Bishop 3: Fall From Grace
After police plant drugs in Bishop Larry Lakes’s car, he is arrested and charged with illegal drug possession with intent to distribute.
Having no other options, Larry transfers ownership of his new church to Mayor Richard Bonner—the man that orchestrated Larry’s arrest—in order to have the charges dismissed and allow Larry’s release.
Regaining his freedom, Larry realizes he has nothing else.
All of his money has been taken to pay off the boys he molested.
Larry’s wife, Marian, has taken his mansion and sole custody of his children and plans to marry Paul—her one-time personal assistant. As though not insult enough, Mayor Bonner has accomplished his goal of leaving Larry without a church to head, killing his chances of ever preaching again.
Once the most powerful, most revered spiritual leader in the south, Larry is now homeless and penniless. He has no church, his name has no value, and his family has been taken.
He tells himself suicide would be a more fitting end than what his future now holds. But before he shamefully disappears into obscurity, he plots revenge against Mayor Bonner—the man he once respected, Paul Taylor—who Larry trusted, and Marian—the woman he vowed to love, honor and protect.
Larry promises—willing to give his life in the effort—they will pay with all they hold dear, know the pain of having their lives torn apart, and rue the day they ever deceived Bishop Larry Lakes.

RM Johnsonnever let's his reader's do down. The Bishop Series books were very true to life and kept you guessing what would happen next. Keep them coming Mr. Johnson. I have recommended several of your past books to friends and co-workers.

Bishop 3 is the continuation and the final book of the Bishop series. The Bishop is insane. The storyline is OK. Unfortunately this book does not reflect Mr. Johnson’s superb writing quality, and skills. There are many grammatical errors, which represent poor editing. Shreeva’s character is too dumb to be believable. I also wanted to know more about the boys from the previous books. I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.

Bishop, Bishop, Bishop
Once again I cannot give a grammatically flawed book 5stars, but this was a good series. It shows how events from the past can affect the future. Cycles have to be broken!!

Other than the many grammar errors it was good. Editing for grammar needed to have been better.

If you have read Bishop and Bishop 2 then this is the conclusion, IT IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. Short but my heart wouldn't have been able to deal with it any longer. Read at your own risk.

Wow. What a way to end a series. This series was top notch, between the story line and the writing it was just great. Just about everyone got what they deserved by the end of the story.
