And what is so delightful about the novel is that none of these women do this perfectly – in fact, they all slip up in one way or another. But the women in Yada Yada are honest people with real flaws but they love God with all their heart and they do their best to live as Christ lived. Many of my friends and acquaintances are not this way, but as a Christian I have personally encountered it time and time again so I can understand why non-Christians are turned off by the religion. So often in real life, I find Christians to be judgmental, hypocritical, and even discriminatory. What I most enjoyed about Yada Yada is the portrayal of Christian women that the book offers.
I finally got the chance to pick it up, and I’m happy that I did. I purchased this novel at a library book sale about a year ago when I was trying to find Christian fiction books that I’d enjoy (still trying, btw, if you have any recommendations). Jodi went to the conference thinking she’d have a full weekend experiencing Christ, and once the Yada Yada Prayer Group was born, she suddenly had eleven new sisters in Christ to call her friends. And after the weekend is over, these twelve women realize they have more in common than meets the eye and they agree to continue their prayer group through email and monthly meetings at one another’s homes. What she finds is a group of women, of different nationalities and experiences and backgrounds, who are to form a prayer group during the conference. When Jodi Baxter agrees to attend the Chicago Women’s Conference with her acquaintance, Avis Johnson, she doesn’t know what to expect.
