With this dramatic spin that widens the scope of the prayer group from the 1st five books Neta Jackson inspires her readers to be all that God expects us to be!! Jodi and Denny set the example by reaching out to those at a nearby juvenile detention center following the pair's understanding that listening to the Holy Spirit telling them that their past was good, but now the challenge is to reach beyond their "safe group" to others outside that comfort zone. The sisters especially understand they must pray and welcome newcomers into their prayer group if they are to remain true to the Lord. The Yada sisters must grow and embrace the change of merging the Uptown Community with the New Morning Christian Church that potentially can make both stronger as neither would remain homogeneous. Each knows they must reaffirm their belief in the Lord, as God always brings a renewal of life and spirit out of the ashes of destruction. In book 6, the Yada Yada Prayer group realizes they have become complacent in their worship, with their families, and in their community. ![]()

Jude Coyne, semi-retired rock star and all around a-hole, has a thing for creepy stuff. ![]() There’s more than a bit of truth to the retail caution “Buyer Beware.” The idea that a suit could be haunted was also intriguing.

This isn’t to say you can’t do the “going to Hell and back” thing…well actually that is exactly what we are saying. Look, the whole going (or being sent) to Hell thing has been done. Oh, and the title? It comes in randomly a little over half-way through the book. Were there enough clichéd archetypes and motifs in that paragraph for you? That’s just scratching the surface.

A bad author, however, could have the most amazing idea, and make it seem second-rate drivel.
