What would it be like to meet Jesus face to face? To walk with him along the roads and seashores of ancient Palestine, to eat with him, to hear his words, to witness his miracles?

For centuries, Christians have "walked with Jesus" through the practice of imaginative prayer. In Imagine You Walked with Jesus, you'll learn the method of imaginative prayer developed by Saint Ignatius of Loyola five hundred years ago. Then you'll be guided through forty Gospel-based encounters with Jesus, from his birth to his resurrection.

Key features of Imagine You Walked with Jesus include:

  • An introduction to the practice of imaginative prayer (also known as Ignatian contemplation)
  • Forty step-by-step guided encounters with Jesus, with the complete Gospel text and questions for personal reflection or small group discussion
  • Cultural and geographical background to help you imagine each encounter more vividly
  • A leader's guide for using Imagine You Walked with Jesus in a small-group setting
  • Twelve reading plans organized by Gospel and liturgical season
  • A guide to journaling your imaginative prayer, with five examples
  • A list of thirty additional Gospel texts for imaginative prayer

Jesus' invitation to walk with him wasn't limited to the people of the Gospels; Jesus invites each of us to walk with him today, too. Imaginative prayer is a deeply intimate way to respond to that invitation - and ultimately to be transformed by the encounter.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Everyone looks up to Jerry Windley-Daoust, and not just because he is two meters tall (that’s just about 6' 7" for those still resisting the metric system): he is also the author of more than two dozen books on topics such as Catholic social teaching, family spirituality, and Ignatian prayer. Even more impressively, he spent ten years as a stay-at-home dad for his five children while his wife taught theology at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. He took an MA in pastoral ministry from the same institution, despite submitting a 250-page master’s thesis that his advisor never finished reading. Lately, Jerry has also been writing essays, poetry, novels, and award-winning short stories grounded in Christian hope. You can find him hiking along the Mississippi River with his family on many Sunday afternoons; however, an easier way to track him down would be to find his portfolio website, Windhovering.com, which takes its name from “The Windhover,” a poem by one of his favorite poets, G. M. Hopkins.

5.0 out of 5 stars A different kind of prayer
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2022
Verified Purchase
This book has been so helpful to me. I have appreciated imaginative prayer in the past, putting myself into a scene or Gospel story with Jesus. Usually that's been at a retreat where a leader is guiding me within a group setting, with a narrative and prompts for how I might imagine my own feelings or behaviors in the scene. But I have always relied on having a leader's guidance throughout the process, and assumed I couldn't really do it on my own. This book has given me the ability to place myself in a Gospel story without a personal guide. The excellent introductory material on life in Palestine in the time of Jesus, as well as the author's sensitive questions and prompts that accompany each of 40 Gospel passages, enable me to go deeper into the Gospel than I have before. My own life experience and consciousness are brought to the scenes with Jesus, and this method is really quite profound. Journalling afterwards about the time of meditation is very helpful. I highly recommend this book for those who want to explore their relationship with Jesus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro to Contemplative Prayer
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2022
As the graduate of a Jesuit university, I love all things Ignatian. Pray As You Go, one of my favorite Catholic apps, often asks listeners to engage in the what the Jesuits call contemplative prayer, and I always find it fruitful. In Imagine You Walked with Jesus: a Guide to Ignatian Contemplative Prayer author Jerry Windley-Daost rebrands this practice as "Imaginative Prayer," and does a superlative job of explaining how it is done.

Jerry begins the book with a little background on the founder of the Jesuits, St. Ignatius Loyola, writing that he believed that "all created things, including human emotions and imagination, have the potential to make us holy." When he designed his famous Spiritual Exercises, he included this practice of imaginative prayer as a central element.

Imaginative prayer requires you to cooperate with the Holy Spirit by using your imagination to insert yourself into a scene from Scripture. Jerry breaks down this process into six steps, including time to reflect on the experience afterwards. After this brief explanation, the rest of the book provides tools to make walking with Jesus in this way extremely accessible.

I love the chapter in which Jerry provides background on the world in which Jesus walked. He describes the clothes, the locations, the food, and more. All this helps to get you in the mood and sets the scene for your journeys with Jesus. And Jerry does not abandon you to your own resources! Instead, he provides suggested readings that span the entirety of Jesus' life and ministry. Each includes an opening prayer, the reading, more background information, prompts to get you started, and suggestions for reflection.

Later in the book you can find instructions for using the book in small groups, with either adults or young people. There are suggested reading plans based on the liturgical year and more. And there is even a list of other passages you can dive into on your own if you are hungry for more.

I was supposed to review this book a long time ago. The reason I didn't is because I wanted to savor it. And I hope after you read this you will be inspired to buy it and try this form of prayer for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Experiencing with all our senses the richness of the Logos
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2022
Imagine You Walked with Jesus, A Guide to Ignatian Contemplative Prayer
By Jerry Windley-Daoust

I loved reading this book! I found it to have a strong scripture documentation, easy to read and incredibly practical for how to learn the Ignatian style of prayer. I loved reading the history of Palestine at the beginning of the book to help me understand how people lived in that era, what their culture was like, what the terrain with its mountains and trails were like to envision Jesus and the disciples walking through. He then gives us 40 passages from the Bible to helps us meditate, imagine and then “put ourselves in the scene” to pray and be with Jesus.

For those interested in creating a prayer group, be them as adults or doing imaginative prayer with children, Jerry gives very specific recommendations on how to create them and make them flourish. He is very sensitive and considerate with his suggestions, including for those who prefer to be “quiet” in their groups.

This book is a must if you are considering expanding on your style of praying. Being and walking with Jesus helps us experience with all our senses the richness of the Logos, and thus, to be one with God.
