As a teenager and young man, Justin Lee believed deeply torn. Nicknamed "God Guy" by his peers, he realized that he was called to a life in the evangelical Religious ministry. But Lee harbored a top secret: He also realized that he was gay. In this groundbreaking book, Lee recalls the events - his developing to his parents, his experiences with the "ex-gay" movements, and his in-depth study of the Bible - that led him, eventually, to self-acceptance. But more than just a memoir, Torn provides insightful, useful advice for all determined Christians who speculate how to relate with gay friends or members of the family - or who have a problem with their own sexuality. Convinced that "in a culture that views gays and Christians as enemies, gay Christians are in a distinctive position to bring calmness," Lee shows that individuals of faith on both edges of the argument can respect, study from, and love each other.
