I just read for four and a half hours straight! I love that feeling! I finished Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Real. It's book 3 in the series. Since one of my kiddos got me a Barnes and Noble gift card, I just may have to go pick up book 4 tomorrow. So I should share what I am learning from this series of fiction Christian novels, without giving away everything that happens for those of you that might decide to read the series someday.
The narrator, Jodi, and I have a lot in common. We've never done anything "horrible" and would probably be considered as righteous in the eyes of many people who don't really know us. At the end of the first book Jodi does something that fits the "horrible" category. From the experience she learns what her thought and prayer life is really like. And she isn't too fond of it.
Some time over the past four years I discovered a side of me that I never knew existed. It was something that wanted to understand everything to the point of making sure that it went right. I took all the feelings of being run over, made fun of or laughed at, and not understanding and made them into a monster of anger that showed itself in the face of anxiety and control.
But like Jodi, I am learning that I worship a mighty God! He is in charge of my life and He is changing me. He is making me someone who wants to be close to HIM, who depends on HIS grace and HIS mercy. I cannot do life without Him. He is my daily bread. My momently bread. He is giving me a new chance at life.

Was book 3 as good as the others?
I think you are going to be just fine in this new chance at life. :) Being aware and wanting God to change you are the cornerstones.
Yes, as the story continues! You will love it! I left feeling "all girly" inside after reading it.
