À propos de cet audio

 AN UPDATED EDITION OF THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK

An 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.
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.

This description refers to a 2012 edition of the book. Christianisme Théologie Vie chrétienne

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Radiates a genuine concern and belief in progress through slow, personal evolution...Both LGBT individuals and Christians will benefit from the modeling of a kinder, more accommodating navigation of this culture war."—Publishers Weekly
"Lee's writing is approachable, and he shows compassion for those on all sides of this debate."—Kirkus Reviews
"Disarmingly vulnerable...poignant..."—Christianity Today
"The beauty of this book is that Lee wants to challenge all kinds of Christians...Perhaps it is because of so many fights hard won that Lee is now able to move into more nuanced territory in this gracious and grace-filled memoir."—The Christian Century
"Lee, one of our leading voices on the issues of being gay and Christian, gives us this powerful look at ways that members on both sides of the lines can learn from and grow with each other."—SHE Magazine
"...His book offers helpful suggestions for Christians...[and] helpful suggestions for pastoral counseling..."—World Magazine
"This book is full of three things that are not always much in evidence in our debates on sexuality--fresh air, common sense and manifest love of Christ. What makes it different is that it is not essentially about arguing a case but abut bridging the gaps of understanding and sympathy that (inside and outside the Church) have distorted or muffled the overwhelming miracle of Gods gift in Christ and in Scripture. I welcome it very warmly."—Honorable Reverend Dr. Rowan Williams
"Justin didn't leave the church when he realized he was gay...he has been too determined to show them how much he loves them...This is the story of how one Christian man's faith taught him to accept himself, serve others who are in need, and bridge the gap for those who do not always understand."
—Jennifer Knapp, Singer/Songwriter, Founder of InsideOutFaith.org
"This is the most important book I've read in years, and it will be the first I recommend to anyone interested in bridging the divide between the LGBT community and the church. Justin has given us a precious gift with this story. May we receive it with the same courage and faith with which it was delivered."—Rachel Held Evans, blogger, author of Evolving in Monkey Town and A Year of Biblical Womanhood
"In TORN, Justin Lee blends simplicity, clarity, humility, honesty, and vulnerability in a gracious and eye-opening way. The book brings fresh perspectives to old and polarized debates, and it offers a wise and faithful way forward for pastors and other Christian leaders, parents and other family members, not to mention gay men and women themselves. This is the book that every Evangelical, Charismatic, and Roman Catholic Christian should read on the question of homosexuality."
—Brian D. McLaren, author of Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road? Christian Identity in a Multi-Faith World (brianmclaren.net)

The ability to listen and understand the other person, without trying to convince the other person of my point of view is so important for all issues facing the church. Hence my title above.

Excellent read for any Christ follower caught in the middle. I cannot recommend this book enough. Justin is the most humble, gracious young man that I have"met" in quite some time. This is a thorough examination of the issue - while at the same time reminding us that there are PEOPLE caught in this...not just ISSUES. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Justin is a brave man. Nothing is more powerful than someone’s own story. He is correct that this is one of the most important issues for the church as we relate to our culture.

“ A new command I give you: love one another as I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, that you love one another. “
-John 13:34,35

Important and honest

#Audible1 -- The author presents his own story in a very forthright and plain manner. He gives clear reviews of beliefs by Christians from many different backgrounds and thoughts. The material gives a lot of reasons to think about one's beliefs and understanding of the Bible and the topic of LGBTQ identity. Will likely be listening again to be able to take the material in for more processing.

Justin's description of feeling torn by inner conflict was powerful. His engagement with the Bible was a beautiful process to listen to. His experiences showcase significant diversity within the church. Parting words: love, understanding, disagreement, and living in community.
