Description from Amazon:
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.
My thoughts:
I love how easy of read this was. I could not put it down. I read it in record time. I could relate to the story of Justin and at times felt myself saying me too! I recommend this book to any gay christian out there. Though there was times that I thought hard about where I stand on things, any great book will make you do this. I love the ease Justin has on it.
I love how also he reminds us to walk and act in grace. So often we forget to. Overall I give this book a five star rating!
