A devastating fire wakes up the Yadas to a new reality: God is on the move. What I'd like to know is, why does God keep rearranging my comfort zone? It could have something to do with my Yada Yada prayer sisters, who aren't afraid to get in each other's faces and tend to expect big things from God. But to move forward, sometimes we have to let go of what's behind. In spite of the loss of two dear friends. In spite of the breakup of a teenage love. In spite of the curse of HIV. In spite of prison time hanging over the head of a beloved child. In spite of fire consuming the hopes of those who have nothing. Yet out of the ashes, God is doing a new thing It's time for the Yadas to press on, pray on, and get rolling
Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Rolling by Neta Jackson is sixth book in this series, and Jackson continues to write a powerful novel. Jodi Baxter is back with her clan and the rest of the Yada Yada Prayer Group. The group faces new challenges including HIV, jail, fire, and roller-skating, some with more grace than others. I think one of the powerful themes of this series is that we only grow when we are stretched, and God regularly stretches us beyond what we think we can bear. Jodi is learning this lesson well and leaning on her friends and the Lord. She still struggles with control issues and fear, but there is real character growth there. Major changes are in store for the next book coming out later this year. I look forward to it.
Welcome back, Yada Yada sisters!

I own each of the books in this series and haven't been disappointed in any of them. I loan them out to friends after I've read them and they enjoy them too. The characters are fresh, the plot(s)--each life has it's own--are interesting, and for anyone wanting fiction with a faith-base and still enjoyable, you might like this as much as I did.
Loved It, Loved It!

I truly enjoyed this new book from the Yada Yada Prayer Group Series. You almost feel like you're part of the group yourself. I also love that she lists the scriptures and that you can go to your Bible and look them up. Am anxiously awaiting the next book. God Bless.
They are most definitely worth reading

Wow! I picked up Book Six, 'Yada Yada's Get Rolling' on Thursday and by Friday night I was done and yearning for Book Seven to be finished and on the shelves! I have been so drawn to this series; wishing I had a group of friends who were as commited to each other as these ladies are. I am always touched by the way that they are there for each other regardless of the fact that they don't live in the same neighborhood and they all have families of their own. That's true friendship; laying down your life for your brother! Way to go Mrs Jackson! You have written another wonderfully captivating, thought-provoking, heart touching book! Thank you!

Once again, Neta Jackson delivers a great installment in the Yada Yada Prayer Group series. I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a really good Christian novel. Not overdone, not wishy-washy, the group "Gets Rolling" in this newest book.
