Synopsis

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.

Specifically, it walks through some historical and psychological reasons men don't go to church, and then through some possible solutions. This book is well written, so......more

Goodreads review by Callie

This book was interesting, and I have some mixed feelings. In this book Barrow discusses the things about church that tend to make men shy away, and the book gets 4 stars because he made so many good points. He writes about ways we tend to discourage a masculine spirit in our churches, and how this......more

WOW. great book! and such an eye-opener. i have to say, i think this book may have shifted my perspective on ministry. in my heart i've known that i would eventually father other men, but this book really pointed that out even more and watered the seed in my heart. the idea of the book is simple. me......more
