In Angels in Red Suspenders, Milton shares stories of everyday miracles, hope, and the discovery of meaning. With characteristic zip and humor, he offers readers food for the spirit.
"There are complete chapters that may shock some readers - if they aren't doubled up in laughter." - Angela Hall, Coast Mountain News

"Milton uses the story as a lens through which to view and make sense of the complex life around us."
Winnipeg Free Press
Neufeld Wiens
"Milton maintains that spirituality is like sex. If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right. And this book, reminiscent of the writing of Robert Fulghum, is fun.
But Angels In Red Suspenders is not just fun in the shallow sense of the word. It is about joy - the joy found not only in happiness and celebration but in the midst of pain and sorrow as well."
Coast Mountain News
Angela Hall
"It's a funny, easy-read, tongue-in-cheek approach that combines spirituality with the author's personal musings on events, family, friends, and the ordeal of aging.
Milton doesn't try to convince or convert you or even expect you to take him seriously - as a matter of fact, there are complete chapters that may shock some of the readers - if they aren't doubled up in laughter."
The United Church Observer
Patricia Clarke
Here's an easy-to-read book in everyday language about living spiritually from Ralph Milton. It's a collection of short pieces, to be read one at a time, some of them inspiring laughter, others offering insights into meanings below the surface of life. "Laughter and tears come from the same place in our soul," Milton says, "and laughter needs to be there with the tears or the tears will turn into despair."
Chilliwack Times
Andrea Deakin
Angels in Red Suspenders is a down-to-earth collection of short pieces, some recycled from other publications, others used in seminars and speeches, all dealing with the human condition and told with an everyday humour and wisdom that makes them accessible.
It is as if you are sitting with a sage friend whose approach to the problems of the everyday puts them in a special perspective.
The Rare Bird
Arnold Ranneris
This is a book to have at hand to dip into, laugh and ponder and savour penetrating insights.
