Summary: It's About Time!
Review: I cannot believe it has taken this long for someone to finally tell the truth about these jack-leg ministers! This book should be "required" reading for congregations around the country. Congrats, Ms. Roby for doing a great job, and telling a story that was long overdue.

Summary: 'Let the church say Amen'
Review: Kimberla Roby has set her place in contemporary fiction as a 'master storyteller' with 'Casting the First Stone'.This novel jumps out at the reader and grabs you from page one. The African-American church as a time honored institution, very rarely comes under scrutiny. Roby reminds us that there is a distinction between the establishment and the man who runs the establishment. This novel is not just another sistah-girl piece of fiction. The characters are strong and revealing. The underlying message, though subtle, will rock the reader to his foundation. This novel is an enjoyable story with substance. I highly recommend it as a selection for any bookclub.

Summary: Highly recommend...
Review: High five and some for Kimberla. You are a gifted author. "Casting the First Stone" is a well written true to life story. I love this novel just as I did "Behind Closed Doors" and "Here and Now". Rev. Black was just too much. How long did he think he could continue to do the work of the devil? Over and over Tanya was giving her husband a chance. He took his family and church for granted. The discussion questions are really good. I know that everyone can relate to the novel. Kimberla, I wish you all the best. Be Blessed!

Summary: What an incredible story!
Review: WOW! I'm still trying to catch my breath. Casting The First Stone is a must read for every human being interested in taking some time out of their day in, day out world, to sit back and let Kimberla Lawson Roby steal their mind and body and take them into the lives of Tanya and Curtis Black. This story is not only about greed and betrayal but about how often, too many of us lose sight of just how precious life is and what's most important to us. Often when we do come to terms and realize that faith and committment are valuable, many times it's too late. Everyone who reads this latest selection, will know or have heard of many if not all of the characters in this page turner. Kimberla Lawson Roby is such a wonderful story tell and I commend her on her choice of subject matter for her latest best seller and look forward to her next work of fiction. For those of you who are not familiar with this great author, you are indeed missing out on some of the most heart felt works of fiction to hit our 21st century. Bookclubs.........you will lose sleep over trying to finish this one!

Summary: Content that was out of this world
Review: I just couldn't put this book down when I first started to read it. I fact I finished it about 12 hours ago. I stayed up untiol 1:30am to finish it. The storyline was exceptional and the charaters were so real. I really felt for Tayna who was going through a lot in her marriage to Curtis. I also know what it is like to go through church crisises so the point really hit home. I can't say enough about this book except to say in the words of Siskel and Ebert-'Two thumbs up!' Way to go Mrs. Lawson-Roby.

Summary: Couldn't Put it Down!
Review: I was captivated by this book from the first page and couldn't put it down. The storyline is believeable and it was interesting to see how Tanya was going to deal with the situation that she found herself in. Of course, this is just one of the many reasons that I was intrigued with the book. I knew that Curtis was going to get was coming to him, it was just a matter of when and by whom! I have already e-mailed my friends about this book and told them that they must put it on their list to read. Keep up the good work Kimberla Lawson Roby - I look forward to your next publication.

Summary: Somewhat disappointed
Review: I read Here and Now first then Behind Closed Doors, I wasn't that enthused about Casting the First Stone. Many of the chapters seemed to be long and boring and reiterating the same dialogue. However I do comend Kim on choosing a very touchy topic, but her approach wasn't that clever.
