Traci Depree talks on her Writing Life blog about whether or not review copies are worth sending out to reviewers.
"Here's a recent question posed to me:
In the big picture, how important are review copies. With 150,000 (or whatever the latest number is) new books hitting the market each year, how many actually get reviewed? Of those reviews, how many result in sales?"

Click on the title to direct you to her blog and please add comments for her. My comment is on there and here it is:
"Good entry. My godfather owns a christian bookstore in south georgia. He says that most of his customers come to him and ask him what do you have that is Good? They know he is devoted to God's will and he wouldn't stock or recommend anything that isn't inspired. After growing up in that store and then later becoming a reviewer here in Atlanta. I believe that my goal isn't just to point out if a book is literary sound, but God Sound. Christian Fiction reviews--if this world was mine--must be about the message and whether or not the book satiates someone seeking spiritual guidance or God."
