Where Does a Mother go to Resign?
Guest Author - Diana Pederson

Barbara Johnson. Where Does a Mother go to Resign? Bethany House. New edition: 2004.K

Written 25 years ago, Barbara Johnson used a false name for her son after learning he was homosexual. Still today, Christians have difficulty dealing with this issue when it hits home. This book tells the story of her journey from initial shock to the compassionate stage.

The following paragraph shares her progress along the journey:

For the past six months I have searched for answers about Larry and nothing has made sense to me. I know that compassion rather than condemnation is my responsibility toward Larry; and certainly during these months my emotions of anger and rage have turned to compassion and love. I want God’s attitude of love toward the sinner (although we know He hates the sin) to be my attitude also. [Page 113]


Recommendation. Read this book even if no one in your family has declared they are gay. You’re sure to meet someone at your office, in your civic group, at your church. This book helps you learn how to cope with the initial shock and learn to see homosexuals as God sees them.
