MAITLAND, FL— Jay Crouse’s new book, Men
and the Church: Is There a Future? ($16.99, paperback, 9781628396638; $8.99,
e-book, 9781628396645) provides a poignant view of the
dramatic impact of a decades-long message of benign neglect communicated by
mainline denominational churches toward both men in the pews of their local
churches, and to the unchurched, lost men in their communities. The author
points out the alarming rate of decline in church membership over recent
decades—especially in men. Crouse presents readers a course of action on how to
resolve this ever-increasing issue in the body of Christ.
“For decades, the local church has neglected the greatest, untapped human spiritual resource before them: men!” states the author. “The renewal of the church in the 21st century will only take place when men in the church are equipped to reach the unchurched man. Men and the Church: Is There a Future? leads the way to this renewed, local church future.”
Jay Crouse has been actively involved in ministry to men for over twenty-five years and participating full-time since leaving the private sector in 1999. His ministry to men journey began in the Episcopal Diocese of SW Florida and has expanded nationally and to the church at large. Jay and his wife, Laura, live in Sarasota, Florida and attend Church of the Redeemer. They have four adult sons.
