Who Do I Lean On?

by Neta Jackson

Book Overview

You can only walk forward when you learn how to lean. Just months after her husband threw her out of their penthouse and sent their two sons away, Gabrielle Fairbanks is finally getting back on her feet. She has a job she loves at the homeless shelter, an apartment for her and the boys, caring friends, and even a new love interest. Best of all, an unexpected windfall has given her a brand-new dream--a House of Hope for homeless mothers and their children. Piece by piece, Gabby's new life is coming together--but the old one keeps dragging her back. First her husband Philip hints at a reconciliation...then hits her up for a loan to pay his gambling debts. And when Gabby tells him no, he makes a desperate move that puts them all in harm's way. How can she even think of embarking on a new venture when so much is up in the air Gabby is realizing that she needs something far greater than her own strength or even that of her friends. That to move forward, she must first lean on the only One who knows what the future holds.

Customer Reviews

LOVE this series!

I have to start out by saying that I am a BIG Yada Yada series fan! These books are amazing. Neta Jackson did not let up on this one either. Each book has it's own personality and keeps you interested with each page you turn. I finished this book just like I have every other Yada Yada that I have ever read. I was thinking, "I can't wait until the next book!" I hope you get hooked on this series as well. They are packed with God's grace, love, and much encouragement! Love These Books!

Neta Jackson has made me a pleasure reader

I hated to read for pleasure as a kid - and even an adult. However, when my sister gave me the first book in the Yada Yada Prayer Group series by Neta Jackson, I was hooked! The first series and now this one has given me a new found interest in reading for pleasure. The House of Hope Series is phenomenal and really hits you where you live. Thank you, Neta, for these wonderful series and helping me learn to love to read for fun. I cannot wait for book 4!

Highly Recommended!!!

I have become a big Neta Jackson fan and this book is fabulous!!! I would highly recommend the serise to any fan of the Christian "chick-lit" genre. I now have to read the Harry Bentley book while I paitently wait for book #4!!!

Who Do I Lean On

I enjoyed the book very much. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

entreating "Souledout" tale

Having come a long way from the homeless shelter, Gabby Fairbanks rejoices when she finally obtains custody of her sons (Paul and P.J.) from their dad and still her husband Philip. She plans to make sure they feel at home at the new apartment in Richmond Towers they are moving into. However, she is stunned with what she perceives is a betrayal by ex her husband Philip. He has run up exorbitant debts gambling and needs to pay them off immediately. He begs Gabby to give him the funds. Her Yada Yada prayer partner Jodi Baxter, her friend retired cop Harry Bentley offer her solace but not much practical advice besides not helping her husband as does Lee the lawyer who loves her. Gabby turns to God for guidance though her first inclination is to let Philip be punished especially when his actions threaten the House of Hope. The third Yada Yada House of Hope inspirational tale (see Where Do I Go? and Who Do I Talk to?) is an entreating story that Yada Yada fans will relish as Gabby has come so far. The cast is strong in particular the heroine who has difficult issues still to confront, but has the strength of being "Souledout" which enables her to lean on the Lord for help. Newcomers will enjoy this tale, but reading the first two entries of the House of Hope series will enhance the experience. Harriet Klausner
