He lived in a time when ideas could spark revolutions—or get you exiled. John of Damascus chose to write anyway. In a world split by empires, threatened by heresy, and shadowed by the rise of Islam, he didn’t retreat. He answered with logic, clarity, and conviction.

He did it in a workshop in Nazareth, in the ordinary unglamorous years of a life nobody recorded, by being fully present to the people in his care...

Ce petit livre audio veut aborder un thème fondamental de l'existence chrétienne, celui de la liberté intérieure.

Sans cette découverte, nous serons toujours à l'étroit dans la vie et nous ne goûterons jamais un vrai bonheur.
