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」。
