• Praise for Roll Around Heaven

  “Forget about searching for the divine only in dusty old churches, in Roll Around Heaven, Jessica Maxwell proves you can stumble into a state of grace in a baseball stadium, on a pig farm, or even while lumbering down a freeway.”
  

  David Oliver Relin
  Author, Three Cups of Tea

  
  
  “Jessica and her book are the real deal.”
  

  Dr. Susan Corso
  Huffington Post

  
  
  “Jessica Maxwell is the Empress Tizzie Izzie of adventure writing. She’s ornate, lavish, unpredictable, commanding, witty, daring, and illuminated by a certain afterglow of spiritual awareness.”
  

  Tom Robbins
  Author, Wild Ducks Flying Backwards

  
  
  “What a fabulous journey! Through Jessica’s eyes and voice it is just pure magic.”
  

  Taj Mahal
  American Bluesman

  
  
  “Maxwell, an intrepid traveler with a delightful and amusing style, applies her deceptively light touch to the idea of spiritual seeking. Highly recommended.”
  

  —Tim Cahill
  Author, Hold the Enlightenment

  
  
  “If you want laughs, you don’t usually turn to spiritual memoirs. But Jessica Maxwell’s Roll Around Heaven is so full of LOL moments, it fits the bill....Maxwell is exuberant, grumpy, skewering, wise and so gosh-darn good-hearted in her quest to understand the universe, I couldn’t help wanting to tag along for the ride—er, roll.”
  

  Stephanie von Hirschberg
  More Magazine
  
  

  
  
  “Roll Around Heaven radiates the humor of life’s absurdities, the intrigue and breadth of an accidental globe-circling quest and the energy of a heartfelt prayer. In it, Maxwell knocks the pompous off their pedestals and finds inspiration in unexpected, sometimes terrifying places.”
  

  Faris Cassell
  The Register Guard
  
  

  
  
  “High energy and smart, like Maxwell, Roll Around Heaven: An All-True Accidental Spiritual Adventure is full of fun and fantastic moments. Embrace your own spiritual being! Or just enjoy Maxwell playing tag with hers.”
  

  Brian Juenemann
  Pacific Northwest Booksellers Assoc.
  
  

  
  
  “The message of the book is that we are all brothers and sisters, and we can all know the bliss of God within if we just show up and ask. It is a message that is not preached, but shared as by an intimate friend, and given wings by wit, eloquence and a generous spirit.”
