The Devoted

The Bishop's Family, Book 3

By: Suzanne Woods Fisher

Narrated by: Rachel Botchan

Ruthie Stoltzfus longs to leave the Amish. Newcomer Patrick Kelly longs to join them. Are they both running from the life God wants them to live? Or will they find it together?

Bright, curious, and restless, Ruthie Stoltzfus loves her family but is stuck in a sea of indecision about her future: Should she stay Amish? Or should she leave? She's done all she can to prepare to go - passed the GED, saved her money - but she can't quite set her journey into motion.

Patrick Kelly is a young man on a journey of his own. He's come to Stoney Ridge to convert to the Amish and has given himself 30 days to learn the language, drive a buggy, and adapt to "everything Plain". Time, to Patrick, is of the essence. Every moment is to be cherished, especially the hours he spends with Ruthie, his Penn Dutch tutor.

Ruthie's next-door neighbor and cunning ex-boyfriend, Luke Schrock, is drawn to trouble like a moth to a flame. Rebellious, headstrong, and defiant, Luke will do anything to win Ruthie back - anything - and Patrick Kelly is getting in his way.

Best-selling author Suzanne Woods Fisher invites listeners back to Stoney Ridge for a story of dreams deferred and hopes fulfilled - complete with Fisher's signature twists that never fail to leave listeners delighted.

Great storyline as usual.

I loved the characters and the storyline. Suzanne Woods Fisher never disappoints. Heartwarming with life's lessons buried throughout.
Narrator was excellent. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Enjoyed all of this series of books

This author is very good at Showing us examples of love, forgiveness ,compassion, and grace. As I am reading the stories, I can feel God showing me how I can apply these things to situations in my own life. It’s very moving and uplifting. I love good fiction, but this is some thing better. Good job Suzanne!

thought provoking

Fantastic! Insightful!

This was such a thoughtful and insightful book! It represents what can go terribly wrong in a young life and how forgiveness can be God's hand in healing! we are challenged to bring God's peace and mercy into the priority in our lives.

Excellent!

This series was so wonderful. I have laughed out loud, shuttered with their sorrows, and rejoiced in God's wisdom. These books are full of faith, forgiveness, love, and that if we listen..we will hear that still small voice. God Bless!
