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

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just when you think there can't be any more stories about this family, Ms. Roby comes through with something fresh for the fans of this series to read about. In this episode of the Black family, Dillion Whitfield Black the secret son of Reverend Curtis Black is married to Raven and the pastor of a 1,000 member congregation that he wants to grow into a megachurch. He also is struggling with daddy issues and more that could destroy everything he has worked so hard for.Alicia, the daughter of Rev. Curtis Black, has left her father's congregation to join her brother Dillion's ministry, and he appoints her to be the chief operating officer. Also her husband Levi also a member has shown his loyalty to Dillion and by doing so, he is the chairperson of the church elder board. But Alicia is struggling with an issue from her past. Can she overcome it before it destroys her marriage to Levi?When Raven, the first lady of the New Faith Christian Center, reveals she wants to play a larger role in the ministry, Dillion is not interested in sharing and has to figure out a way to stop her. His decision doesn't sit well with Raven, and she is not happy.When you read a work by Kimberla Lawson Roby, you know you are going to get a quality written story with a message. This book tackles mental health when Alicia has issues dealing with the death of someone from a previous relationship. On a personal note, this part of the story struck home for me having been in a very painful relationship that ended badly, and I should have sought help. I could relate to this part of the story.This is a story for fans of the series, and I think you will like this installment because I did. If you are new to the series, make sure you read all the rest because the Blacks are a family that has real life stories to tell, and we are happy that Ms. Roby brings those stories to life. Read this book !!! (Linda)
