Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-vs.-Christians Debate by Justin Lee

5.0

I've been meaning to read this book for years but kept getting distracted by other demands. But my dear friend Kylee sent me a link this week and insisted that it would fall weightier after reading the book. http://tonycampolo.org/for-the-record-tony-campolo-releases-a-new-statement/#.VXXfT5NVikp It's encouraging to see people who are thoughtfully wrestling with their theology and who are willing to change their minds in order to pursue what they now see as true. This book is a reminder that one of the greatest powers is in personal story-telling; you can disagree with someone's theology or worldview or choices, but you can't deny someone's story. Stories don't justify a theology or worldview, but they do force you to confront your own. Justin's vulnerability and bravery in sharing his story has already changed (and I believe will continue to change) the dialogue in a much needed way.
