"Things I Wish Jesus Said" extends an invitation to reasoned thought and conversation for those interested in theological clarity around many commonly held Christian beliefs and the language used to express them. Nixon offers nine thought-provoking chapters, each stating something she wishes Jesus said. These include: "Don't believe everything you read:" "God does not have a plan for your life;" "Don't expect a miracle;" "Violence will never bring peace;" "I didn't come to save you;" and four other challenging statements, each designed to examine carefully how Christians express their beliefs, while encouraging readers to clarify their own beliefs in their own words. Questions at the end of each chapter make this a great read for discussion groups.
