Another of the so-called “comforting works”, dedicated to Dorota Cyrillová. It is inspired by an Old Testament Biblical citation: “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe” (Book of Proverbs, 18,10). The stronghold of human faith is often sorely tested – the world is full of terrors and dangers, and the only safe and perfect refuge is God Himself. The text is complemented by numerous supporting references from the Old and New Testaments.
