Description
Kimberla Lawson Roby discusses her book, “Too Much of a Good Thing.” She begins by introducing her main character Curtis Black, a philandering Baptist pastor who joins a new congregation after being kicked out of his old one. She talks about Curtis Black’s revolutionary ways of seeing a church as a corporation, and how he installs ATMs in his church. Roby describes that this book is a sequel to her novel, “Casting the First Stone.” She talks about how she started her own publishing company. Roby ends the interview by describing that she wrote this book after readers wrote to her publisher and asked for a sequel.
