I was sorry to realize this was the end of the yada yada prayer group novels but the book culminates in a Christmas celebration summing up all of the threads spun out in the seven books. To tell much of the story would spoil it but a Christmas wedding and yada yada celebration for the new year enable the author to tie up all the plot lines but also enable Jodi to articulate what she and the readers have learned about faith and God's plans for mankind. Two years have passed since the last book. J...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 othe...more

Although the final novella in the series is slimmer than its chunky predecessors, in THE YADA YADA PRAYER GROUP GETS DECKED OUT, author Neta Jackson again offers a thought-provoking story with a wonderful mix of sister friends that have spanned seven books.
Jackson has done a terrific job allowing these characters to grow in realistic ways while bringing up tough topics for them. There are many lessons about God's love and how he works all things for good for those who love and belie...more

fellow Christian females who find other Christian women hilarious sometimes
I have to admit, this series is a secret pleasure of mine. They are easier-than-pie to read (take you 2 days tops) but are pretty hilarious if you are "in" on the Christianese lingo and have experienced some of the similar trials and tribulations the women in the plot have. The entire premise of the series revolves around the main character, Jodi Baxter, a Christian wife and mother of two teenagers who is talked into attending a women's conference by her boss. Jodi, a quiet, yet "...more
The last book of the Yada Yada Prayer Group series & it was one of the best! It seemed to be a closure to all of the books & ended well. I felt like part of all the "sisters". I will miss reading them & wish Neta Jackson would pick back up & start writing more of them! They were an inspiration in my life to read...enjoyed the scripture reading in each book. "Thank ya Jesus!" As one sister would also shout out....you will truly be missed!
Wonderful series!!! Very inspiring! This last book in the series read very fast in just a few days. Yada Yada (women) and Bada Boom (men) groups should be everywhere. I'm looking forward to reading the author's next series with some of the same characters.

I thankfully and prayerfully finished the Yada Yada Prayer Group series. I'll miss these ladies but I know I'll return to visit them, perhaps looking up and studying upon each of the verses they mentioned.
I hope that one day I'll have a group of "sisters" like them.

I'm so sad that this is the last book in this series. These books have helped me to get through this last year and increased my spiritual growth. I fell in love with Jodi Baxter's husband in this last book when he gave her two kittens for Christmas.
This is my favourite one of the series! Too bad it's the last... but it has such a perfect ending, and some of the most funny and touching moments of the series. I look forward to the author's new series (due next year)!
Again, this series was great! It challenged my own prayer life and gave characters that were real and whom I could connect with. I felt like I was part of the story.
Wow what a great way to end the series! I'll miss my sistas! I feel I've grown to be one of them. Looking forward to the next series out in '08!!!
Sad that the 7 book Yada Yada series has ended but looking forward to the spin off series House of Hope. Again, never a dull moment with this group.
This is the seventh and last book in the Yada Yada Prayer Group series, A good series always leaves you wanting more and this series does that.
How can something that is such fun to read, be so inspiring and spiritually challenging? This is the last of the Yada-yadas. I'm glad I read them.
Final book in the series - wraps things up nicely and brings back a few characters from the first book or two - Jodi reminds me some of me
I have loved this series of books and have come to love each and every one of the Yada Yada Sisters as if they were my own.
This is a pretty good book, just make sure to read book 6 in the series before it. I didn't and felt like I missed a lot.
This book was, as expected, awful. I read it on a bet, and I couldn't expect more. It was incoherent, mildly depressing, and haphazardly written. The protagonist is too awful to be believed, and her sordid, improbably life story is not what I want to read about. Why two stars then, you ask? It could have been worse. It has basically sound theology (If God is your copilot, move over) and it could have been alot longer. I recommend it to women over 35 and anyone willing to endure this torturous sl...more
I have loved all the books in the series - alas - this is the last one.
I was sad to read no new Yada books. But very happy to read that 2 new parallel series will start in 1/09 (I think). So I will miss the group as a whole but look forward to meeting new people and visiting with old friends. ( I know, sounds like I am talking about real people).
Good quick read and made me think about relationships and Christ
The conclusion to the Yada Yada series. Yay!
A full circle closing for a great series.
I really enjoyed this series and am sad that it's over. It was interesting to see how all kinds of people worship and praise God, whether they're Black or White, Hispanic or South American. Really enjoyed learning some of the Jewish traditions as well.
Loved this series! The final novella was short and sweet.
My parents have been part of a multi-ethnic church and community for many years. I enjoyed the first Yada Yada Prayer Group book because the interactions between the characters mirrored some of the things my parents did.
I'm glad I finished the series, but this book was a disappointment. The characters seemed to get flatter as the series went on, and there was really nothing new in this last book. I'm sorry that the series ended so poorly because the series had so much potential.

The whole Yada Yada series was fantastic! I love the incorporation of scripture and daily life application. I feel like I have my own Yada Yada group and am so blessed!
I loved the first book in this series. It made we want to continue being part of these ladies lives. Unfortunately, the library only had the Book 7 on the shelves so a lot of time and events had taken place in their lives. Neta Jackson is a great writer because she gave a little back story which got me caught up. I love Jodie's character. She is so real and compassionate. I will continue reading this series when the other books become available.
I read this final book in the Yada Yada Prayer Group series only because I have trouble dropping a series in the middle. The book wasn't bad, but it wasn't really necessary since there weren't any unfinished plot lines. This installment felt like a reunion special with the cast of your favorite childhood show; you want to spend more time with your favorite characters, but it isn't the best writing of the series.
Well, I finished the Yada Yada Prayer Group Series . . . it touched my life . . . the characters were so well developed that I know I will miss them! I hear Neta Jackson has a new series coming Soul Sisters??? not sure . . . but anyway, I also finished the House of Hope series . . . started the Harry Bentley series . . . can't get enough of the Neta and Dave Jackson author team!!
