The Map by David Murrow


The Map is really two books in one. The first 99 pages is an adventure story designed to capture your interest about finding the mysterious map. The story takes one man’s adventure in his attempt to find the map. He demonstrates that all great men have taken a similar spiritual journey. The second part of the book describes the three journeys need to travel and come to the end of the map.

The book is really a self help book for men, women beware this book may be of little interest to you. The adventure story was a quick read. I can see how it would help some men put them in a better mindset to read the last half. The adventure is really designed to trigger more of a person’s thought process an attempt to raise questions about one’s faith. My preference was the second part of the book that got into the meat of the reason why Murrow really wrote the book in the first place. The journey Murrow describes is based on the scripture according to Matthew found in the New Testament. His discovery, though not really new, was well written for most lay people to understand. My only word of warning would be read his other book “Why Men Hate Going to Church?” first. This will provide a better background around the purpose and why “The MAP” was written. When it comes to church most men need all the help they can get. This book is one method to help men search for their faith and spiritual development. The book obviously does not have all the answers but it does provide good suggestions of what men could do to. A must for men who are church goes or needing to understand why religion should be an important part of your life.
