Many readers—both priests and lay people—have been raving about this book of meditations for its depth, readability, and practical usefulness.

“I had lots of excuses as to why I wasn´t going to like this. (Why list them all?) After reading the introduction on *how* to do a meditation, and after learning that a meditation is NOT spiritual reading, I decided to give it a try. Not only are the meditation guides among the best (if not THE best) I´ve ever come across, the book is laid out in very helpful ways.  Gospel readings are numbered and a handy table helps you find the Gospel reading of the day. What more can I say?  I´ve used this every week now for 4 weeks and I see myself continuing to use it every day - indefinitely.” --Carl Brown, Cincinnati, OH

“These meditations are not of the fluffy, vague, feel-good variety that has sadly become too common these days. Father Bartunek offers deep and meaningful meditations from four aspects of our relationship with Christ: Christ the Lord, Christ the Teacher, Christ the Friend, and Christ in my life. By using the principles of concentration, consideration, conversation and commitment, each meditation should lead one to an experience of Christ´s presence and a firm, concrete commitment to better imitate him.” --Rhett Brotherton, Amazon.com review

“This is probably the best investment that I have ever made in regard to a book. The author´s knowledge of history and the Old Testament give fresh insight into the gospels. I was unsure about what to expect from it but now I don´t know how I ever prayed without it. I have used The Better Part almost every day since I got it in January! It is a book that I can see myself using every day for years to come.” –M. Broussard, Baton Rouge, LA.

As this Year for Priests draws to an end, Circle Press is offering you the chance to give a gift that will bear abundant spiritual fruit. This is a wonderful way to say thank you to a priest who has impacted your life for eternity.
