With humor, vulnerability, and an accessibility that both disarms and delights, 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 he harbored a secret: He also knew that he was gay. Nicknamed "God Boy" by his peers, Justin knew that he was called to a life in the evangelical Christian ministry. I had the privilege of receiving an advance review copy of Torn, in which Justin shares his story. The minute I finished, I turned to Dan, tears streaming down my face, and said, “This one is a game-changer.” (Justin participated in one of our most popular "Ask A…" interviews, " Ask a Gay Christian.") It’s the only book about homosexuality and the Church that I feel comfortable recommending to everyone-from my gay friends to my parents. This is the power of Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-vs.-Christians Debate by Justin Lee, which officially releases today. Then, I loaned it to my parents, and they read it and loved it.Īnd the book hadn’t even been released yet!
