Times change, but human nature does not. Neither do the daily struggles that all Christians experience in their walk with the Lord. Today as two thousand years ago we fight anger, pride, lust, spiritual sloth. Now as then we strive to be more diligent in prayer, more faithful to the commandments, more patient and charitable toward others. And in our time, no less than in the earliest centuries of Christianity, we need wise guidance to direct us on the road to holiness.
In A Year with the Church Fathers, popular Patristics expert Mike Aquilina gathers the wisest, most practical teachings and exhortations from the Fathers of the Church, and presents them in a format perfect for daily meditation and inspiration. The Fathers were the immediate inheritors of the riches of the Apostolic Age, and their intimacy with the revelation of Jesus Christ is beautifully evident throughout their theological and pastoral writings: a profound patrimony that is ours to read and cherish and profit from.
Learn to humbly accept correction from St. Clement of Rome. Let Tertullian teach you how to clear your mind before prayer. Read St. Gregory the Great and deepen your love for the Eucharist. Do you suffer from pain or illness? St. John Chrysostom's counsels will refresh you. Do you have trouble curbing your appetite for food and other fleshly things? St. John Cassian will teach you the true way to moderation and self-control.
A Year with the Church Fathers?is different from a study guide, and more than a collection of pious passages. It is a year-long retreat that in just a few minutes every day will lead you on a cycle of contemplation, prayer, resolution, and spiritual growth that is guaranteed to bring you closer to God and His truth. From the Church Fathers we should expect nothing less.

Shipping Information: Shipping times provided on this website or elsewhere are the estimated transit time of the post office and do not include our processing time. Depending on stock status and our volume of orders, delivery can vary from a few days to several weeks. If you need your package by a certain date, please contact us and we will do our best to expedite the order.
Mail Classes: Priority Mail is the name given to a mail class from USPS, and does not refer to a faster processing time by us (if you need an item urgently, please contact us and we will do our best to expedite the order). Priority Mail is the least expensive mail class available for domestic packages over one pound and international packages over four pounds. For smaller packages, First Class mail may be less expensive. Shipping times for both are comparable. Media Mail is only available for domestic orders consisting entirely of DVDs, CDs or books. It is generally less expensive than either First Class or Priority Mail, but shipping times are slower (anything from a couple of days to a week extra).
International Orders & Duty: All packages are marked with appropriate customs information. You are responsible for paying any duties or taxes as a result of import. You are also responsible for ensuring any items ordered are legal to import to your jurisdiction. Church Militant is not responsible for items seized at customs or taxes due.
Returns & Refunds: Per Michigan and US Federal law, we do not normally offer refunds or returns. If an item is damaged or the wrong item is sent, contact us and we will replace it. If you wish to inquire about a refund, exchange or return contact us - but we are not obligated to provide such and are permitted to charge a restocking fee. Please do not return items without having contacted us and arranged a return; receiving an item marked as return does not obligate us to make a refund.
UK & EU Residents Please Note! UK HMRC and the individual EU tax authorities require the payment of VAT (at 20% for the UK and rates varying from 17% to 27% for EU countries) on all goods imported into the United Kingdom or EU. Church Militant does not collect UK or EU VAT on purchases; purchasers are responsible for the payment of VAT to tax authorities when items reach the UK or EU.
