信主開始，屬靈生命必經歷學習成長，進而長大成為門徒，建造教會。阿根廷牧師歐迪慈（Juan Carlos Qutiz）和德國的潘霍華（Dietrich Bonhoeffer），以及中國的倪柝聲一樣，對於愛、主權和門徒職分的體驗很深刻，使他能察覺出耶穌的教訓之真義。他牧會時，會友在兩年間由184人增加到600人。從教會增長角度來看，原本是令人羨慕的事，然而他發覺整個教會像一部經過設計、保養良好的機器，當中卻有一些不對勁，他必須相當努力，機器才能正常運作；若他稍有鬆懈，機器運轉也就慢下來了。於是他來到神面前求問神哪裡做錯了，後來神讓他看到問題所在，也逐漸啟示他一些改變的原則，本書即是他在經歷這些改變的心得。歐迪慈談到，每個基督徒都應成長，學習如何讓一個初信者從吃奶到吃乾糧，成為基督身體的一塊磚；進而明白自己是僕人的身分，甘心樂意服事主，成為門徒，時時調整自我，願意接納弟兄姊妹，也接納未信主的人；學習彼此相愛、為人捨己，在基督裡合而為一，使教會的質與量都經歷到真正的「長大成熟」。
