Who is My Shelter by Neta Jackson

source: Amazon

A couple years ago now I discovered a book series that I instantly was hooked in to.  The series is called The Yada Yada Prayer Group.

There are seven books in this original series and I breezed through them in no time.  Naturally I was left wanting more.  I mean how could I not, I felt I had gotten "to know" these characters and I wasn't ready for the story to be over!

I was so happy when Neta Jackson released the next spin-off book series called A Yada Yada House of Hope.  The fourth installment of the series just came out on March 1 and I picked it up this past weekend.

Let's just say I started the book last night and when I finally turned the light off at a little after 2am I was left wondering when the next one was coming out.  Horrible I know!

Naturally the book ended with a lot of things left unfinished.  What happened to Lucy?  What about Gabby/Phillip/Lee?  Do Josh and Edesa adopt Gracie?  So that pushed me to Neta Jackson's website.  Imagine my surprise when I read that book 4 was the LAST book in this spin-off series.  WHAT?  NO!  But then I heard that she is working on another spin-off series and while that makes it better I can only hope that some (if not all) of main characters return and we find out what happened since "Who is my shelter?" concluded.

Now I will just wait for a release date of the new series and also pick up the parallel books (for the House of Hope series) that was written by Dave Jackson.

Although I would love it if some how these Yada Yada books were picked up for a mini-series or even some movies.  Oh how I would enjoy that! {dreaming}

disclaimer: I purchased all of these books on my own and just wanted to pass along a good Christian fiction series that I know others would enjoy.  The thoughts expressed in the review are 100% mine!

A Time to Dance by Karen Kingsbury

The other day I received my recent selection from the Book Sneeze program.  What did I choose?  Well this time I chose something I love, fiction!

John and Abby's love story is one of a kind.  People look up to them as it appears their marriage is so strong and will endure forever.  But will it?  They both had a relationship with God that they deemed as strong but lately they have both drifted.  Can they rediscover their relationship with God? Are they listening to God when he speaks to them? What can their children, and complete strangers teach them about love and fighting for what they want?

The way that Karen Kingsbury tells this story had me from the first couple pages.  The wording, the descriptions, the storytelling in general, all of it was so easy to read, understand, and picture.  I absolutely loved it.  If you are anything like me you will get drawn into this family and their story.  You will not want to put it down because you will want to know what happens next.   Then when you finish "A Time to Dance" you will want to start reading the next book entitled "A Time to Embrace".

Would I recommend this book?  Absolutely!  As a matter of fact, I have already mentioned it to one of my friends. :)  So if you are a fan of fiction, christian fiction, or Karen Kingsbury, consider picking this book up.  It is a wonderful story and it reminds us that God is always speaking to us.  We just need to open our heart, quiet our minds and listen.
