Description
Following the example of St. Ignatius, we believe that praying the Examen will lead to a better life. The 500-year-old daily practice of honest self-assessment and reflection is a founding principle of Ignatian spirituality. What we don’t know is if St. Ignatius ever felt like changing it up a bit. Jesuit speaker and author Mark Thibodeaux, SJ, is confident that St. Ignatius wouldn’t mind a little flexibility in his prayer. Join Thibodeaux as he guides you through new and unique versions of the Examen, totally flexible and adaptable to your life. In ten minutes, you can tailor your daily prayer practice to fit your personal and situational needs, further enhancing and deepening your meditation. Reimagining the Ignatian Examen —the only book of its kind—will lead you through a fresh and stimulating reflection on your past day, your present state of being, and your spiritual desires and needs for tomorrow.

This book is also complimented by at great app on the Android PlayStore
Very practical for praying through your experiences. It guides you to bring God into your life, rather than just turning your prayer into a introspection of self. Gratitude is a key part of this Ignatian prayer and opening our memory to see how God is at work in our reality. This book is also complimented by at great app on the Android PlayStore: "Daily Examen" which is basically this book in free app form. I would get the book, though, to read through the whole explanation and then use this app as your daily driver. Also I would recommend Fr Thibodeaux's book "God's Voice Within" for Ignatian Discernment. He is very clear, easy to follow for both the beginner and advanced "pray-er". Superb for interior freedom, and living as a discerning heart in the Lord!

15 Minutes With Christ
In just fifteen minutes a day, this fantastic book will help you to draw closer to Christ by looking back over your day reviewing your past to find God and God's blessings in daily life because this is your most important moment of the day which affects every other moment. You will learn to Relish the moments that went well, Request the Spirit to lead you through a review of your day, Review your day, Repent of any mistakes or failures, and Resolve, in concrete ways to live tomorrow well. This is a simple in-the-moment check-in that reminds you of God's presence and reorients you towards him. There are 34 examens one for each day that will lead to a better life.

Reflective time each day
I have enjoyed using this version of the examen. Each one is very meditative and leads me through a different aspect of life and spiritual development. Whether catholic or protestant, you will appreciate being drawn into the presence of the Lord as you take time away to center your thoughts on Him and how he wants to move in you each day that you use this.

Wonderful!
This has become one of my go-to books to buy as a gift to people. Practicing the examen has been a great gift to my spiritual life, and I love Thibodeaux's creative versions of it. He does an excellent job explaining how to use the book in his introduction, so I know I can easily gift this to people unfamiliar with the examen and they'll be able to use it. Wonderful book! Thanks, Fr. Thibodeaux!

doing this for lent!
Wow! I'm currently doing this for lent and it has been wonderful!! It offers a different "theme" of an examen every day. I had zero experience with the Ignatian examen prior to using this book and it has been easy to follow and a wonderful way to enhance my prayer life. I highly recommend!

Fresh approaches to the Examen
For the last 40 years of my life as a Jesuit I have been committed to making the Examen each day. Sometimes I have found this prayer dry, routine and a chore. Mark Thibodeaux's book has opened up the Examen for me in fresh new ways. I have the Kindle version on my iPad and I look forward to trying a new approach each evening. We have put a hard copy in each room in our retreat house in Melbourne.
