Bubble Girl - (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Kat Banakis, like many young adults, struggled to find how her Christian faith would shape her adult life. Bubble Girl seamlessly weaves together iconic tales of those in their twenties and thirties--isolation, unemployment, virtual (and real) relationships, and rodent infestations--with theological reflection. Take a solo journey or grab some friends and follow Kat's quirky, wobbly, messy wanderings as you take the faith road trip together.

Review Quotes

"Offbeat...quirky...candid, but not self-indulgent...welll-written...They all fit Bubble Girl perfectly. And what they are describing is one of the best, kindest, gentlest, most informative introductions to theology and to the faith of the young-to-middle-aged Christian that I have ever seen." --Phyllis Tickle, author of Emergence Christianity

"Kat Banakis has written a memoir that is too funny to be called 'spiritual.' I did, I really did, laugh out loud." --Nora Gallagher, author of Monnlight Sonata at the Mayo Clinic

"Banakis's humor, transparency, and honesty resonate across generations, while also offering a lucid window into the state of postmodern American young adulthood as it wrestles with faith, organized religion, and even our traditional archetypes of God, gender, and family." --Christian Piatt, author of PregMANcy

"Kat Banakis's book matters because it's not just her story: it's our story, and the story of what it means to be a person of faith (or not) at this moment." --Anne S. Howard, executive director of The Beatitudes Society
