The book (written for seekers and the new Christian with trailing questions) thoroughly teaches who Jesus Christ is, while pin-pointing the beliefs of the Christian faith in the process. The book takes a unique approach to the subject, designed to stimulate the reader to want to know more as each page is turned. 

God is explained by letting Him explain Himself from Scripture—one attribute at a time—slowly building each piece of the puzzle, until the full picture is understood. Each new topic, every new word, is carefully explained in a sequential manner. If a new term cannot be explained at the time it is introduced, it is put into italics, with a promise to come back to it as quickly as possible. 

The author asks some bold questions: Why did God decide to talk to us through a Book when not everyone in the world can read? Why did Jesus have to come to earth to die? Why couldn't God have just declared everyone saved and save Jesus a lot of trouble? Why does God only save some, and not everyone? In that context, is God fair? Is it our fault we were born in sin? Could Jesus have sinned—if  He was also divine? If Jesus was really God, why did they kill Him? Why did God have to do it all for us, for free, without some help from us? What was in it for Him? Why is Jesus Christ the only way to Heaven, didn't other great men give their lives for us in and during the great wars for freedom?  Why is church necessary? Baptism? Tithing? Why are good works useless before salvation, and valuable after salvation? Are there other "contradictions" in the Bible, like that? Are the Christian's responsibility before and after accepting Jesus different also?

The author is especially sensitive to the current trend of presenting the "Good News" from the pulpit, with a virtual absence of the very bad news of sin-debt. Can anyone fully appreciate the good news apart from the bad news in context?  A major effort is made throughout the book to balance this off by fully covering the bad news first (with constant hints at the good news) before the good news is finally presented in fulfillment of the anticipation hopefully built up. 

Dr. James De Jong, summarizes the book as follows:

"(Dr. Plekker) takes us back to the Bible to learn the basics in a methodical, well illustrated introduction of fundamental Christian teachings. He tells the story of God's redemption in Christ in plain language. He challenges us to understand who Jesus is and what God expects of us in response. If you are looking for a readable, yet reliable, statement of the Christian faith, I commend this book to you . . . learn its terms well, search the Scriptures presented here, and learn how great God is and how wonderful his love is for us in Jesus Christ."
