In Why Men Hate
Going to Church, David Murrow exposed the truth to the gender gaps in
churches around the world. Men are rapidly disappearing from the congregation.
Men have decided to do different things on Sunday. Women have become the main
people running and going to church. Men are leaving churches because they have
fear losing their masculinity. Many churches are using feminine language to
describe a personal relationship with Christ. Murrow feels like men associate
the word relationship with male and female. Some men will get turned off by
thinking about being close to another man. Hugging and hand holding also seem
to scare some new visitors away. Dress codes are a big problem in the church everyone
is expected to dress in their Sunday best in many churches.
David Murrow gives pastors, women, and men advice to draw
men back into the church. Churches must keep messages real with examples of everyday
life. Challenge men to become their very best they can be. Young men need to
move around and take risks. We have to teach the messages with more adventure.
Young men tend to not enjoy reading aloud and we don't need to force them to do
so. We also need male teachers teaching young men. Women are needed for
teaching young women. We need the same gender role models especially when we are
younger. Murrow believes that churches need to work on changing the trend. We
have to bring men back to the churches.
I would recommend this book to pastors, deacons, men, and
women. Everyone can benefit from bring men back into the church. We need both
genders to reach and spread the Gospel of Christ. I have personally seen young
men and older men leave the church. It's always been a mystery to me as to why
some men just disappear and they never attend church again. Sometimes it's not
because they don't believe in God. They just can't get into going to church for
a variety of reasons. This book will help readers understand where all the men
are going. It will guide churches into how to bring back the men and how to
keep them. David Murrow has revised and updated Why Men Hate Going to Church. It is completely up to date with the
latest finding in data about men leaving the church. It is a worthwhile read if
you are curious about how to get more men into your churches!
