Tom is a Deacon at his local church in Lansing, Michigan. He and his wife Karen also lead an African Ministry in the Korogocho Slum of Nairobi, Kenya. Tom has always written poetry but until the fall of 2012 has never shared his work with anyone else. He felt God was leading him to publish his poems and share his inner most feelings. In this book of poetry Tom bares his soul about his personal life and his walk with God. He also shares personal stories related to the poems. The poems are his personal testimony.
