Book series I LOVE

I love love love a book series I plowed my way through last year--The Yada Yada Prayer Group by Neta Jackson. There are seven books in the series, which is about the spiritual learning curve of a group of very diverse women. They meet at a weekend prayer conference and are thrown together to pray through a crisis which occurs in the family of one of the women during that weekend. They realize something special has happened among them as they stormed heaven together for their new friend, and decide to begin praying together every other Sunday night. For seven books, the women journey through individual differences and rocky life circumstances to emerge a strongly bonded unit of intercessors. They are of different denominations, each of which are highlighted during the series. They are are also in various stages of spiritual maturity. The Yada Yadas confront issues like pride, forgiveness, prejudice, spiritual warfare, and unplanned pregnancy as they weave through their very different-looking lives. I found myself devouring these books and finding the characters so real that, I told a prayer mom friend, "I'm so ready to invite the Yada Yadas to our next fellowship night!"

  1. Are they real? Invite them if they are! You never know. :-) I for one, am intrigued enough to hunt the series down.

  2. No, they aren't real! I wish they were...they'd be a hoot to hang out with.
