Product Description
A robbery, a lynching, and a mourning mother shake up the Yada Yadas.
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. 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 friendship to the limit. And a shocking confrontation in my third-grade classroom forced me to face my own accountability and learn what true forgiveness really is.
This book was not inspiring, enjoyable or bearable. The book should be called “Jodi”. The book focused on her and her alone. Characters are introduced in this book and never elaborated on or broken down into detail. If there is an issue with another character it was never addressed well enough to be resolved. The whole MaDear incident was not realistic on how it was handled. There needs to be realism in a book related to religion. And for the record, the prayer group never “Got Down”!!!!

Suburban White Chick’s hubby accidentally stumbles into the White vs. Black OK Corral triggering a racial reconciliation showdown …
… with racial reconciliation (& the lack thereof) being a recurring theme throughout the entire book.
Very real. Very dramatic. Very thought-provoking.
Whew. This one just about wore me OUT … !
Gotta love those Yada Yada Prayer Chicks

I loved the 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.

I love this series!!! This author is very captivating and really gets you engaged with the characters. I have recently gone through some tough times with illness in my family and this is series is exactly what I needed. It shows real people have real problems, but all the people have faith and know scripture from the bible, but on many different levels.
Rating: 5 / 5
The book continues to encourage me in my Christian walk as a Prayer warrior.
Our Woman’s Board for Precious Moments Women’s Ministry at our church has grown in prayer and fellowship through this entire series of the Yada Yada Prayer Group series. Wonderful series for Christians.
