I’ll wrap up this chapter with a quote from a man who used to torture me once a month. His name was Dr. L. S. McGuffey—my orthodontist. McGuffey hung a plaque in his examination room that read, “Ignore your teeth . . . and they’ll go away.” So it is with men. When churches ignore their men, they soon find themselves without many. Donations, volunteerism, evangelism, and attendance all suffer. But give men a little attention, and they respond. The church grows.
