Helping ordinary people walk closely with an extraordinary God

Tom Holden writes to help ordinary people walk closely with an extraordinary God. His books blend Scripture, practical guidance, and real-life stories to help readers form durable habits, find courage in hard seasons, and notice God’s presence in everyday moments.

Over the years Tom has served couples and families through teaching and mentoring. After losing his first wife, Bev, he learned firsthand how daily practices of prayer, Scripture, and surrender can sustain a soul. Today, Tom and his wife, Kathleen, enjoy their blended family and growing crew of grandkids while building Fortified Press to encourage others in Christ.

Recent works include Fortified Faith, Holy Habits, Rugged Faith, and the Practicing God’s Presence series (Devotional & Journal) inspired by Brother Lawrence. When he’s not writing, Tom speaks at churches and events and shares practical resources online.
