Who Do I Talk To? by Neta Jackson

Wow! Neta Jackson continues to write solid fiction stories that draw the reader right into the main character’s life. I am getting connected to Gabby. She has a lot going on in her life right now. Her husband is acting like a fool, her sons are staying halfway across the country with their grandparents, her and her mother are living in a homeless shelter. Life is pretty rough right now. So who does Gabby talk to and turn to in her distress? She turns to her Father in heaven little by little. And God has a plan for Gabby Fairbanks; He has all along! If you have enjoyed the Yada Yada Prayer Group books, then you need to read this book and, of course, Where Do I Go?, the first book in this new series. Also, keep your eyes open for Harry Bentley’s Second Chance, which was written by Neta’s husband. I believe it is meant to be sort of like a companion volume to Where Do I Go?, but please don’t quote me on that.

Where Do I Go? by Neta Jackson

Gabby is a woman with a calling. She doesn’t know this, but she has one. She also has a husband and two sons. Her husband has a career plan for himself that only includes Gabby if she follows her part in his plan. What happens when Gabby steps outside of her husband’s plan into God’s plan? Have you heard the phrase, “It gets worse before it gets better?” Read along as Gabby faces struggles and difficulties in her marriage, her family, and her career. Read as she discovers truths she didn’t know were hers to have. If you enjoyed the Yada Yada Prayer Group books, you’ll want to read this and watch for your favorite Yada Yada sisters to appear. Ever asked “Where do I go from here?” Read Where Do I Go?, and you might get some answers.

The Yada Yada Prayer Group Series by Neta Jackson

This series of books is amazing! I actually had the first book checked out from the library a long (as in years, I think) time ago, but I never really got into it. Then I started listening to the books on CD on my way to work and “Wow” they were really, really good. I was drawn into the story of these women who meet up at a Chicago women’s conference where they are thrown randomly together into a prayer group. Women from many different backgrounds in many different circumstances. Real women! These characters jump off the page with authenticity. Jodi Baxter is the “main” character, and she comes through many trials (as do the other ladies) and lessons from God. She grows and is stretched in her faith. These stories lead you to want to keep reading and learn more about these women and from these women. I feel even more strongly after reading this series of books that God can use any means He wants to speak to His people, including Christian fiction. I would highly recommend these books to anyone wanting to really see how the power of prayer and friendship can change lives in unexpected ways. They are so good you won’t want to stop until the end, and then you’ll be sad that the adventure is over. Take a chance and get reading.
