{"product_id":"torn-rescuing-the-gospel-from-the-gays-vs-christians-debate","title":"Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-vs.-Christians Debate","description":"A newly revised and updated edition is available in paperback.\n\nAn evangelical Christian examines the impact of sexuality, the LGBTQ+ movement, and the future of the church in this thoughtful, deeply researched guide to navigating and mending the social and political division in our families and churches.\n\nAs 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.\n\nBut 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.\n\nThis description refers to a 2012 edition of the book.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1455514306\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1455514306.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lee, Justin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
