I have used the first edition of Dori Baker’s Girlfriend Theology for many years in my God and Gender course at Luther College. It has proven to be an excellent resource to validate experience, connect with each other’s spiritual journeys, and to learn about the reality and resilience from global voices. I am looking forward to reading this book with my students. The stories told are compelling and offer a glimpse into the world of young adults, addressing both hopes and fears. Dori’s writing reflects her personality: intellectually engaging, ethically committed, and creatively gifted.

I design experiences that welcome the stories, energy and wisdom in the room to come alive. Let’s connect and grow together.
