'As an academic study it is remarkably free of jargon and enables the general reader to gain a deeper understanding of how individuals experience their religion over time and of the facts and circumstances which influence expressions of faith. … 

This is a well-written book with extensive notes, bibliography and index sections. It will serve as a valuable textbook for those wishing to carry out further research in the complex subject of religion in Northern Ireland.'

Church of Ireland Gazette Review by George Erwin, November 2011

'Claire Mitchell and Gladys Ganiel’s book is representative of a growing trend among writers in the last decade who have turned their attention to the variety and complexity of evangelical Protestantism in Northern Ireland. By doing so, they have offered a welcome and insightful challenge to the stereotype that all evangelicals are preoccupied with politics, are disciples of Ian Paisley and are rigid and puritanical in their lifestyles … The book succeeds in describing a much more complex set of human beings than is often appreciated by commentators who either wilfully or otherwise describe evangelicals in sweeping generalisations.'
