DescriptionAs 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. Reviews"With gracious spirit, intelligent sense of proportion and, above all, prayerful and rigorous honesty in pursuing a deeply biblical perspective, Justin Lee engages the churches' latest sad assault against folks they still have failed to hear. What he's lived and learned and written needs to be received with gratitude and given prayerful reflection - not to agree or disagree with this or that, but to listen with the love that fulfills the law and the prophets."--Dr. Ralph Blair, Psychotherapist and Founder of Evangelicals Concerned, Inc.
