    About this ebook

    In her first book, Until Your Prodigal Comes Home: Encouragement Along the Way, Irene Bennett, co-founder with her husband, Stephen, of TheParentsGroup.com, shares biblical truth and the wisdom and insight she has gained through more than fifteen years of compassionate ministry to brokenhearted parents of a child who identifies as homosexual or struggles with same-sex attraction. If that is your childs experience and you want to know, How should I respondwhat can I do? this book offers answers. Irene provides a foundation of Scriptural truth, along with real stories, encouragement from other parents, and practical guidance to help you navigate the challenges you may face while waiting for God to rescue your son or daughter from homosexuality. Her message is that you can respond to your child in a way that is loving and biblical, you can walk in peace and hope, and you can look to the Lord with assurance that complete change is completely possible for your loved onebecause with God, all things are possible!

    Irene Bennett

    Irene Bennett and her husband, Stephen, a former homosexual man, are co-founders of SBM Worldwide, Inc. and TheParentsGroup.com. Together, they offer hope and help to men and women who struggle with unwanted same-sex attraction, as well as one-on-one and group support, biblical resources, encouragement, and hope for parents, spouses, and family members with LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) loved ones. Irene and Stephen have shared their story and ministry through many television and radio media appearances, including most recently appearances on The Eric Metaxas Show, DayStar’s Joni Table Talk, and CBN’s The 700 Club. They also take the message of God’s love and hope for the homosexual through the gospel of Jesus Christ to churches and conferences worldwide. Irene resides in Shelton, Connecticut with Stephen and their two children.
