You will laugh, cry, and be taken back by his honesty. In all, Fr. Jim shows us what it means to love God, love others and live life\u00a0<em>Among Friends<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the years, when St. Mark Catholic Church hosted the eagerly anticipated\u00a0<em>An Evening Among Friends<\/em>\u00a0series of fundraisers, the celebrated performers shared many accounts of the important role their faith played in their lives,\u201d Father Jim explained. \u201cSharing their journeys, along with my own, was fascinating and uplifting, and helped lead to this book.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all experience the wonder of our journey through life\u2019s lessons,\u201d Fr. Jim said. \u201cCo-author Chas Allen understands the power of redemption and the path toward salvation.\u201d Chas authored\u00a0<strong><em>Mr. Pink: The Inside Story of the Transylvania Book Heist<\/em><\/strong>, a biographical account detailing his involvement in the white collar crime \u2013 one of the FBI\u2019s most significant art thefts in history.<\/p>\n<p>Fr.

His writing credits are diverse and include media outlets from\u00a0<em>Christianity Today<\/em>\u00a0to popular horror site\u00a0<em>DreadCentral.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe this book will help many realize the power of the journey and how we all share much in common with those whose stories can teach us important lessons \u2013 now and into the future,\u201d said Fr. Jim. \u201cIt is motivational and filled with many examples of how different paths lead us to a life of faith and joy.\u201d<br>\nFather Jim W. Sichko is a priest of the Diocese of Lexington, KY.
