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.This description refers to a 2012 edition of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52339497238816,"sku":"USED1455514314","price":7.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91wM_qxJa4L.jpg?v=1789118535","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/torn-rescuing-the-gospel-from-the-gays-vs-christians-debate-1455514314-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
