Summary: Review of Casting the First Stone
Review: I really enjoyed this book very much from the beginning to the end. I experience in my life time about priest who have it all but feel like it's not enough. That's why I could relate to this book. This book had a lot of love, distrust, and faith. Without faith in yourself and God you will not get far. I have had preachers approach me to talk to me while they are married. That hurted me a lot and still do this day I don't understand why when you have something good in your life your abuse it and you loose it. Thank you very much for writing this book and hopefully there are people out there who will wake up and use there head right.

Summary: SATAN UNDERCOVER
Review: This was the most exciting book I have read in a while. I could relate events in this book to stories I have heard from friends about the goings on in their churches. I tried desperately to put the book down last night, but after "Curtis got busted by the Deacon", I just had to find out what was going to happen next. I wonder if Ms. Roby will do a spin-off of "Casting the First Stone" to follow-up on Tanya and James? I'd really like to know how that worked or did not work. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait for the next novel.....

Summary: Kimberla's Done It Again!
Review: This book was a superb read! It is a must for all women especially women who are married to men in the ministry. It's a must for our "First Ladies". Kimberla out did herself this time. I have read all her books and I didn't think that they could get any better. Boy was I wrong! She does an exemplary job with the characters. She doesn't overload us with too many of them. She sticks to telling the story of the main characters which is filled with suspense, anger, humor, real life stories and thought provoking situations. It made me do some self evaulation and appreciate a God who loves me in spite of. This is a must read for all men and women. It's a page turner. I finished the book in two days. I highly reccommend this book. I just heard that her next one will be out in March 2001 . . .I don't know how I'll be able to wait that long. Keep up the good work Kimberla!

Summary: Wolves in sheep's clothing
Review: Kim Roby's books always touch my heart and make me think. This one touched my heart and soul. I could not put it down. We have all been in situations where we have been disillusioned by leaders and have lost our way and our faith and may have been taken advantage of by the "Preacher" or church folk. We discussed this last Sunday in my Sunday School Class - whether some of the evangelists we see on television are in it for the money. We all have to give an account of our actions to God. We have to learn as the character did in the book to worship and keep our faith in God and not man. If not we are going to lose our way for sure.I could not put this book down from sentence one. I kept thinking what is Curtis going to do next and he couldn't possibly get any worse. It is real life. People get caught up in money, sex,and power and will get the mentality you do as I say, not as I do and when you wake up it is too late. Look at the Henry Lyons situation, they still wanted to keep him as President even after he was found guilty. It is a MUST READ FOR EVERYONE! I even had some of my students to read it and I can see this happening in some of the churches in and around my community, we have to be ever prayerful. Tanya was indeed a strong black woman who always wanted to do what was right for her daughter and her and she kept praying through those dark ours. I loved that her friend Nicole supported her with whatever decision she made and did not interfere and say, "if I was you I would do this, etc.", James was a strong black man - a real man. Tanya's dad was great. Curtis, the devil, was a TRIP, I never knew what he was going to say or do next. There is always positive and negative in life and it was shown through this story. It was GREAT! I can't wait to see what the author comes up with in 2001!

Summary: Casting The First Stone
Review: "Casting The First Stone" was very realistic and also entertaining. I can certainly relate to the church situations addressed in this book. I found myself picking out parts of the story that coincided with real life incidents that we have experienced or others in the community. Ms. Roby really brought out the truth in this one. In my opinion, its one of the best book I have ever read and I highly recommend it.

Summary: Good Plot Amateurishly Written
Review: Roby has an interesting plot line, although it leans toward the predictable and sometimes turns preachy. Still, it's a good story with a logical plot and a significant message. Mrs. Roby has the potential to be a terrific writer, but she needs to develop her craft to reach beyond the amateur technique, sentence construction, and punctuation errors that plague her novel and distract from her story. Her natural ability provides a good outline, but her lack of knowledge in the art of telling a good story well proves to be a crippling flaw. In an interview with Mrs. Roby, she proudly said she had never attended a writing course or worked with a writing group. Investing herself in such opportunities for critique would polish her natural ability and challenge her to strive for excellence and craftsmanship. With the odds she's beaten already, what is there to fear from an opportunity to sharpen her skills?

Summary: EXCEPTIONAL WORK KIMBERLA !
Review: This was a excellent novel about the deceptions of the married christian couples who hold positions in churches and other organizations. It was very easy to feel as if you were apart of this story. This novel proves true the saying: "What so ever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." I would give this 10 stars if I could!

Summary: Wonderful Story Plot. Was good to the last page!
Review: this is a novel that i never thought i'll be able to pick up and just read straight through. ive been waiting for someone to write about how money doesnt make you a happy man. so to speak. its ok to have enough to be comfortable but not greedy. the main character were so strong that at one time i just wanted to jump up and say 'you go girl'. this is a book for everybody, man or lady, to see that money isnt power. you have to learn to love and enjoy what you have before its too late. the only thing you'll get out of for being as money hungry as curtis is being by yourself and miserable and believe me when i say curtis got what was coming to him!
