Although (Jadeine) Shives' global mission is to bring fresh water to the arid regions of India, she daily taps into a wellspring of divinity in all its forms..."

Debbie Barr - Orlando Sentinel

"In Digging a Well to Heaven, the transformation of Jadeine Shives comes through the undulating experiences from the surge of the divine to mortal emotions; every situation becomes a testing ground. The spiritual journey is an endeavor comparable to digging a well, seeking the sacred interface of earth-water, human-divine, profane-sacred. Her endeavor is characterized by persistence, perseverance and focus until the unfolding of "spiritual divinity" is found in the bonds of a mortal frame."

"I feel as if I'm reading spiritual poetry, so eloquent, so beautiful. I've thoroughly enjoyed the journey you took to India, this odessey is so beautiful."

Sue Bentley - Playwrite - "Those who shower together, stay together."

"Very personal yet universal in its approach mirroring the highs and lows of India, her ageless cultural and spiritual ethos and philosophies, the unity in diversity of India's people, culture and ethics. This book is destined to become the new age Gita for travelers from the West for the journey to the Orient."

Dr. M.K. Sridhar - Hindu University of America

"We have great respect for the philanthropic work you are doing with digging wells in India. Many, many blessings for the continued unfolding of this great work
