“I read this book in two sittings with building curiosity for what religious and mothering perspectives and experiences the next chapter would reveal. This book is a great addition to the field of mothering and religious studies that I highly recommend for students, scholars, and all children of mothers seeking to understand the complexity and intricacies of mothering with mindfulness and compassion in a religiously diverse world.”
—Barbara Bickel, Director of Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies and Associate Professor of Art Education, Southern Illinois University

“There is a delicious irony in the title of this volume, Angels on Earth, as its essays bedevil commonly-held patriarchal assumptions about motherhood, religion and spirituality. Their focus on the ways in which mothering and religiosity/spirituality intersect in real women’s lives opens up promising new avenues of inquiry into women’s active participation in defining themselves and their worlds.”
—Becky R. Lee, Associate Professor, Department of Humanities, York University, and co-editor of Canadian Women Shaping Diasporic Religious Identities
