Why Men Hate Going to Church

by Chris Cree

Christianity Today just posted a great article about that David Murrow book in my Book Recommendations. The bottom line is most men feel the same way about church as these guys feel about most Church Marketing.

And here’s the grand irony: When our churches finally get a clue and change to become someplace where guys can know it’s OK to be a guy, the women will dig it too. Murrow has the stats to back it up.

Get the book. Read it. Change your church.

Murrow provides the stats to back it up. He provides several examples of churches that have overcome the problem and actually are attracting men and what is happening as a reslult.

Here are the Amazon.com reader reviews if anyone is interested.
