It was a little off in some places. For example, in a lot of places the book is only applicable to a minority of the male population, and I also have some hesitancy about arm wrestling in children's church. Those are minor issues, though.<BR/><BR/>The main point is that most of the subtle stuff in church is overwhelmingly feminine. From the passive/agressive way things have to get done, to Sunday morning attire, to the whole praise and worship experience.<BR/><BR/>I am very glad that you got a chance to read this one because you and Nick were the ones I thought of when I read the book. Very useful to anyone who wants to influence their church to be more than women and the elderly.Drewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327335102107510873.post-64943709376049434412009-01-08T21:20:00.000-06:002009-01-08T21:20:00.000-06:00dude, couldn't agree more. after skimming through the book, talking with some guys who do men's ministry about this and knowing the subject matter,we too often feminize the Christian faith and its expressions. Now I don't know if I'm going to lead a chorus of "Onward Christian Soldiers," but certainly having a more "macho" service is a good thing, after all women watch football, but guys don't widely watch soaps.<BR/><BR/>Men as Christian leaders in the home are absolutely the way to change the tide from high school Christians to college heathens.Michael Handlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05596101414796971515noreply@blogger.com
