Building on a string of Haberer family harrowing encounters, Swimming with the Sharks presents a framework for addressing the sharks among us: those on the other side of the divide in American church life. What is characterized as the separation between blue progressives and red conservatives is shown to be a sellout to a political model and a false witness about the facts and faith on the ground. Believers do see things differently but not in simplistic, binary parties--rather in an overlapping set of five understandings of Jesus' heart and passion for God's mission in the world.

Practical implications get spelled out (e.g., less pastor-driven, more member-driven), and then conclude with blunt explications: "Not all church consultants need to be ignored, but many do."And while we still may diverge on hot-button controversies, we do converge and, indeed, take flight through the Holy Spirit's filling, empowering, gifting, calling, and commissioning of every believer in a culture, a movement, a full-spectrum revolution of mutual giftedness in mission.
