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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This description refers to a 2012 edition of the book.","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49349719654704,"sku":"BDb4om","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/b4om-Square-cover.jpg?v=1778115414","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-b4om","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
