Compelling and convincing . . . Religious Transformation in Maya Guatemala is the kind of book that could only have been born out of extraordinary efforts and circumstances.--Eric Hoenes del Pinal, Reading Religion

The book is a tour de force, building on some of the most sustained, perceptive fieldwork ever done in indigenous communities of the Americas. The polished writing, with its textured insights and depth of ethnography, explains in fascinating detail key changes in the spiritual life of Latin America and rural, indigenous Guatemala. I have never seen such a comprehensive treatment, and it will be of greatest value to those interested in rapid religious change. I know of few people who could take such an expansive view on the topic.--Stephen Houston, author of The Life Within: Classic Maya and the Matter of Permanence
