Kevin Adams writes with great richness, passion, and verve. Above all, he writes with enormous Christian wisdom. Every Christian worshiper should read this book.
Cornelius Plantinga
Former president, Calvin Theological Seminary, Author of Not the Way Its Supposed to Be
Kevin Adams has written a gem of a book: one that renewed my love of the church, increased my respect for its imperfect-but-dedicated leaders, and bolstered my confidence in our ability to worship together across lines of significant difference. I laughed, winced in recognition, or nodded my head in agreement on every page. The Gospel in a Handshake should be required readingnot only for worship teams and pastors, but also the congregations that they serve.
Melanie C. Ross
Associate Professor of Liturgical Studies, Yale Divinity School
Kevin Adams is a veteran participant, observer, and professor of worship. If you find yourself desiring a fresh vision for worship and are kicking the tires of liturgy, sacrament, and the church calendar, you will find The Gospel in a Handshake a winning and winsome guide.
Todd Hunter
Founding bishop, The Diocese of Churches for the Sake of Others
Kevin Adams wisdom is dispersed in these short but sweet letters to worship ministry leaders, both young and old alike. He brings encouragement, knowledge, and hope with a perfect balance of theology and pastoral advice in this book.
Angie Hong
Worship leader, speaker, writer, urban liturgist
Kevin Adams is a master carpenter when it comes to the use of framing words to help strengthen the worship life of any church.... The Gospel in a Handshake is a rich resource that will help build up a church and provide counsel to those called to lead and guide the worship mission ministry of the church.
Jul Medenblik
President, Calvin Theological Seminary
Worship is a public actit is a corporate response to the public truth that Jesus is Lord. But many elements of Christian worship will seem strange to the new believer or those curious about Jesus. With clear wisdom and conversational warmth, Adams helps Christians understand and explain how worship is itself a way that we bear witness to the kingdom of God in the world around us.

Associate Senior Pastor, New Life Church Author of Blessed Broken Given: How Your Story Becomes Sacred in the Hands of Jesus
Worship and Witness
The Worship and Witness series seeks to foster a rich, interdisciplinary conversation on the theology and practice of public worship, a conversation that will be integrative and expansive. Integrative, in that scholars and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines and ecclesial contexts will contribute studies that engage church and academy. Expansive, in that the series will engage voices from the global church and foreground crucial areas of inquiry for the vitality of public worship in the twenty-first century.
The Worship and Witness series demonstrates and cultivates the interaction of topics in worship studies with a range of crucial questions, topics, and insights drawn from other fields. These include the traditional disciplines of theology, history, and pastoral ministryas well as cultural studies, political theology, spirituality, and music and the arts. The series focus will thus bridge church worship practices and the vital witness these practices nourish.
We are pleased that you have chosen to join us in this conversation, and we look forward to sharing this learning journey with you.

To the good people of Granite Springs Church: I am so grateful to belong to a congregation that loves and lives grace. Every day you invite people to bring their faith and doubt and to deepen their belief. Thanks for exploring together the art of framing worship for mission and for your patience along the way. You teach me about faith every day.
I rejoiced with those who said to me,Let us go to the house of the Lord .
Psalm :
By Richard J. Mouw
T his is a marvelous book!
The emergence of the worship leader has been one of the significant liturgical developments of the past few decades. I see this as a good thing, and so does Kevin Adams. He wrote this fine book to provide counsel to those who are providing important leadership in worship.
We have always had various kinds of worship leaders in churches, of course. The congregations that my father served as a pastor could only support one ordained minister, but there were typically several up front persons giving leadership in our worship services. The organist. The choir director. And in our kinds of services, every Sunday evening there was the song leader.
So, yes, in one sense there is nothing new about the role of worship leader. What distinguishes the present task of worship leader, however, is that persons relationship to yet another fairly recent innovation: the worship team. And this team factor is significant, because it is linked to the widespread practice these days of worship planning . When I preach in a church with a worship team I typically am given a play-by-play sheet with projected time for each element of the service: Welcome, one minute; opening prayer, one minute; three songs, eleven minutes; and so on (including the clear signal that they will be watching to see how long I preach!).
Furthermore, the planning group has obviously reflected together about the integration of the various elements of the service. There is an effort made at a kind of thematic unity. This contrasts with the worship service of my youth. My dad was shocked one Sunday morning when the organist, who also did Saturday night gigs at the local skating rink (Hammond organs in both venues) played the tune to Drink to me only with thine eyes, and Ill not ask for wine, during the passing out of the communion elements. And our hymn sing leader, after asking for favorites from the congregation, would then instruct us to sing the first, second, and fourth verses. Think of what it is like to go to verse four of A Mighty Fortress when you have skipped the previous verse.
