We Refused to Lead a Dying Church! is the answer for thousands of individuals who wanted to see real examples of ordinary pastors and lay leaders who “refuse to lead a dying church.” “Who are they?” “Where are they?” were the questions asked by people who wanted their church to survive. Well, this groundbreaking follow-up to Nixon’s bestseller, I Refuse to Lead a Dying Church! (The Pilgrim Press, 2006) shares the miracles of God’s transformative power in dying churches that decided to choose life!
Nixon shares the stories of 15 churches from the United Church of Christ, United Methodist Church, and Presbyterian Church (USA) that decided giving up was not an option. With hope, determination, and perseverance, these churches are no longer on life support and have experienced a transfusion of the Spirit in their churches. This is a must-read book for anyone who wants their church to experience the blessing of life anew.
