No One Is Ever Too Old to Love Again

Full of faith, hope, and romance, this new series takes you into the Heart of Amish country.

Simon Graber became a widower and a bishop early in life. His focus is solely on his very close-knit Old Order Amish community—not entertaining the idea of marriage, despite what many of the elders think. When sickness comes to Cherry Grove, Kentucky, Simon reaches out into the next community for help. But help is beginning to look a lot like a second chance when Stella Schmucker agrees to offer her vast herbal knowledge to the sick. Can it be that these two, who have been too busy serving others to entertain the idea of love, have met at just the perfect time for an unlikely courtship?

The Heart of the Amish Series Also Includes:
The Flower Quilter by Mindy Steele
Ruth’s Ginger Snap Surprise by Anne Blackburne
The Quilt Room Secret by Lisa Jones Baker
Mary’s Calico Hope by Anne Blackburne

I’m not one to read Amish fiction but I was captivated by the premise within the blurb. The book did not disappoint. It was nice to see an older couple leading honorable lives despite going through tragedies. The romance was delightful and I adored the characters.

Review of Mindy Steele's new release, "Courting an Amish Bishop"

Mindy Steele's latest book, "Courting an Amish Bishop", which is book number four in Barbour Publishing's "Heart of the Amish" series, released April 1. I got my copy in the mail shortly thereafter, and gobbled it up in just a couple reading sessions!

It was that good!

The book features Stella, an herbal healer living her independent life on a hillside in the woods with her silver lab. She's doing very well, treating the people in her Amish community and delivering the occasional baby.

Then influenza hits the nearby Amish community, and her help is needed there. She goes without hesitation to do what she can.

That's when she meets Simon, a very attractive widower with a teenage son Stella falls for right away. In fact, she falls for Simon's whole family -- and maybe for Simon, too. Then she finds out he's the bishop.

Why is that a problem? Read on to find out!

I highly recommend this book.

A sweet story of a broken hearted Bishop afraid to love again and Stella a herb doctor and midwife who was raised with little food and less love. She lives alone until her house is destroyed while she is helping the bishop’s flock from the flu. Can they allow themselves to feel worthy of love and open their hearts to it? I received this as an ARC to read and leave my honest review.

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2025
Mindy Steele turns the premise of a typical Amish bishop imparting Amish wisdom on its head with Simon Graber as an Amish Bishop courting “Dok” Stella Schmucker in the novel, Courting An Amish Bishop.

Bishop Graber and Dok Stella have both had many heartaches, disappointments and losses to overcome. However, for albeit different reasons, neither really believe they are suitable for marriage, nor do they want to get married. Sometimes, though life takes over, and the ending is a surprise for everyone.

Since I was unaware that Courting An Amish Bishop was a part of "The Heart of Amish Series" until I had completed reading it, I found it works well as a standalone novel.
The novel is a must-read, a fantastic inspirational tale of love, faith, and second chances.

I received this book from Barbour through NetGalley. However, my review is voluntary, and all opinions are my own.
