Publisher's summary

The Yada Yada Prayer Group seems invincible—until tension and distrust shake its very foundation.

Jodi Baxter is slowly recuperating from a horrific car accident, but before she’s fully recovered, other problems arise within the Yada Yada Prayer Group—big problems. The turmoil starts when a heroin-addicted woman charges into a prayer meeting with a knife and isn’t afraid to use it.

Things really take a turn for the worse when grim accusations are made against Jodi’s husband. Racial division, pain, and pride are tearing this close-knit group of women apart, and Jodi isn’t sure if she and her spiritual sisters will be able to survive the mess.

The Yada Yadas are forced to get down to the nitty-gritty in their relationships and in their prayers. But is forgiveness possible—not just of their closest friends . . . but also of their enemies?

Recipes and a discussion guide are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

I love this series

Have read this series multiple times. Inspiring novels and people. Will read it again soon.

Unpredictable. I love the story lines and it kept me engaged and wanting the narrative to continue and not end.

Narrator. I understand the perspective from which was written (which i felt was perfect)I loved it for the first book but would like to have heard the diffent ethnicities narrate the next series.

Even better than expected

I had recently joined an international prayer group based on this book after moving to a small town. God answered so many prayers. After a while I was intrigued to read about how the group came about. I’m newly inspired! It is a heartwarming, faith affirming series. Wholesome in language, not naive to worldly matters, giving hope, with the sweet ability to make you laugh in some places.
The narrator is gifted and making the characters come uniquely to life.
I haven’t enjoyed a book let alone a complete series like this one.
That said, if you’re an agnostic or seeker, this may give you a glimpse into Christianity.
If you’re an atheist, this may not be for you - but don’t take my word for it ;-)

What happened to Barbara Rosenblatt's narration?

As soon as I joined Audible, I started looking for my beloved Yada Yada series I first enjoyed on CDs from the public library. I was delighted to find them recently, only with a new narrator. Barbara Rosenblatt, the original narrator I remember, perfectly captured the voices and accents of the diverse group of women portrayed in this series. This narrator is all over the place. The Jamaican accent is so over the top as to be ludicrous, black and white characters sound the same, but with a touch of a Southern accent that comes and goes randomly. By far the worst, however, is the accent of the South African character, Nonnie, which is cringeworthy. She sounds like a Southern belle who was brought up in New Zealand! Nonnie's beautiful prayers, full of scripture, rendered in this grating "accent", lose their majesty and power to inspire. please, Audible, do better!
