Product information
  • The Better Part: A Christ-Centered Resource for Personal Prayer
  • A practical daily meditation companion
  • An amazing catalyst for personalize times of prayer
  • A life-changing spiritual book

This book should be declared a national treasure! We lead tremendously busy lives, with 1,001 things to do. Even so, every saint and renowned spiritual director through the ages has said the same thing: If we desire to become saints, we must spend time daily in meditation.

With this book (which is in its fourth printing!), Fr. Bartunek has created an extensive, Christ-centered resource to serve as a daily meditation companion. Part I is an incredibly practical explanation of how to Christian meditation (along with a cheat-sheet!).

Part II contains material to use during your meditations. The resource is a Bible study on the four Gospels, a survey of saints' writings, a guide to prayer, and a fresh introduction to Jesus rolled into one. The Better Part enables us to read, meditate, absorb and apply the Gospels to our lives, and it serves as a catalyst to personalize times of prayer, enabling us to follow the Holy Spirit's lead along the path of holiness.

The portable resource has a ribbon to mark your place and contains detailed indices to help you meditate either on the liturgical seasons or the virtues you feel most in need of developing. All four Gospels are included inside the Resource, divided into 303 Units, each one with prayer-sparking commentaries under the subtitles "Christ the Lord, Christ the Teacher, Christ the Friend, and Christ in My Life." An index in the back also shows the Liturgical calendar and the corresponding meditations for the daily Gospel reading. 

It is truly a book for a lifetime, and serves as a solid, powerful Catholic alternative to books like Jesus Calling.

The Gospels

"I haven’t had it long enough to finish it, I am in the middle of midterms. I am on my fourth year at Sacred Heart Major Seminary. I have found what I have read so far very enriching and easy to read. 🙏♥️"

— Michael P. (5/5)

This book is an absolute

"This book is an absolute treasure! The reflections on the gospels are excellent; always opening the scriptures deeper for me. I use this book daily, and although it is pricey, I have given this book as a gift more than once, and it is worth every penny. You won’t be disappointed."

— Collette B. (5/5)

The BEST

"I have had a great many devotionals in my 60+ years but this is the absolute BEST! I have bought several for friends. The print is a little small but very clear and easy to read. It's also well made so it should last for many years. I cannot say enough good things about this book. Not a day goes by but what I don't reach for my pencil to underline some nugget of truth."

— Sharlene (5/5)

A must have for daily scripture reflection

"I friend gave me this book a few months ago. I use it each morning with the daily gospel reading. It is always inspirational and helps me to understand what Jesus is teaching us through the scriptures. There is always something I had not considered in the meditations. I am now ordering one for a family member."

— Jill (5/5)
