The story behind The Bishop’s Son goes back to the days when I first decided to write Amish fiction. Some of my writer friends were very surprised. They had questions. Had I examined the Amish faith? Was I sure they were “true” Christians? What about the fact that they don’t evangelize? Aren’t we called to […]
