Status report

I'm almost two-thirds of the way through David Murrow's book, Why Men Hate Going to Church. It's a fascinating companion to John Edridge's Wild at Heart. There's a lot to think about. Murrow spends some time wading through statistics to validate his premise that men don't attend church--much less participate in ministry work--as much as women. Though the pastorate may remain a men's club, everything else is dominated by women. I'm currently working through the section of the book that deals with some of the particular things men struggle with in the church.

This book should be required reading for every church leader. And every woman.
