This book changed my life.
It talks somewhat about why men don't like church, and (to be overly brief) it's because church is too feminine.
Stylistically, this book is awesome, because the first maybe third of the book is written narrative-style. Then the last 2/3 is kind of an exploration of the concepts found in the first third. It's like a sermon in that way - read the passage, then pull it apart and expound.
Basically the concept is that of a spiritual journey. T More...

This book was a difficult one for me. I had some huge problems with Murrow's terminology that made it difficult for me to finish the book, much less write a review of it. I'll highlight some of the problems I had with it, then show the parts I liked. (I'll quickly add that none of my criticism is personally directed at Murrow; rather, my criticisms are of his word choices and arguments.)

David Murrow, known for his books challenging Christian men, has written a new book providing further encouragement to those men. In The Map: The Way of All Great Men, Murrow divides the narrative of our Savior Jesus Christ found in the gospel of Matthew into three separate sections, each section being part of a map which men can emulate. In discussing the portions of Christ’s personality or mission that displayed qualities that we normally associate with femininity as well as the more tradition

Fantastic book! it really made me think and was really revealing!
first, let me address the thing i'd want to know about the most: why all the low ratings for this book? i think there's only one real reason for this: about a third of this book is a novella which serves as a parable for the book's message. i can understand if people who liked Murrow's previous hit, Why Men Hate Going To Church, would balk at this choice. and really, the novella is not too bad, but it's not amazing. you More...

While I didn't agree with his assertions throughout the entire piece, I did find it very intriguing and helpful to me as a man who feels out of place in the church today. I am now curious to go through the Gospel of Matthew and see if The Map is as apparent as Murrow claims it is and see if it is contradicted in any way.
I still find "Why Men Hate Going to Church" to be his best work. I am kind of hoping he'll have a third book that explains how churches can start taking ste More...

By the author of Why men hate going to church) A simple Hebraic code hidden in Matthew? Of three journeys, 1-7, the journey of submission, 8-25 the journey of strength, 26-28 the journey of sacrifice. Many good ideas and relevant suggestions and reminders of biblical truth…but it is inimical to the biblical purpose to hide something so important in a code, etc. Wrong, wrong, wrong….God communicates gospel truth clearly and simply.

This first half of this book is in the format of a thriller. Then Murrow goes on to make a call for action - Christian men who are no longer beginners need more from their church. Murrow calls himself an evangelical Christian, and this is written from that point of view. But there are useful points for any Christian, male or female, who finds something lacking in their spiritual journey.

This was a great way to view how a man's life should follow the "map" of Jesus' life. Would definitely recommend this to others!
