Mama's Boy is the story of a single parent grandmother depending on Jesus alone. She took a rejected boy and made out of him a respected man. It's Tom Benjamin's story and you will find yourself in it. It is a must read for every boy/man who loves his Mama and every Mama who loves her boys!

Tom Garrott Benjamin, Jr., is a native of St. Louis, Missouri, and was raised in Cleveland, Ohio, by a single parent grandmother. Since 1969, he has been the Senior Pastor of the historic Light of the World Christian Church in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Dr. Benjamin is both an innovator and a motivator. For five years, his ministry was seen and felt throughout the world through national cable television (TBN, BET and LeSea) and the Armed Forces Television Network. He has preached on almost every continent, and has had speaking engagements and fact-finding tours in Australia, Cuba and Russia. He continues to be a highly sought after preacher and lecturer. He is as comfortable in the pulpit as he is in the classroom. He has the uncanny ability to "walk with kings, and yet not lose the common touch" when it comes to communicating God's Word.

He is host producer of the longest running public affairs television program in Indianapolis, "Living for the City," which airs on an ABC affiliate.

Dr. Benjamin is a graduate of St. Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri, and Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he earned the Master of Divinity and the Doctor of Ministry degrees. He also holds several honorary doctorates.
