We Refused to Lead a Dying Church!: Churches that Came Back Against All Odds
– by Paul Nixon
In this book Paul Nixon tells the stories of several churches that have “made it” and have reinvented themselves to have a new/transformed life. The stories of these congregations are inspirational. There are reasons why some congregations are able to renew their ministries while others are dying. How the church is led matters, how the church handles or responds to conflict is significant, a congregations devotion to its property is in play, and a dramatic moment in the life of a congregation can have the spark to potentially move that congregation. The book is a good conversation starter for what might be imagined and brought to life in “my” church.
