—Reformed Review
Leading in Worship is the sort of book pastors can mine for reforming and enriching the worship of a local congregation. It can be studied by worship committees, or just taken into the pulpit to use parts of it as it stands. The book is generously endnoted, with a bibliography and index, providing documentation and more detailed argumentation for those who want to look deeper.

An unusual blending of resource materials, basic liturgical theology, and careful biblical and historical research, all within the framework of a variety of worship services in and to which he addresses counsel and instruction that are well balanced, informed, and doubtlessly to be discovered viable.
