ALGONQUIN, Ill., Aug. 27, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- Ministry23, publisher of A Guide to Christian Meditation - How to Engage More Deeply in Personal Prayer, is proud to announce a new book written by best-selling author and spiritual leader, Father John Bartunek, L.C., S.Th.D.

"And he said, 'You shall love your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind [...]'" Luke 10:27

This is a task that, for some, seems impossible, however, in his new book, Seeking First the Kingdom - 30 Meditations on How to Love God with All Your Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength, Father Bartunek gives readers 30 simple meditations to do just that. This recently published book is now available.

Throughout his 11 years serving as a spiritual director and confessor, Father Bartunek noticed a growing trend in those he spoke with; they didn't know how to respond to the call to love because they didn't know what it meant to give and receive true Christian love. These experiences led him to write a book teaching people what real Christian love looks like instead of what the culture defines and portrays as love. Seeking First the Kingdom is broken up into four sections, each touching on a different way God calls His people to love Him: with all their heart, all their soul, all their mind and all their strength.

The book is written for anyone who feels they have yet to reach their full spiritual potential. It is a book that helps readers, as Father Bartunek puts it, perform a spiritual x-ray in order to see which area(s) of love they may be lacking or need to work on. Therefore, this book is enlightening to anyone - from someone new to the faith to a strong believer who is starting to feel burnt out. No matter where readers are on their spiritual journey, Seeking First the Kingdom is sure to inspire.

Seeking First the Kingdom can be purchased through Catholic Word Publisher Group at catholicword.com. You can contact Catholic Word Publisher group by email at sales@catholicword.com or by calling 1-800-932-3826.
