Number 5 of the Yada Yada Prayer Group series is more than a good read. Each character is living real life - struggles, unplanned pregnancy, children in pain, money problems (both lots and little), church "stuff" One insight I had is that this series is the way life would be for most people if we really knew what was happening with the folks who share our church pews (or folding chairs, for my fellow non-traditional, charismatic church types). Real life. Real issues. Real opportunities for change and "going deeper."


After four books of my wanting to be like Avis and Nony when I "grow up" this book takes us deeper into the character and heart of those two members of the prayer group.

If you're like me - picky about what you read. Wanting excellent writing and revealing characters within a powerful, honest story, pick up the Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Caught.

Julia, Madison, Wisconsin

In Chicago, the thirteen women who make up the Yada Yada prayer group each face personal crisis that they hesitate to take up with God or the other members. Ruth in her fifties carries twins while knowing fifty per cent of those in their forties miscarry and Tay Sachs is a major threat if the fetus lives; she takes solace with the biblical story of Sarah. Chandra rides taxis instead of the Tube or walking as she won the Illinois State lottery, but the victory brings back an unwanted past. Becky needs a job to get little Andy back while Rochelle fears for herself and her child from her angry mate. Finally everyone is caught up with the merging of the congregations of the Uptown Community and the New Morning Churches that should be smooth but instead seems more like the workers on the Tower of Babel. Even capable Jodi struggles as she tries to help everyone like the Good Samaritan she is and which may cost her teaching job. Jodi also feels overwhelmed until she turns to the Lord for guidance and others follow suit.

The latest Yada Yada tale is a terrific look at an ensemble cast coming from different walks of life yet sharing in common prayer. The amazing thing about this novel and its four predecessors is that Neta Jackson is able to keep her thirteen "lead" characters and their family members and friends distinct so that fans know what motivates each one of them. Though this deep character study can stand alone, newcomers will be better suited to obtain the previous novels that enable an even greater understanding of the players as Ms. Jackson provides another profound inspirational tale starring real people.

This is probably the best book in the series so far. They just keep getting better. The Christian teaching that comes out of the book is amazing and challenges you even though this is a novel. I think you need to read this book twicw. Once for the enjoyment factor and the other to take note of all the bible teaching that is present.
Fabulous book. Thankyou Neta....

I have enjoyed all the Yada Yada books and was thrilled to find another in the series. It did not disappoint me.

I have enjoyed every one of the "Yada Yada" books. I'm looking forward to the next one. Each book has left me with some word of encouragement or inspiration. Neta Jackson is truly using her God-given talent. Well worth reading!!!

A group of women in my office have been reading this series. We have thouroughly enjoyed all of the books.

This is a really good book. It puts you in the right mind spiritually about how to continue to trust God even when things don't seem to go our way AT ALL! I also like the scripture references because they give you ammuniton to use in times of spiritual trouble.

This series really helped me through a tough time. Reading how these women handled their everyday and not so everday problems ministered to me as I went through a serious illness with my husband. The women are down to earth and practical. Recommend for anyone.

The last book in the series. You just
do not want it to end. You come to know
the characters as if they are your family
and friends. Very well written. Would
love to see another series by this author.
Life changing books that are very easy to
read.

Every christen should live as this group of 13 women did and do. So glad so many prayer groups have started from this series.
