Abstract
Tomáš Halíks course of life is determined by exciting events and experiences: his childhood in the Stalin era, his conversion to Christianity in the time of hard persecutions of the Church, the "Prague Spring" and the Soviet occupation in the 1968th. After his secret ordination in 1978, he worked for eleven years in the "underground church".
In 1989, he participates in the "Velvet Revolution", then in the difficult construction of democracy. He tells of his close relations with personalities such as Vaclav Havel, John Paul II., Brother Roger, the Dalai Lama.
His autobiography associates Tomas Halik reflections on fundamental theological questions and with insights into its internal crises and conflicts.
