Most recently, Tom published Connected: Rediscovering Life-giving LOVE with God. Tom’s passion is to see the Church authentically live out the loving presence of Jesus and invite everyone to know Jesus as Savior. To this end, he desires to help Christian leaders grow in an intimate relationship of love with God that enables them to flourish as spiritually healthy leaders with the spiritual authority that emerges from their relationship with Jesus. Tom is zealous in his conviction that it is the love of God, His very essence, which transforms us into Christ-likeness and motivates and empowers our love for others.
