One of my favorite thing about summer is this is the time that I get to read for pleasure. Don’t get me wrong I love school and I love reading and learning from textbooks. But after 16 weeks of non-stop non-fiction reading I love to get lost in the world of fiction. (You can read some of my reviews from last summer by visiting my old blog)
The book I have chosen to start my summer reading adventure comes from my own shelf. A dear friend gave me a bunch of books back in the fall and I haven’t had time to read it, so I guess it is time to dust off the cover and dive in.
Amazon.com gives the following summary of the book:
What do an ex-con, a former drug addict, a real estate broker, 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 even go to the Chicago Women's Conference--after all, being thrown together with five hundred strangers wasn't exactly my "comfort zone." And being placed in a prayer group of twelve women from such diverse backgrounds seemed completely awkward.
But something happened that weekend to make us realize we had to hang together. The "Yada Yada Prayer Group" was born, and we decided to meet regularly to pray for each other: knocking off each other's rough edges and learning to laugh and cry along the way! And 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.
Stay tuned for more reviews of this book and other books that I will read.
