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.

From AudioFile:

Erik Synnestvedt clearly delivers the author's cutting-edge work about why men dislike going to church. He matches voice to mood when Murrow discusses his belief that most churches today are female dominated, although led by males. Murrow believes churches cater to women when they should instead "embrace the masculine spirit." Synnestvedt perfectly renders the author's mandate: Mentor men; encourage them to make male friends, assume leadership roles, and show strength. Synnestvedt vividly describes why the author calls church today "velvet coffin Christianity." He recounts what Murrow calls "churches' spiritual thermostats": confrontation, challenge, comfort, conformity, control, and ceremony. Jesus authorized only the first three. Murrow does not call men back to church, but "calls church back to men." G.D.W. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
