T. J. Addington Books

Life comes undone for all of us; and when it does, we live with the pain, uncertainty, and questions that come with it. Using a biblical perspective, When Life Comes Undone can help you navigate those times when life is hard and hope is scarce. The book is written out of deep, personal experiences with catastrophic illnesses, and speaks to the question of suffering with the candor and honesty that comes from grappling with pain firsthand. In the midst of pain and suffering, this book will help you: Turn your human scars into divine scars, Understand why bad things happen to God's people, Develop bold faith and understand God's grace and love, Pray boldly, Take life back, Experience the freedom that pain can bring, and see how God takes the pain in our lives and turns it into something good and meaningful. T. J. writes that life undone moments are unlikely gifts that forge deeper faith and a closer relationship with our God. When Life Comes Undone looks at pain and suffering from both a human and divine perspective, and shows how hard times forge God's character in us like nothing else can. It is a book of hope when life looks hopeless.

"There must be a better way," is the quiet conviction of many pastors and church leaders when it comes to how we do leadership in the church today. Too often we see leadership that is accidental rather than intentional, the wrong people in leadership -- or good people without clear direction, and we try to navigate through antiquated church governance structures that impede rather than facilitate High Impact leadership.In this book, T.J. Addington tackles these common issues head-on through High Impact ("HI") thinking in a practical, biblical, and common sense style that church leaders, pastors and lay persons will appreciate. Building upon his years of consulting experiences with churches, and his own lengthy experiences in church leadership, T.J. addresses three High Impact areas every church leader must grapple with: what are healthy leaders, how do you do intentional leadership, how do you develop empowered leadership structures in your church?High Impact Church Boards delivers on its promise to help leadership boards chart a revolutionary path toward healthier, more intentional and empowered leadership through the proprietary High Impact Revolution mindset and High Impact thinking. Your boards will not be the same reading through and grappling with the issues and practices described in this book. Get ready to Join the HI Revolution!

Too much attention is paid to leadership techniques and far too little to the kind of heart and mind from which the best leadership emanates. The path to truly influential leadership is found in the discipline of practices hidden from the public eye that deeply inform our public leadership. Our convictions, our call, our understanding of ourselves and heart commitments are where it all begins. Character, courage, wisdom, integrity, humility, spiritual depth, endurance, perseverance, kindness, and vision all come from a place deep inside our hearts and souls—the hidden interior and recesses of our lives, whose channels lead to deep veins of God’s work and molding.

This book is written out of a passion to help ministry teams in the church, in mission organizations - in all kinds of ministries - develop this kind of High Impact Team for the sake of Christ's Kingdom.
