"Christmas and Easter in the reflections of Tomáš Halík is an example of a perfect audiobook adaptation. The author has taken his own book, selected passages from it that relate to the Advent and Lenten season and adapted them for audio. Under experienced direction and with an original musical score, he retold it himself, which only emphasized the form of the text. In such an adaptation, the essential is not lost - the idea and message with which Halík addresses all the Zacheans among us. "
