The COVID-19 pandemic renewed speculation of the Church’s demise, and the wake of global catastrophe heightened clergy burnout. Still, Paul Nixon holds onto fierce hope that life and resurrection are choices the Church and its leaders can still make.
With new material for the post-quarantine era and an and an included discussion guide, the second edition of I Refuse to Lead a Dying Church! provides excellent stimulation for faith leaders to commit to six critical choices:
choosing life over death;
choosing community over isolation;
choosing fun over drudgery;
choosing bold over mild;
choosing frontier over fortress;
and choosing now rather than later.
