Publisher Description
Prayer is a powerful spiritual weapon. And the Yada Yadas are about to learn just how strong it really is.
The women of the Chicago-born Yada Yada Prayer Group have developed a strong sisterly bond. They’ve had a wild year full of joy, sorrow, and a healthy dose of laughter. Lots of laughter.
But just when life gets comfortable, things get shaken up. The sisters don’t expect trouble to crop up so soon after the exuberant wedding of Yada Yada member Avis Johnson. But it happens, and sorrow meets their joy head–on.
It’s the kind of sorrow that shakes up their whole town, their whole group, their lives. And it’s not just sorrow—it’s fear and hate and a whole lot of tension. A white supremacy hate group targets a local university and viciously attacks Nony’s husband, barely sparing his life.
With their loved one balancing between life and death, the mismatched sisters get tough—really tough—and their prayer group becomes much more than just a Bible study. It becomes a lifeline.

"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 love with an older women but a black women who is his mothers friend. I can't wait to see where that goes. I love seeing a seasoned marriage blossom and knowing that love can really last through the growing years of kids and careers if we stay focused on God."

" On audio. Yet another entertaining one - I really like this series, I'm not exactly sure why, but I just love hearing what will happen next. "

" 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. "
