A Sinful Calling

By: Kimberla Lawson Roby

Narrated by: Peter Jay Fernandez

Dillon hadn't been called by anyone. He'd called himself and he wasn't ashamed of it. But no good can come from . . .

Two years ago, to everyone's surprise, Dillon Whitfield Black, the secret son of Reverend Curtis Black, boldly moved back home, married a woman named Raven, decided he was going to become a minister, and then founded a church right in the center of his living room. Today he's pastor of a 1,000-plus-member congregation, and new members are joining weekly. Sadly, behind closed doors, Dillon is far from being a saint. Dillon has become more like the man his father was thirty years ago-consumed with money, power, and lots of women. His family may have let bygones be bygones, but they continue to keep their distance.

Not Alicia, though. This daughter of Curtis Black joins Dillon's congregation, leaving her father's church behind. The family has forgiven Alicia for marrying Levi Cunningham, the former drug dealer she had an affair with, but once Alicia realizes they will never fully accept Levi, she decides to see her family less and less. She and Levi are truly happy, however, guilt from her betrayal of Phillip and its aftermath casts a shadow over their wedded bliss.

But when Raven decides she wants a higher position in the church and Alicia hides a devastating secret, the entire family is affected in ways they don't see coming. In the end, no one will be able to trust anyone . . . and for very good reason.

Review on a sinful calling

Excellent, I don't usually listen to books, however it made me listen to almost to the end. Great ending

Good but predictable

I liked it but it was predictable. I think I'm over The Curtis Black series.

LOVE

I love all the Curtis Black Series. Kimberla Roby Lawson you rock and you never let me down. Thank you so much. May God continue to bless you in your ministry.

Wonderful read!!th

This book had me laughing, crying and cursing. Dylan had some issues and he still resented his dad but I'm soooo glad at the way things ended. This was definitely a good read.

Loved it!

This book was phenomenal as are all Ms.Roby's books! I love the way she incorporates the bible I can't wait to read the next one!
