"Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God." - 1 Corinthians 8:1b-3

Book Review: "Why Men Hate Going to Church" by David Murrow
Why Men Hate Going to Church (2005) by David Murrow This is one of those books that I think I will try to go
back and read once every 5 years or so because it addresses things so
ingrained within the Christian culture, and therefore within my psyche,
that it will require repeated exposure and reminders to work them out of
my general interactions. Having said all of that, there are things
within this book that I highly disagree with; the book is very
reactionary (although the author repeats over and over that this
reactionary position should never be maintained by anyone) and therefore
tends to be extremist in nature. However, if the reader is careful to
recognize those things which are reactionarily extreme and those which
are biblically sound, this book will prove to be extremely helpful in
the personal development of any Christian and corporate development of
any church.
