📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books
To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The Long Account — Brother Clement wakes to Matins bells in the dark of the dormitory, in the monastery where he has lived for thirty years, three months after the accusation was made and quietly withdrawn. The accusation was false. The withdrawal has not restored what the accusation took. His abbot told him: time, and the steady accumulation of evidence that you are who you have always been. Clement gets up in the dark and goes to prayer.
