We rarely consider our church life as an aquarium. We see it as a gathering of people and we work hard to enjoy those gatherings and see them as successful.

Sometimes in American culture, we have allowed that word successful to relate to how many fish are in the aquarium and the beauty of the appearance. But is living in the aquarium, no matter how comfortable, really what God has called us to do?

Might we be trading wild ocean living (metaphorically speaking) for the plastic plants and recycled water of an aquarium existence?

With this short, compelling, and provocative tale, Doug Dees presents a biblical approach to spiritual formation and making disciples, while challenging the common church model he himself has been involved with for many years of ministry.

This book is your invitation to move outside the glass and truly experience the freedom in Christ, the call of Christ, and the commitment to Christ as you live life with other “fish,” inviting them to experience the joy and fulfillment in life you have found.
