Title: The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Tough
Author: Neta Jackson
Genre: Christian fiction
Rating: 5/5
# pages: 366
Date read: October 2008, June 2009, July 2012, July 2020

The Yada Yadas have grown close in the past year, but they're about to learn the real meaning of togetherness.

With a wedding, an early parole, and two baptisms in the lake, everything is feeling pretty great. But without warning, lots of little things become big problems. When a white supremacy hate group targets a local university, the group's own diversity almost becomes a liability. A vicious attack on Noni's husband forces the Yadas to get tough-and fight back together.


It gets difficult finding new things to say about this series, because each book is 'more of the same' - but in a good way! It touches me, it moves me, it makes me laugh, it makes me cry, and most importantly - it challenges me. I need to take a page from these books and get my prayerlife up to snuff.

I liked how this book had everybody involved - not just the Yadas, but their families as well. Josh is growing up to be an amazing guy, and I look forward to reading more about him in the next books. I'm looking foward to seeing more of Becky's growth as well.

Title: The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Caught
Author: Neta Jackson
Genre: Christian fiction
Rating: 4.5/5
# pages: 401

For the Yada prayer sisters, gettin' caught up in troubles isn't the problem; it's how to get free.

Ruth and Ben are caught up in an unplanned pregnancy-in their fifties! Chanda is deluded by the glitter of her lottery dream come true. Florida wants to move her family, hoping to leave trouble behind, but it looks like it may catch up with her anyway. Avis is torn between honoring her new husband and helping her abused adult daughter, who keeps running home to Mama.

If there's an upside, it's that all this trouble reveals the subtle lies the Yadas believe about God, themselves, each other, and life.


Two Yada Yada books read in as many days. Somehow this does not surprise me one bit. I think "Gets Caught" is the weakest of the 5 I've read so far, but that just means it's a little less fantastic than the others. I still loved it, and know I'll be spending the next several days 'trapped' in the atmosphere and wanting to get hold of the last two books.

Neta Jackson makes me feel like I know these people, and that I'm right there next to them. Can't wait to see what happens with Edesa and Josh, and I hope the lessons Jodi learns will stick with me too.
