This is an automatically translated description

Faith without questions is faith without curiosity and searching, that is, faith that is stagnant, lacking in trust, filled with fear rather than the bright power of the desire to go further to learn more and become more. Each of us can become the Apostle Thomas and not be afraid to say that every Christian has the right to ask questions about whether there is life after death and what needs to be done to inherit eternal life. The author chose the image of Thomas for his book because he was curious, like a child, asking lots of questions. This apostle could have become the reader's travelling companion, but time did not allow it. Therefore, we can simply follow in his footsteps in search of our faith."
