The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Decked OutĮast meets West across time and tradition as three young American women and their Indian immigrant mothers take first steps toward true sisterhood, shattering secrets and sharing joy and tears in Neta Jackson's After lots (and lots) of failures, Jodi begins to learn that God can use anything, even the messes we make, to accomplish His good purposes.Book review: Neta Jackson's *The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Decked Out* With so many burdens resting on her circle of sisters, Jodi fi nds herself trapped by the good-and bad-habit of trying to fi x everything and everyone. It's getting harder to see God in the everyday rat race of life, especially in the face of exhaustion. To top it all off, Jodi keeps saying yes-to everything. Not only are the Yada Yadas still recovering from the vicious racial attack on Mark, but Ruth and Ben's midlife pregnancy takes a dangerous turn, Avis's daughter and grandbaby show up unannounced, Florida's artistic son gets caught tagging, and Uptown is talking about merging with New Morning into one racially mixed church-raising anxiety and stress to new levels. Every day it seems that more blessings, problems, and everything in between crop up among her Yada Yada sisters, and their prayer list is getting out of control. Jodi Baxter is feeling overwhelmed, to say the least.

The Yada Yada Prayer Group is in trouble -and they're having a hard time getting out.
