Sometimes the person you most need is the one least like you. Kathryn Davies is a bright young woman from a prominent Phoenix family. But after making a leap of faith at a Christian music fest, dropping out of med school, and moving to inner city Chicago, her family all but disowns her. When Kat discovers Souled Out Community Church, she longs to become a part of the multicultural church family. But her tendency to immediately say whatever she's thinking steps on the toes of nearly everyone she meets especially Avis Douglass. Avis has a strong faith, is the principal of one of Chicago's highest performing elementary schools, and is a founding member of Souled Out. But the country's economic downturn has thrown both her and her husband's jobs in question. And Avis hasn't heard from her youngest daughter in months an estrangement that gnaws at her every day. Where is God in this? Kats flamboyant zeal for living a radical Christian life is a stark contrast to Advise more reserved faith. But in Gods timing, the two women discover they need each other in ways neither of them expected.… (plus d'informations)

Well, I may be the crazy one around here but I had never heard of Neta Jackson before I found her book Stand by Me on Booksneeze! I really enjoyed this book but it took me a few chapters to get into it. It starts with a college student at a music festival in the midwest where she finds Jesus! This makes her decide to change the course of her future, which her parents aren't very happy about.

Kat, the college student, and some of her friends start attending Souledout Community Church. Avis, a middle aged praise and worship leader, who is an elementary principal, is one of the first people the group meets. Avis has things going on in her life that Kat is unaware of (mostly because Avis apears to have it all together during praise & worship time) and there are things in Kat's life that Avis is not aware of. I found myself scolding Avis for her treatment of the young group. This made me take a good hard look at myself and what I think about other people. You know, judging...?

Neta had written the Yada-Yada Prayer group books! I DID NOT know that! They are on my Kindle! So I will be checking out more of her writings in the future.
