The tone of Rome Sweet Home is kind, gentle, committed, and pious, but is also aggressive and one-sided. The book has a kind tone because it has a seriously Christian veneer. Both Kimberly and Scott are clearly kind to their opponents and express a Christian love for all those they encounter. The book is not rude or harsh. The book has a gentle tone because it shies away— - particularly in Kimberly's portions of the book—from negative and sharply condemnatory language. It also avoids bombast and hyperbole, unlike many other similar tales of conversion.
