Miller's purpose of this book is to answer serious questions concerning our methods of communicating the gospel, our beliefs about personality development, and our ideas concerning growth in the Christian Life. Four questions around which the book is written Why the "personal" stance in communicating the gospel?; What's inside, behind our masks?; What happens in conversion?; What about Christian growth?

The author includes some personal anecdotes and lots of Biblical references but he also uses Freud, William James, and Maslow to make some of his points. Discusses conversion communication.
