"As the challenges of cultural secularization and dwindling congregation size confront religious communities across North America and Europe, and the Catholic Church in particular, Tom\u00E1\u0161 Hal\u00EDk is a prophetic voice of hope. He has lived through the political oppression and intolerance of religion that defined Communist Czechoslovakia, and he draws from this experience to remind readers that not only does crisis lead to deeper understanding but also that any living religion is a changing religion. The central messages of Christianity have always seemed impossible, from peace and forgiveness in the face of a harsh world to love and self-sacrifice despite human selfishness to the victory of resurrection through the defeat of the cross. Acceptance of paradox therefore is the way forward, Hal\u00EDk explains. It is a difficult way that offers an unclear immediate future, but it is ultimately the only honest way."@en . .

"Longos anos dedicados a confiss\u00E3o e escuta espiritual t\u00EAm permitido a Tom\u00E1\u0161 Hal\u00EDk acompanhar feridas e fragilidades, perguntas e vazios interiores que tantos de n\u00F3s, em algum momento, vivemos. Mas n\u00E3o s\u00F3. Nos dramas percorridos individualmente, ele vai constatando linhas persistentes e comuns. H\u00E1 ent\u00E3o uma convic\u00E7\u00E3o que vai emergindo no autor e que este apaixonante livro refor\u00E7a: as crises interiores n\u00E3o se resolvem escondendo-as debaixo do tapete. Se atravessadas e vividas elas podem constituir janelas de oportunidade para Deus e para a pr\u00F3pria pessoa que as vive. O convite \u00E9, por isso, a n\u00E3o ficar numa vis\u00E3o acomodada de Deus e a redescobrir o que significa procur\u00E1-Lo com a verdade do que somos. Ler este livro \u00E9 fazer uma viagem ao pr\u00F3prio cora\u00E7\u00E3o e prosseguir mais fortes." . "[D1443A05AFC8]" . . "A noite do confessor : A f\u00E9 Crist\u00E3 numa era de incerteza" .
