Reviews
"Van Heijst [komt] tot een zeer verfijnde en complete anlayse van de zorgpraktijk." Paul van Trigt, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
"A must-read for every researcher in the historiography of care work by nuns and for those interested in the debates on what actually took place in the history of various religious-inspired forms of care."
Annemieke van Drenth, Leiden University, The Catholic Historical Review, Vol. 95, No. 4 (October 2009), pp. 858-859.

Barry M. Coldrey, Melbourne. In: Church History and Religious Culture, Vol. 90, No. 4 (2010), pp. 715-716.
