Press Release: Where Are All The Men?

AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR VISITS LOCAL CHURCH TO REVEAL THE REASONS WHY MEN HATE GOING TO CHURCH

Peoria, AZ –Women comprise more than 60% of the adults in the typical worship service. Volunteer ranks are heavily female. It's often impossible to get church-going men to do anything other than attend services. No other religion suffers the enormous gender gaps that plague Christianity.

In his book, Why Men Hate Going to Church, David Murrow focuses on this very topic. Using 100 sources from the Bible to Gallup polls, Murrow challenges the thinking of today’s church. Why Men Hate Going to Church does not call men back to church…it calls the church back to men.

Murrow is encouraging the church to change and will discuss how American churches can revolutionize the world. Pastors, members and church skeptics alike will learn something new when Murrow speaks live at Christ's Church of the Valley on the weekend of August 29-30.

David Murrow is the author of two books, Why Men Hate Going to Church, published in 2004, and How Women Help Men Find God, published last year. Murrow has produced and written award-winning television documentaries, commercials and specials, including material for the Discovery Channel, Food Network, NBC, ABC, Dr. Phil, and the Travel Channel. Most recently, Murrow became Sarah Palin’s Director of Communications. As an elder in the Presbyterian Church (USA), he lives in Anchorage, Alaska, with his wife and three children.
