The Better Part: A Christ-Centered Resource for Personal Prayerby Fr John Bartunek
No one who is learning or desires to learn to pray more deeply and meditate more effectively on the person and work of Christ should go without this book. It offers a basic but at the same time sufficiently comprehensive overview of how to meditate in the Christian tradition (no New Age or Hindu/Buddhist influences here.)
Beyond the solid instruction on meditation method, Father John provides us with meditations through the four Gospels.
