With the discipline of a surgeon performing a critical operation, acclaimed storyteller Harry Mark Petrakis strips away layers of his nine decades of life to expose the blood and bone of a human being in his third memoir and twenty-fifth book, Song of My Life. Petrakis is unsparing in exposing his own flaws, from a youthful gambling addiction, to the enormous lie of his military draft, to a midlife suicidal depression. Yet he is compassionate in depicting the foibles of others around him. Petrakis writes with love about his parents and five siblings, with nostalgia as he describes the Greek neighborhoods and cramped Chicago apartments of his childhood, and with deep affection for his wife and sons as he recalls with candor, comedy, and charity a writer's long, fully-lived life. Petrakis recounts the near-fatal childhood illness, which confined him to bed for two years and, through hours of reading during the day and night, nurtured his imagination and compulsion toward storytelling. A high school dropout, Petrakis also recalls his work journey in the steel mills, railroad depots, and shabby diners of the city. There is farce and comedy in the pages as he describes the intricate framework of lies that drove his courtship of Diana, who has been his wife of sixty-nine loving years. Petrakis shares his struggles for over a decade to write and publish and finally, poignantly describes the matchless instant when he holds his first published book in his hands. The chapters on his experiences in Hollywood where he had gone to write the screenplay of his best-selling novel A Dream of Kings are as revealing of the machinations and egos of moviemaking as any Oliver Stone documentary. Petrakis's individual story, as fraught with drama and revelation as the adventures of Odysseus, comes to an elegiac conclusion when, at the age of ninety, he ruminates on his life and its approaching end. With a profound and searing honesty, this self-exploration of a solitary writer's life helps us understand our own existences and the tapestry of lives connecting us together in our shared human journey.

It leaves the traveler, student/reader- with the desire to become a Bondservant to our Almighty God. Helen Siefert, friend This journey or study of James has guided me into a new life of not being explosive when situations are not to my favor. I credit it to the opportunity of spending time studying the Word of God in a small group setting. Learning new nuggets or keys to help me every day. I am over joyed at having this support that I might become a mature and loving Christian early in my life! Justin Powlison, grandson The Journey with James has been a life changing experience, or it was for me! I learned about Gods forgiveness, plus how to forgive others with His help! I would recommend others read and work it for themselves for a number of reasons. The main one being on how to be an outstanding Christian, or like James says, Bondservant for Jesus.

By uncovering “why we do what we do in church,” Christians can make more informed decisions about where they should take their churches in the future. Why do we do what we do in church? Roots answers that question. Readers will discover for themselves the history of seven important topics that are at the very heart of what it means to be a Christian. • Bible: Who decided on what the Bible should include? • Baptism: Why do some baptize infants and others baptize believers? • Eucharist: How did a “supper” turn into a tiny wafer and a sip of juice? • Church buildings: How did we get from meeting in homes to attending megachurch arenas • Pastors: How did church leadership become so professionalized and hierarchical? • Sermons: How did we get from “Love thy neighbor” to a 30-minute rhetorical performance? • Church Music: Early Christians chanted Psalms, but now we have Chris Tomlin. Why? Every Christian needs to know these things . . . and decide what they believe.
