Is Becoming a Christian Worth Losing His Family? For Jamal and Hameem, The Game starts out as a fun and daring contest between the two young boys to see who could collect more items belonging to the ‘enemy’ the French soldiers who are keeping Morocco from gaining its independence.

The Game becomes more risky when Jamal begins collecting pictures from the Christian missionary Maude Cary, whom he meets in the marketplace. Surely a whole set of the pictures must be worth enough points to win The Game!

The Yada Yada Prayer Group

What do an ex con, a former addict, a college student, and a married mother of two have in common? Nothing, or so I thought. Who would have imagined that God would make a group as mismatched as ours the closest of friends? I almost didn’t go to the Chicago Women’s Conference after all, being thrown together with five hundred strangers wasn’t exactly my ‘comfort zone.’ When I was assigned to a prayer group of twelve women at the conference, I wasn’t sure what to think. There was Flo, an outspoken ex drug addict; Ruth, a Messianic Jew who could smother mother you to death; and Yo Yo, an ex con who wasn’t even a Christian! Not to mention women from Jamaica, Honduras, South Africa practically a mini United Nations. We certainly didn’t have much in common. But something happened that weekend to make us realize we had to hang together. So the ‘Yada Yada Prayer Group’ decided to keep praying for each other via e mail, and when our personal struggles got too intense for cyberspace, we decided to meet together on Sunday nights. Talk about a rock tumbler! knocking off each other’s rough edges, learning to laugh and cry along the way. But when I faced the biggest crisis of my life, God used my newfound girlfriends to help teach me Jodi Baxter, longtime Christian ‘good girl’ what it means to be just a sinner saved by grace.

The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Down

A robbery, a lynching, and a mourning mother shakes up the Yada Yada Prayer Group.

I had never felt so violated! The Yada Yada Prayer Group was ‘gettin down’ with God in prayer and praise one night when a hero*in crazed woman barged into my house, demanded our valuables, and threatened us with a 10 inch knife a knife that drew blood.

We wondered if we’d ever get back to normal after this terrifying experience. I assumed we would although ‘normal’ doesn’t usually describe the twelve of us mismatched women anyway. After all, we’d started praying together at the Chicago Women’s Conference last spring, and we’d been through a lot already as spiritual sisters. This was just one more hurdle to conquer, right?

But then a well meaning gesture suddenly incited a backlash of anger in the group, forcing us to confront generations of racial division, pain, and distrust and stretching our friendships to the limit. Initially I thought, ‘Surely I, Jodi ‘Good Girl’ Baxter, am not responsible for other people’s sins am I?’ But a shocking confrontation in my third grade classroom forced me to face my own accountability, and God used the Yada Yada Prayer Group and my own husbands, of all people! to show me what true forgiveness really is.

The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Real

The Yada Yadas thought they had a handle on forgiveness, but it seems God has them on a crash course to an even deeper level. After everything the Yada Yadas had been through in the past eight months, I told God I could sure use a little ‘dull and boring’ in the new year! But that was before Leslie ‘Stu’ Stuart moved in upstairs. Ms. Perfect herself and me Jodi Baxter living in the same two flat? A recipe for collision. Then Delores Enriquez’s son Jose wanted to throw my Amanda a quinceanera a coming out party, Mexican style and they’re only fifteen! At least Bandana Woman, who held up our Yada Yada Prayer Group at knife point last fall, was safely locked up in prison…
or so I thought. We visited her, like the Bible says; even sent her something for Christmas. But then she ends up back in our face. I mean, how far is forgiveness supposed to go? I guess I should have realized that with eleven Yada Yada sisters as diverse as a bag of Jelly Bellies, life would always be unpredictable. All I know is that the longer we Yada Yada pray together, the more ‘real’ things are getting, not only with each other but with God. Dull and boring? Not a chance.

The Yada Yada Prayer Journal

The Yada Yada Prayer Journal is the result of requests from thousands of women who have come to love the characters and the experiences of The Yada Yada Prayers Group. This smartly designed companion book included thought provoking quotes from the three novels, with related scriptures and nuggets for life application along with blank pages for your own thoughts and prayers.

The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Tough

In Book 4 of The Yada Yada Prayer Group series, Neta Jackson takes the prayer group to an even deeper level. They ve been together a whole year, and so many good things are happening! But that’s just when the Enemy knows to attack when our guard is down. Suddenly everything seems to be falling apart: Nony s family is in crisis, Jodi s teenagers seem out of control, Stu s new housemate makes her crawl the walls and Chandra discovers that money can t solve all her problems, and sometimes even creates new ones. Add an unplanned pregnancy to the mix and the Yada Yada sisters realize they need to get tough. They ve entered the War Zone, and this is spiritual warfare. Will the Yada Yadas buckle under this new crisis of faith?

The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Caught

For the Yada Yadas, gettin’ caught up in troubles isn’t the problem; it’s how to get free. Only weeks ago, we Yadas toughened our prayer knees when one of our own was the victim of a vicious racial attack. Now it seems each household is being thrown into even bigger and badder circumstances. It especially worries me, Jodi Baxter, because I’m a fixer by nature, and the prayer list is getting out of control…
Ruth and Ben are caught up in an unplanned pregnancy in their fifties! Chanda is deluded by the glitter of her lottery dream come true. Florida wants to move her family, hoping to leave trouble behind, but it looks like it may catch up to her anyway. And I’m finding that even good things like prayer group can consume me in no time flat. If there is an upside, it’s that all this trouble is revealing the subtle lies we Yadas believe about God, ourselves, each other, and life. Maybe our best hope is to catch on to what God’s doing and catch on quick! before the enemy can take any prisoners. That’d be a freedom worth celebrating. And celebrating is what my spiritual sisters and I do best.

The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Rolling

A devastating fire wakes up the Yada Yadas to a new reality: God is on the move.

What I’d like to know is, why does God keep rearranging my comfort zone? It could have something to do with my Yada Yada prayer sisters, who aren’t afraid to get in each other’s faces and tend to expect big things from God.

But to move forward, sometimes we have to let go of what’s behind. In spite of the loss of two dear friends. In spite of the breakup of a teenage love. In spite of the curse of HIV. In spite of prison time hanging over the head of a beloved child. In spite of fire consuming the hopes of those who have nothing.

Yet out of the ashes, God is doing a new thing! It’s time for the Yadas to press on, pray on, and get rolling!

The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Decked Out

From Thanksgiving and Christmas to rolling in the New Year, the Yada Yadas are ‘decked out’ to celebrate the holidays!

Turkey dinners, tree trim*ming, and decking the halls it’s that time of year again! And I, Jodi Baxter, can’t wait to celebrate. My kids are coming home for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then all of us Yadas are getting decked out for a big New Year’s party.

But God’s idea of ‘decked out’ might just change the nature of our party plans. A perplexing encounter with a former student, a crime that literally knocks me off my feet, a hurry up wedding, and a child who will forever change our family…
it’s times like these that I really need my prayer sisters.

This holiday season, we Yada Yadas are learning that no one can out celebrate God. So let’s get this party started!

Living Together in a World Falling Apart

Living Together in a World Falling Apart The classic ‘handbook on Christian community,’ with updated reflections By Dave and Neta Jackson When Living Together in a World Falling Apart was first published in 1974, tensions in society an unpopular war, racial divisions, fearful economics, the seeming futility of ‘success,’ and widespread alienation were not addressed in most churches. Racism still thrived, worship meant three hymns and you’re out, and relationships had deteriorated to weekly handshakes. But many believed based on New Testament descriptions of the early church that this couldn’t be all God planned for his people. These restless souls eagerly read about Dave and Neta Jackson’s personal search as they experimented with household living and took a road trip visiting the crop of emerging Christian communities around the country. Written in a breezy, candid manner, LIVING TOGETHER became not only a bestseller and classic ‘handbook on Christian community,’ but provided perhaps the only sociological snapshot of the many Christian communities from that era. Now, because many conditions in church and society are repeating themselves, interest in Christian community is reviving whether through small groups, house churches, the emerging church movement, the new monasticism, or among Christians experimenting with communal living as a way to be more faithful, effective, and connected. This updated edition contains the original text of LIVING TOGETHER as well as many of the Jacksons’ personal reflections and evaluations after living in Christian community for over 25 years, thereby providing nearly 30 percent new material.

On Fire For Christ: Stories Of Anabaptist Martyrs, Retold From Martyrs Mirror

The stories of 15 Anabaptist martyrs are retold by Dave and Neta Jackson from Martyrs Mirror. These stories, including those of Michael Sattler, Elizabeth Dirks, and Dirk Willems, reflect a cross section of the thousands of men and women who lost their lives because of their faith during the 16th century. The storytelling perspective varies: sometimes from the martyr’s point of view or that of a friend or relative, sometimes that of a child or bystander;or even the executioner or betrayer. The martyrs come alive through these stories and their witness for Christ inspires us. Discussion questions focus on present day meaning making this a valuable tool for study groups.
