that hit me the most was, "Every achievement is worthless unless it is a link in the chain of development." This was thought-provoking for me personally because it made me contemplate what I really thought was an achievement. We cannot take any earthly thing with us to Heaven, so all achievements must only be worth something if they further the Kingdom. If they do not further the Kingdom, then their worth is lost in the span of eternity. If we cannot take these achievements with us, then there is no real worth in them because all things in this life will be wiped away to make way for the new Kingdom. For once, I think I actually understood some of the deeper meaning on the first read through.
