J.C. Knudson Lives the Difference, Brings Experience to Memoir of Being Gay in America<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joseph “J.C.” Knudson is an author on a mission to educate the world’s population about understanding and accepting people who are gay. His first book, a memoir, is called Living the Difference (2010, Espresso House Publishing). Its subtitle is “An Enlightening Story Revealed For People of All Ages, Straight or Gay.”<\/p>\n

Editorial reviews of Knudson’s book call Living the Difference “a fascinating journey no gay author has been able to capture to date,” “conquering the final frontier of bigotry and ignorance,” and “filled with love, hate, joy, sorrow and much more.”<\/p>\n

Living the Difference also turned up on Vonnie Faroqui’s book blog, Writers in the Sky. Faroquai calls the memoir “remarkably under-sensationalized,” praising Knudson’s honest storytelling style that leaves the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. She mentions how Living the Difference lifts the curtain on the so-called “gay lifestyle,” revealing a human portrait that resonates regardless of gender or sexual orientation. It’s a portrait of success, of meaning, and of hope.<\/p>\n

From Faroquai’s description, Living the Difference seems to be an important resource for young gay men living with fear, shame or self-loathing; or for anyone coming to terms with a friend or family member’s coming out. Knudson, it seems, told his story not to shock, offend or “convert” anyone, but simply to lay out a roadmap for acceptance. The book lights a candle against the darkness of ignorance.<\/p>\n
