When was the last time you stepped outside just to enjoy the sights, sounds, and fragrant scents of summer? We look forward to summer and its longer days as a time to relax, yet we toil and sweat outside under the summer sun. With all the demands of a busy (sometimes over-scheduled) life, we often don’t give ourselves time to be in harmony with nature.

These weekly reflections let you reconnect with summer; a season that reminds us in all things there’s a time to work and a time to rest.

The second in a series of four seasonal meditations books, Summer Meditations explores religious topics in the context of modern life. The 12 reflections in this book follow the rhythms of the summer season, helping you rediscover the beauty of a balanced, God-centered life.

Review

Fr. Bartunek’s reflections are a stroke of genius, leading us seasonally through nature into a deepening relationship with the heavenly Father. One season at a time, we’re led to slow down and savor the great gifts God has given to us. Beautiful!

-- Marge Fenelon ― author, journalist, speaker Published On: 2016-03-14

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book WILL Transform your Prayer LIFE!
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2016
The rhythm of the seasons. I don't give much attention to them because quite frankly, I dislike outside. Busy raising a family, running a ministry and producing daily radio shows (how btw I found out about this book - it was sent to consideration ... though my opinions ARE ALWAYS my own!); there are many years I do not even cognitively recognize that Spring has turned to Summer. Until now.

Fr. John Bartunek's 12 week meditations (there is a book for each season - if you don't have the others order get them; if you are ordering for the first time do yourself a favor and GET the entire set now!) - have transformed my morning prayer time. This unique format of focusing on one (often expected) value or virtue for the week - has transformed my morning prayer. Couple that with the "Making it your Own" spiritual exercises at the end of each chapter - and I am amazed at what I have discovered about God and myself -- and how well those discoveries strengthen my heart when experienced together.

Fr Bartunek's sharing of personal stories and his gentle writing style made each morning's read - delightful and relaxing. Stepping away from the bustle and making time for God has never been so easy!! I LOOKED forward to those moments I had to just sit - read or re-read the week's reflection and contemplate how the Spirit was calling me to grow, rethink or celebrate who I AM in Him! Whether you are a seasoned (pun intended) praying person or looking to develop this practice - SUMMER (as well as Spring, Winter and Autumn) Meditations is the book for you!
