    This is a book not satisfied with just going for the surface answers. The subject is presented without bashing women or men; and reassures us that both really have a heart for Jesus. With this pointed out many reasons are then addressed; including the cultural influences that men face. He also shows that there truly is a difference between what men and what women need in the church and that the church needs both to flourish. Most women needing the LAMB of God; gentle, nurturing, compassionate, forgiving. And most men saying, "Where is the LION of Judah?" Fierce, going into ACTION; being a Warrior to bring justice; protecting the women and children; producing results.! Its a call to action and remembrance that Jesus is both. When we allow this balance to return ; so will some of the men who have become bored with Church and could find no place place for themselves in it.

    As a woman reading this book, I was astounded by the sheer numbers of men absent from church. Several statements in the book grabbed my attention as truth. " There are two kinds of people in the church; the pillars and the caterpillars. the pillars uphold the church with their prayers; their work and their donations. they build the kingdom of God by the sweat of their brows. The caterpillars crawl in Sunday morning, sing a few songs, listen to a sermon and crawl out again , not to be seen for a week." Because some many of the pillars of the church are women, " imagine the chaos if every woman took Sunday off?". Who do I recommend read this book? Any person who is serious about helping men find their places and maintain what God has given them. Men and women working together; side by side for the gospel of Jesus; no one left out. Men could also benefit from reading this book to see some of the "invisible" influences that have been affecting them. The last 2 chapters gives action ideas to do something with what has been learned.

    I've started re-reading parts of this book because it's fun to read -- and deeply meaningful, too. The author gives practical insights and ideas, and is an excellent writer.

    This book was selected for my book club to read. It's informative and provides clear, honest perspective on why men are not in the church and how to reverse the trend in your own congregation.

    David Murrow's book offers staggering statistics and a broad understanding of, "Why Men Hate Going to Church". He compares the church to Jesus' ministry on earth and pinpoints common misconceptions that lead to spiritual miscarriages. The bottom line: the success of a church depends on it's ability to engage men. Murrow begins his book with an eclectic view of data gained over a large portion of time; he gives an overview of church history to reveal that the decline of men in the pews is not a new phenomenon. This fact enabled him to find and connect the dots in order to define the real problem.

    When I started reading his book I was skeptical but by the time I finished I could not stop talking about it. Just ask my wife, and the friend we had over for dinner, who politely listen to me rant about it. By the time the evening was over our friend had the book tucked safely under his arm as he walked out the door.

    "Why Men Hate Going to Church" is not only a challenge to churches but a strategic battle plan for those intent on seeing their church grow. Murrow carefully examined and diagnosed modern issues to resolve an age-old problem. This book is an advocate for men all over the world. It is relevant, riveting and rewarding; unrivaled by any book of it's kind on the market. If you don't have one, get one. Underline it, highlight it and refer to it; go through it with your church staff, follow the biblically sound advice and watch your church burst at the seems with men who are passionate and involved in your ministry.

    This is an extremely insightful book. I was skeptical, but a friend recommended it to me. I am a slow reader, but read it in just over a day. I want to read it again with a pad of paper nearby. While I don't agree with all of his conclusions, the exercise of reading the book and running it through the grid of my mind was very helpful, and answered lots of questions about why I respond as I do to some things that go on in my church and others. It made me view "how we do things at my church" in a totally new light. Highly recommended. (I bought one book, read it, then went back and ordered a couple more.) His companion book "The Map" is also engaging, written in a different format.
