Torn
Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-vs.-Christians Debate | Justin Lee
4 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
As a teenager and young man, Justin Lee felt deeply torn. Nicknamed "God Boy" by his peers, he knew that he was called to a life in the evangelical Christian ministry. But Lee harbored a secret: He also knew that he was gay. In this groundbreaking book, Lee recalls the events--his coming out to his parents, his experiences with the "ex-gay" movement, and his in-depth study of the Bible--that led him, eventually, to self-acceptance. But more than just a memoir, TORN provides insightful, practical guidance for all committed Christians who wonder how to relate to gay friends or family members--or who struggle with their own sexuality. Convinced that "in a culture that sees gays and Christians as enemies, gay Christians are in a unique position to bring peace," Lee demonstrates that people of faith on both sides of the debate can respect, learn from, and love one another.

Here‘s the Hour 18 Challenge for #24in48: #WeNeedDiverseBooks. I read the tagged book at a time when I was sorting through how to reconcile my Christian faith & being an LGBTQ ally, especially to friends who had been deeply hurt by the church. Partly because it came at the right time, Lee‘s discussion of his own experience being both gay & Christian was revolutionary for me in opening up space for a larger, more welcoming version of my own faith.
