Stories from the Street
Stories from the Street is a theological exploration of interviews with men and women who had experienced homelessness at some stage in their lives. Framed within a theology of story and a theology of liberation, Nixon suggests that story is not only a vehicle for creating human transformation but it is one of God's chosen means of effecting change. Short biographies of twelve characters are examined under themes including: crises in health and relationships, self-harm and suicide, anger and pain, God and the Bible. Expanding the existing literature of contextual theology, this book provides an alternative focus to a church-shaped mission by advocating with, and for, a very marginal group; s...
What Does God Think About Brexit?
This book is a theological reflection about the process and event of Brexit: Britain’s departure from the European Union. Within a framework of liberation and postmodern theology, it examines Brexit against a history of the EU, with themes of community, identity, marriage, and divorce. It considers the emotional reactions which have been generated, and places Brexit in the context of contemporary populism and the politics of the United States. The book concludes with a call for reconciliation via new imaginaries of solidarity and inclusion.
Dancing with the Impossible
If you are willing to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless, you just might hear God say, “You can do something about that!” David F. Nixon, a church leader and passionate Gospel preacher for over four decades, urges the readers of this book to start doing instead of dreaming. He emphasizes that bystanders watch change happen; participants make it happen. Fortunately, for believers, God specializes in the impossible—and we get to be on His team. Find out how faith, obedience, and a willingness to act can help you: Assist those who are less fortunate; Change the world with seemingly small acts of kindness; Be a better parent to your children; Appreciate the value and significance of mission work. Throughout the book, the author shares his own experience as a missionary, explaining how he’s lived life to the fullest by putting on his dance shoes—the Gospel of peace--and clothing himself with his Jesus jersey— compassion—and doing the next right thing.
Walking the Leadership Higher Ground
"It was an awesome responsibility you signed up for when you said yes to God and became a leader," says David Nixon in Walking the Leadership Higher Ground. "The role of the leader is a very high calling. Skills that enhance our gifts and abilities should be learned and used." Some people claim that leaders are born and that signs of leadership assert themselves early in life. But leadership is an acquired trait forged in the battles (successes and failures) of life. Spiritual leaders are not perfect; they pursue the will of God clothed in the flesh like everyone else. Authentic leadership is about being your best self-the person God created you to be. Walking the leadership higher ground invites you to pursue God's highest and best, and lead others to follow it. Once you have seen and heard God's vision, that vision must be communicated. The task of the leader is to encourage others to follow it. If no one follows and you think you are leading, you are probably only taking a hike.
Forward on Our Knees
When God has a message to give us in a time of crisis, He's been known to awaken those who are accustomed to listening, at some of the most inopportune moments. When obedience is our "default setting," it shouldn't surprise us when God makes a 2:00 a.m. wake up call. It happened to me. The Spirit whispered, "David, the only way your church is going to move forward is on its knees in prayer." I fell back to sleep for a while longer, but the message was unmistakably clear. Forward on our knees became a prayer mandate for a church in crisis, but in the years since, I've come to see that prayer is the way forward. In this book, you'll discover tactics to engage when crisis comes. David F. Nixon ...
