...His book offers helpful suggestions for Christians...[and] helpful suggestions for pastoral counseling..., Justin didn't leave the church when he realized he was gay...he has been too determined to show them how much he loves them. This is not the story of how a gay man has reconciled his sexuality inside his Southern Baptist upbringing. This is the story of how one Christian man's faith taught him to accept himself, serve others who are in need, and bridge the gap for those who do not always understand., Praise for TORN: "In TORN, Justin Lee blends simplicity, clarity, humility, honesty, and vulnerability in a gracious and eye-opening way. The book brings fresh perspectives to old and polarized debates, and it offers a wise and faithful way forward for pastors and other Christian leaders, parents and other family members, not to mention gay men and women themselves. This isthebook thateveryEvangelical, Charismatic, and Roman Catholic Christian should read on the question of homosexuality.", "In TORN, Justin Lee blends simplicity, clarity, humility, honesty, and vulnerability in a gracious and eye-opening way.

This is the book that every Evangelical, Charismatic, and Roman Catholic Christian should read on the question of homosexuality." -- Brian D. McLaren, author of Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road? Christian Identity in a Multi-Faith World (brianmclaren.net), This book is full of three things that are not always much in evidence in our debates on sexuality--fresh air, common sense and manifest love of Christ. What makes it different is that it is not essentially about arguing a case but abut bridging the gaps of understanding and sympathy that (inside and outside the Church) have distorted or muffled the overwhelming miracle of Gods gift in Christ and in Scripture. I welcome it very warmly., TORN sheds light on one of the most important and divisive issues facing the church. If you're looking for a deeper understanding on this or are just trying to make sense of the whole debate, this is the book., The beauty of this book is that Lee wants to challenge all kinds of Christians...Perhaps it is because of so many fights hard won that Lee is now able to move into more nuanced territory in this gracious and grace-filled memoir., Justin didn't leave the church when he realized he was gay...he has been too determined to show them how much he loves them...This is the story of how one Christian man's faith taught him to accept himself, serve others who are in need, and bridge the gap for those who do not always understand., In TORN, Justin Lee blends simplicity, clarity, humility, honesty, and vulnerability in a gracious and eye-opening way. The book brings fresh perspectives to old and polarized debates, and it offers a wise and faithful way forward for pastors and other Christian leaders, parents and other family members, not to mention gay men and women themselves. This is the book that every Evangelical, Charismatic, and Roman Catholic Christian should read on the question of homosexuality., Justin Lee's TORN is a wise informative book that's nothing short of a gift. Through both theological and personal lenses, Lee tears the masks off of the gays vs. Christians 'culture war'. An important read for all Christians, TORN shines a bright light on how this polarizing topic is affecting people, the church, and the Gospel of Christ., Radiates a genuine concern and belief in progress through slow, personal evolution...Both LGBT individuals and Christians will benefit from the modeling of a kinder, more accommodating navigation of this culture war., In TORN, Justin Lee speaks for so many other gay and lesbian persons' unspoken experiences. This book is not about politics, but a life. I hope people read this book and realize the journey of faith and sexuality is a reality-a reality that the Church, whether they agree or not, must face as a legitimate expression of how LGBT people unnecessarily feel TORN between two worlds., In TORN, Justin Lee blends simplicity, clarity, humility, honesty, and vulnerability in a gracious and eye-opening way. The book brings fresh perspectives to old and polarized debates, and it offers a wise and faithful way forward for pastors and other Christian leaders, parents and other family members, not to mention gay men and women themselves. This isthebook thateveryEvangelical, Charismatic, and Roman Catholic Christian should read on the question of homosexuality., "Radiates a genuine concern and belief in progress through slow, personal evolution...Both LGBT individuals and Christians will benefit from the modeling of a kinder, more accommodating navigation of this culture war."-- Publishers Weekly, So many gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people give up on Christianity because they cannot reconcile with who they are, with what they were brought up to believe that the Bible teaches about sexuality. Here is a wonderfully told story of a brave young homosexual man who has struggled to hold onto his faith while still affirming himself as gay. This is a must-read., With gracious spirit, intelligent sense of proportion and, above all, prayerful and rigorous honesty in pursuing a deeply biblical perspective, Justin Lee engages the churches' latest sad assault against folks they still have failed to hear. What he's lived and learned and written needs to be received with gratitude and given prayerful reflection - not to agree or disagree with this or that, but to listen with the love that fulfills the law and the prophets., This is the most important book I've read in years, and it will be the first I recommend to anyone interested in bridging the divide between the LGBT community and the church. Justin has given us a precious gift with this story. May we receive it with the same courage and faith with which it was delivered., Justin Lee has been put through the ringer by the church. Yet, unlike so many others of his generation, he hasn't given up on the church. Instead, he's put a great deal of effort into reforming the church, and he's done so with a virtue that so many lack: hope. If the Christian church is ever to treat LGBT persons the way that Jesus would treat them, then we need to pay close attention to the pages of TORN., Lee, one of our leading voices on the issues of being gay and Christian, gives us this powerful look at ways that members on both sides of the lines can learn from and grow with each other.

Synopsis
A newly updated edition is now available in paperback. Justin Lee, a gay man and devout Christian, bridges the gaps between his faith and sexuality in this insightful and touching memoir. 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.
