Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-vs.-Christians Debate by Justin Lee
5.0
For anyone wanting an understanding of the gay-Christian experience, this is a great book. Justin Lee tells his own story and you can definitely feel his struggle as he tries to navigate this territory no one really knows too much about.
Chapters 12 and 13 are great discussions about the Bible, taking a holistic approach to scripture. He understands the weight many people feel in the pressure to interpret the text correctly. Unlike many other books that give obscure and half-baked arguments to try and convince people of a certain side, it is evident that Justin has a heart for God and wanting to know truth, wrestling with the complexities of the debate.
He also concludes the book by giving actionable steps Christians can make to move forward in loving their LGBTQ friends and family. I would definitely recommend.
