Tatiana Góricheva, communist youth leader and brilliant professor of philosophy, experienced a period haunted by incomprehensible anguish and melancholy without limits. Without hope of a better future, took refuge in a life of excess and in the company of people from the lower strata. Tired and disappointed in life became interested in Eastern and Western philosophies and turned to yoga. One day, the Lord's Prayer mentally repeating a mantra in a deadpan and automatic, was completely transformed. He understood "with all his being that God exists ... a God who became man for love".

In this memoir, the author talks about the fascinating rediscovery of the Church in Soviet Russia, despite persecution. It is a church that still influences by the spiritual strength of their pastors, able to see into the depths of the human heart. A great testimony to the Russian people about the meaning of suffering and persecution, which, despite everything, can not eradicate religion. Is also a call to Western Christians to believe in your heart.
