    Yada Yada and the Power of Prayer Will Knock Your Socks Off Award-winning author Neta Jackson assembles an unforgettable cast of characters in her remarkably touching story

    NASHVILLE, TENN. – In the masterfully written The Yada Yada Prayer Group (Integrity Publishers), award-winning author Neta Jackson sculpts an amazingly touching work that chronicles the journey toward Christian sanctification and growth in Christ of the twelve women in Jodi’s prayer group. They are of completely different backgrounds and life experiences, but they persevere through their fears, their anger and their misgivings to discover the awesome power that prayer has to change the lives of those who seek the will of the Father. God uses their relationship to each other and their commitment to prayer to sand down the splintered edges of their souls and move them into a deeper, more meaningful life not only with each other, but, most importantly, with Him.

    Looking into the mirror through the eyes of the women of Yada Yada, readers will be filled with a deep yearning to see the outstretched hand of God, summoning them into a deeper relationship with Him through the power of prayer and to experience the gift of Grace He offers to everyone who calls upon His name.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Story Line~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New to one of Chicago's most diverse neighborhoods, long-time Christian Jodi Baxter wonders how in the world she got herself into such a mess. Why would her boss, the beautiful, classy Avis Johnson, an African-American member of Jodi’s church and someone Jodi respects and admires, invite her to attend a women’s conference sponsored by a coalition of Chicago-area churches--mostly black? Jodi was, after all, white, and Avis doesn’t know her very well at all. Besides, Jodi always feels like sport socks with high heels – never in a class with the likes of Avis Johnson.

    All the same, Avis wanted her to go and while Jodi was uncomfortable, she was flattered just enough to make her think she wanted to go. But looking now into the faces of the eleven strange women who had been thrown together in a small prayer group at the conference, Jodi couldn’t seem to remember a single reason why she ever thought this was a good idea.

    Everyone knows someone like Jodi. She is the one who is middle-class, happily married, raised in the church, has two adorable kids and a great husband. She is Ms. “of course everything is OK” good girl. But Jodi is about to learn that she, too, is just a sinner saved by grace.
