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 discussionCultural and geographical background to help you imagine each encounter more vividlyA leader's guide for using Imagine You Walked with Jesus in a small-group settingTwelve reading plans organized by Gospel and liturgical seasonA guide to journaling your imaginative prayer, with five examplesA list of thirty additional Gospel texts for imaginative prayerJesus' 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.
