Publisher Description

It's Sunday morning. Where are all the men? Golfing? Playing softball? Watching the tube? Mowing the lawn? Sleeping? One place you won't find them is in church. Less than 40 percent of adults in most churches are men, and 20 to 25 percent of married churchgoing women attend without their husbands. And why are the men who do go to church so bored? Why won't they let God change their hearts? // David Murrow's groundbreaking new book reveals why men are the world's largest unreached people group. With eye-opening research and a persuasive grasp on the facts, Murrow explains the problem and offers hope and encouragement to women, pastors, and men. Why Men Hate Going to Church does not call men back to the church-it calls the church back to men.

"David is passionate about this subject to the point he has a site called churchformen.com. He has done extensive research on the subject and was able to answer numerous questions I've had over the years about men, church and really why do I go. He addresses the subject with practicality and radical thinking that for today's church would be too hard to handle. David helps us to understand a subject that most of us aren't willing to accept, because we rather remain in a pretty world. If you really are interested in understanding the why and interested in making a really difference in men's lives, this is a most read. If not, then go sit in the pew."

    " This book has changed the way I look at corporate church. It has caused me to rethink things to make them more "man friendly." I thnk every wife who gaoes to church alone and every pastor or head of any church ministry should read this book. "

    " Interesting so far, although I disagree with some points, it does also make some very good points.... there is def. a gap in males who attend church from 18-until they have kids... and what are we doing to reach these guys? The comparison of the attributes of Jesus to the list of qualities of Mars/Venus (male/female) was intriguing and that was really something to think about. I am about half way through this book so I can't give a full review yet.. "

    " A great book for anyone that is in church leadership...it is a wake up call that churches are doing a poor job of reaching men. They can and should do a better job of providing environments and atmospheres where men can feel comfortable to come, worship, and grow. "

    " An interesting and humorous look into the mind of the unchurched and dechurched man. Murrow shows how church culture has been shaped to attract women and what a church can do to make their place of worship more man friendly. Practical and insightful. "

    " This book exceeded my expectations. Instead of the usual unsubstantiated psychobabble, this book delivered a lot of insight on both men and the church. It’s the best book on the subject that I’ve read so far. I recommend it to both women and men, especially those in church leadership. "
