Summary: Ms. Roby Has "A WORD."
Review: Casting the First Stone is sermonic without being "preachy". Ms. Roby is a gifted writer and delivers a page-turning novel that will leave the reader with something to think about. ALL of Ms Roby's novels are excellent. However, this one is a little different in approach and execution of her subject matter. In the beginning, it seems that she hesitates as if though unsure as to whether or not she should be writing about religious folks "acting out"... but do stay tuned... because she soon drops the over editorializing of her characters actions and starts readily dealing with the depth of their individual issues. Ms. Roby is AWESOME and I look forward to her next work.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent book!!
Review: "Casting the First Stone" is an excellent book!! The characters in the book are very realistic. Although this is a fictional story, any reader should be able to relate. This story also depicts that even a pastor of a church is not beyond mistakes. The story also shows that the congregation of any church should not idolize the pastor, but should worship God. Did Curtis have a conscious? His downfall was inevitable. It was good to know that Tanya found happiness with James. Keep them coming, Kimberla!!!

Summary: Wolves in sheep's clothing!
Review: Ms. Roby's book Casting the First Stone was a page turner. She bought to life real issues that are affecting the black church community everyday. While I was reading I couldn't help but think that there are a lot of Tanya's in the world. The Tanya's of the world are woman who find it hard or impossible to get out of abusive relationships. After all this man did to her it took her more than a little while to finally get the courage to leave the marriage behind. I admired her character and integrity in the beginning of the book. However, towards the end she was just as guilty as Curtis of infidelity. The one thing that I can say is that I am glad she finally put one foot in front of the other and kept going.

Now for Curtis. This man represents all that I find vile and nasty in any man, but especially a man who was "called" to the ministry. He was a liar, maanipulator, and just downright fraud! There almost seemed to be no limits to his self-destructive ways. The fact that he kept blaming all the wrong in his life on the "devil" was just too much. Then he had the nerve to get up on Sunday and preach to thousands of people on how they should be living for God. I found him to be just too funny because he was just so unbelievable. Everytime he did something else I kept saying to myself "oh no he didn't". The characters in this book were real, and they showed the whole range of emotions that take place when a relationship is just beyond repair. I think it will also remind Christians of the fact that we must always be aware of wolves in sheep's clothing. I truly feel that if you pick up this book you will not be disappointed. Ms. Roby has bought to the light an issue that definitely needs to be discussed. Congratulations Ms. Roby on a job well done !

Summary: Wonderful, just wonderful!
Review: This book kept me captivated. The unfortunate part is that there are people in the church just like this. I, too, agree that this needs to be presented in an open forum at every church. I was entertained throughout this book. It brought real church issues to the forefront. It is definitely a must read! Good job, Kim.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fiction with Real Life Situations
Review: A friend of mine allowed me to borrow this book around 3:00 p.m. on a Wednesday. I completed the book around 10:57 a.m. on Thursday. I could not put it down. This is the best fiction book I have read in a long time. Kim L. Roby has written a fiction book with real life situations. A novel which many people can relate to. This is what causes you not to be able to put the book down. It's truly more than fiction, it is reality. This book is a must for your bookshelf.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Casting the First Stone
Review: Every man and woman can relate to this novel. Whether they have been in the same or similar situation. This book will bring tears to your eyes and fill your heart with laughter.

I haven't read a book that struck me with so much force in years. It will make you think about it when you're not reading it. You'll wonder what is going to happen at all times. You'll find yourself angry for being interrupted. And when it's all over, you will be saying, "Now why won't they make a movie of this book."

Have fun reading.

Sincerely, Sherry McCreary

Summary: MONEY AND GREED
Review: This book is an excellent portrayal and I agree with Tray when he said that every church needs to read this and have an open discussion. Although, this is a fictional book, its sad to say, but things like this are real typical in churches throughout America. Kimberla made this an interesting and very entertaining story with a twist and spice in it. It kept you on your toes, and I could barely put the book down at my job. Creative piece of work for men and women to pick up and just read. Great work, Kimberla.

Rating: 5 stars
