David Murrow is an ordinary guy who began looking for answers as to why so many guys hated going to church. His research culminated in a book published in 2005 by Thomas Nelson, Why Men Hate Going To Church. In it he provides insights to why men struggle with church attendance and provides solutions to win them back. "When Peter saw this, he said to them: 'Men of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?" Acts 3:12 (NIV)
"If the idea of walking with Jesus doesn't make you uncomfortable, you haven't thought seriously enough about His presence in your life," writes Chip Ingram. His book, Holy Ambition, will help you think seriously about your walk with Christ. Drawing upon the life of Nehemiah, Ingram reveals the six conditions for developing a holy ambition.
David Murrow observes that in many churches men are viewed as an attractive accessory; nice, but not necessary to fulfill its mission. Churches are often geared towards meeting the needs of women, while ignoring the needs of men. In Why Men Hate Going To Church, Murrow argues for a new paradigm to call the church back to men. If it wants to attract men, the church must speak a language that men understand. His book, which has received broad national attention from both the secular and religious press, provides several chapters of suggestions to help church leaders restore a masculine spirit in their church.
