Product Description:
A robbery, a lynching, and a mourning mother shakes up the Yada Yada Prayer Group.
I had never felt so violated! The Yada Yada Prayer Group was 'gettin down' with God in prayer and praise one night when a heroin-crazed woman barged into my house, demanded our valuables, and threatened us with a 10-inch knife -- a knife that drew blood.
We wondered if we'd ever get back to normal after this terrifying experience. I assumed we would (although 'normal' doesn't usually describe the twelve of us mismatched women anyway). After all, we'd started praying together at the Chicago Women's Conference last spring, and we'd been through a lot already as spiritual sisters. This was just one more hurdle to conquer, right?
But then a well-meaning gesture suddenly incited a backlash of anger in the group, forcing us to confront generations of racial division, pain, and distrust -- and stretching our friendships to the limit. Initially I thought, 'Surely I, Jodi 'Good Girl' Baxter, am not responsible for other people's sins -- am I?' But a shocking confrontation in my third-grade classroom forced me to face my own accountability, and God used the Yada Yada Prayer Group (and my own husbands, of all people!) to show me what true forgiveness really is.

This series is one of the most refreshing and inspirational group of books I have ever read. I have completed all 7 and could easily read them again. The characters are real people who have a strong faith in God and depend on each other for human support and accountability. YOu'll laugh, cry and rejoice.

This book was great (the entire series is great). As you read this, you most definitely will identify with one of the characters. The book flows easily and deals with every day typical situations that Christians are faced with. It was a hard book to put down!!

I loved the very first book Yadayada Prayer Group, so I immediately ordered this audiobook. The reader Barbara Rosenblat is the only thing that kept my interest in this book. But even with her voices, I found the book boring. Will not read any other books in this series.

If you thought Book 1 was was a page turner and the message was great... wait till you get a hold of this book!!! When I finished reading the book I texted my friend and said... "Simply Amazing"!!! The message that it brings, the story line, the power of the gospel simply AMAZING... A MUST READ!!! BE BLESSED!!!

My niece, Raecyne, recommended this book series. I enjoy the Yada Yada Prayer Group series so very much. Neta expertly crafts her characters so that you almost instinctively assign voices and faces to these characters. You feel as though you know these characters; you go to church with these ladies, they are in your choir or your small group. I told my niece that I am already lamenting my completion of the series. It will be like the feeling of loneliness you experience when you have to leave your church family and move to another location. You know you will miss these people who have meant so much to your life and your spiritual growth. Sounds like an extreme view of characters in a book? I challenge you to start reading the series. You will be delighted. You will also be challenged in your spiritual walk as the main character Jodi Baxter is challenged and grows spiritually. Treat yourself to the ladies of the Yada Yada Prayer Group!
