The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Tough (The Yada Yada Prayer Group #4)
by
Neta Jackson
The Yada Yadas got tight in the past year, but they're about to learn the real meaning of togetherness.
We'd done it: we'd taken a mismatched, diverse group of women and cobbled together a prayer group that really worked for "all "of us. Now that spring was here, we were celebrating our one-year anniversary--"and "a wedding, an early parole, and two baptisms in the lake! Ev...more

a. Excellent series of Jodie and her prayer group consisting of Adele, Edesa, Flo, Yo-Yo, Avis, Ruth, Leslie (Stu) Stuart, Delores, Hoshi, Nony, Chanda and Becky Wallace (Do I have all the names?)
b. We meet many other characters along the way including Jodie’s husband Denny and their 2 teenagers, Josh and Amanda and the families of the other Yada-Yadas.
c. There’s a fatal accident, a robbery, a shooting, as well as love and laughter, and many other goings-on in this series. These peop...more

I love how Neta Jackson makes the reader think about the issue of racism within society and also within the church. Neta does a great job in how the characters are so real.
In book #4 it is Spring and the Yada Yadas are Celebrating - their one-year anniversary--and a wedding, an early parole, and two baptisms in the lake! A time of Rejoicing and feeling comfortable and many times when we are in our comfort zone that we're most likely to let our guard down and to get our focus off the Author &...more

I especailly enjoyed this book. A crisis hits the Yada Yada group that tests their faith. Not only the women but their families too. In this book everyone gets involved and they ask what the future has in store for them. Jodi has a lot of questions and still deal with her interself at times wanting to know again why God lets such evil to happen. I know what she means. in the book is shows how all the women are going thru things that test their faith. It shows how they deal with it, through pray,...more
Lots of changes for the group and a reminder that nothing stays the same as God is always in the details. This is a series which are all excellent so you can pick up in the middle; but starting at the beginning is best. What a diverse group of Christian women and even tho these are "Yankees", most believers can relate. Inspirational and brings a smile to your face and refreshes your Spirit.
I really needed to visit with the Yada Yada ladies again! They did not let me down.
I love the world of the Yada Yada prayer group, for each of the ladies life is not perfect they have their problems, but stand together to face whatever is thrown at them. This time the ladies have to get tough as they face the threats from a white supremacy group to interracial churches sharing the same church premises, wining the lottery, teen romances and unplanned pregnancies and the violent attack on one of t...more

I am reading out of sequence yet again in yet another series... Yet this time I have done it on purpose! This is series does a good job of building characters and making them memorable. That makes book hoping easy. I do however have the first book in hand and ready to step back into time. In this book you really see the racial diversity in this group of ladies when a race hating group comes to town. A young man grows into a man as he graduates and you get to not only watch him admit he is in lov...more

I enjoyed this book as much as the others in the series. I especially like the way Jackson gives a happy ending without making it feel too unrealistic. These books aren't high art, but the writing is engaging enough to make me care what happens to the characters.
Okay so I guess I'm reading the series backwards because this is book four, however, its such a good book I will be going back to read the previous books. Each member of the group experiences the need for serious prayer. A fast read for me.
WOW! Just when I think the last book was good! This #4 was by far the BEST! I love the scripture reading in each book. Neta Jackson you out did yourself on this book! I have already started on the next book! I don't want them to end!
This is the fourth book in the Yada Yada Prayer Group series. Jackson deals with the theme of racism and reveals the very real racism that lies just under the surface in North American culture and even in our churches.
This particular book in the series focused on racial tension. I believe this one has touched me the most thus far because of that fact and particularly how Jodi's son dealt with the issue. Made me cry. As always, I enjoy their references to the hymns they sing as so many are familiar hymns of my own church.
What a life-changer! This book hits so many areas of life. I was so encouraged by the constant prayers and reminders of keeping God's will and plan first in our lives.
I loved how she uses the scriptures throughout the book. It excites me to read the Bible even more.

The Yada Yadas celebrate their first anniversary. Hate group plays a part in this story. Awesome Christian fiction.
Another great Yada Yada book. I love this author and the way the characters are so real. Can't wait for book #5
I rated each of the Yada Yada books with a 5. Each one is fun to read, hard to put down, and inspiring, too!
I am not a sequel book reader. Usually don't like the books by book 4 but I still enjoyed this one.
I think there are 3 more in this series. Hoping to complete it before the end of the year
The stroy continues with more difficulties in life for all the women and their families.
Absolutely LOVED this book. It uplifted my spirit and taught me a whole new way to pray.
The best book in the series! After this one, they start to seem a little rushed.
Another great book in the Yada Yada Series cannot wait to read the next book...
Yet another excellent book. I had a difficult time putting the book down!
It gets difficult finding new things to say about this series, because each book is 'more of the same' - but in a good way! It touches me, it moves me, it makes me laugh, it makes me cry, and most importantly - it challenges me. I need to take a page from these books and get my prayer-life up to snuff.
I liked how this book had everybody involved - not just the Yadas, but their families as well. Josh is growing up to be an amazing guy, and I look forward to reading more about him in the next book...more

Every book in this series seems to get more interesting.
Want a book and a series that will make you absolutely YEARN for a closer walk with Christ? Then this is the one for you! Fantastic story and presentation of women from all backgrounds serving the Lord together. This book, like the others before it, was hard to put down!The series is a must read!
