Why Men Hate Going to Church

This is an updated and revised edition of a book by the same name. I think it is worth updating, because I think that there are new additional factors why men don't want to attend church. In Why Men Hate Going to Church by David Murrow he dives into the question of why there are fewer men attending church these days. In part 1 he talks about "where are the men" and in Part 2 he talks about how the culture has influenced why men don't like church. In Part 3 he discusses what the church can do to bring back men and reengage them in church. Here he discusses how the church can go about attracting and keeping men in the church.

While at times I found it rather stereotypical, I do think that the author has done his homework and this is a very real problem in church culture that needs to be addressed. Because of this, I think this is an excellent book for church leaders to read and understand how many men view church so they can assist them. A healthy church really does have good male role models and the involvement of men, not just in leadership but also as participants in the pews.

I received this book from Thomas Nelson's Booksneeze program in exchange for my honest review. Thank you Booksneeze!
