A group of 12 extremely diverse women, assigned to a prayer group at a women's conference, become the best of friends as they support each other through the challenges and crises in their lives.

I've just finished reading this book, and am still snifling. Seriously, if I could have rated it higher than a 5 I would have - I just couldn't put it down. It's a very, very powerful book about the blessings of friendships, the importance of prayer, and the joy of trusting God in all things. It made me laugh, it made me cry, but most of all it made me want to turn my life around and get closer to God - not just in words but in actions too - to rediscover the power of prayer.

Fortunately I know the rest of the series is just as wonderful. I'm in for a treat :)

Reread 2012: Still as wonderful as ever. Jodi's attitude towards beer does annoy me, but it's a minor nitpick in an otherwise terrific book. And fortunately I don't recall it reappearing in the later books.
