A priest's inspiring story of bringing people together and bringing them closer to God-with some help from Dolly Parton, Martin Short, and others.
This book is my Midrash. With these words, Father Jim Sichko draws us into a life story full of laughter, tears, and service, filled with insightful lessons gained during his many travels as a clergyman and motivational speaker. Whether recounting his sobering flying experiences, the time he met the pope, or his encounter with the "Weed Man," Father Jim instructs through powerful storytelling.
As he takes us along on his journey, from getting kicked out of seminary to hosting celebrities-including Dolly Parton, Harry Connick Jr., Martin Short, and former first lady Laura Bush-at his small Kentucky parish, Father Jim shines a light into the corners of the human heart to expose our need for God and the love He alone can give. With humor and striking honesty, Father Jim reveals what it means to worship God, have compassion for others, and live life among friends.
