David Murrow is the director of Church for Men, an organization dedicated to restoring a healthy, life-giving, masculine spirit in the local church. His groundbreaking book, Why Men Hate Going to Church, was published in 2005 and since then has been hailed as a must-read for families and pastors.
Concerned over the lack of men in church, Murrow began searching for books to explain the phenomenon. Finding none, Murrow did research on men and church attendance, religious experience, and gender-specific behavior. What he discovered alarmed him and compelled him to bring the issue into public discourse. A Presbyterian elder, Murrow found that the church has become a hostile environment to men, particularly "masculine men" who are uncomfortable in the feminized atmosphere of the typical church. Murrow's purpose, he says, is not to call men back to church but to call the church back to men.
Mr. Murrow has worked in the field of writing and production for more than 20 years. He has written and produced television documentaries, commercials, and specials for the Discovery Channel, NBC, ABC, Food Network, Travel Channel, Dr. Phil, and many others. He founded Murrow Media, Inc., in 1987 and resides in Anchorage, Alaska, with his wife and three children.
