Angels Across Religions and Cultures

Critical Acclaim and Recognition

The Washington Post praised it as "a golden conjunction of heaven and earth...reminding us that there are angels in every religion." The Chicago Tribune noted, "As far as angels are concerned, now you see them, now you don't. A Book of Angels gives us a lovely, sustained glimpse."
