description: 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 eventshis coming out to his parents his experiences with the ex-gay movement and his in-depth study of the Biblethat 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 membersor 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.
