Despite the societal push for gender blurring, this book
presents a rather black and white picture of the male mind and heart vs the
female mind and heart. David Murrow has after all, only the male mind and heart
by experience, but I am a female, and consequently the book brought this
contrast to me as Murrow’s painstaking honesty about what was going on inside
gave me a window through which to view it.
Males, he asserts have fears that are often unspoken. These
fears drive the behavior of most men. By stating them, Murrow tears down the
formidable wall that often separates men from their wives. His goal isn’t division,
but rather understanding. There’s a bit of pop psychology thrown in for good
measure, and virtually no scripture, although Murrow is at
the forefront of the movement The Church For Men. Picture a mechanic-style
preacher, and you will have pegged Murrow, practical and tool
oriented-no platitudes. It’s what you should expect for the author of Why Men
Hate Going To Church. He puts is all on the table. I found it refreshing.
I received a
complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House in return for my
honest opinion of it.
