Overview

GET JOHN BUNYAN'S CLASSIC PURITAN ALLEGORY TODAY!



A man dressed in rags, carrying a huge burden upon his back, weeps in the wilderness. The reason for his grief: he's read from the book in his hand that he is doomed and the city in which he lives is destined for destruction. The more he reads, the heavier his burden becomes; and the heavier his burden, the greater his grief.

When a man named Evangelist gives him a parchment scroll and provides instruction on how he can remove the burden from his back and flee from the coming wrath, the man in rags begins a pilgrimage with his ultimate goal being Mount Zion and the Celestial City. Before he gets there, however, the man must face many dangers, toils, and snares along the way: deceivers and the deceived; difficult climbs and roaring lions; humiliation and raging dragons; hobgoblins and angry mobs; false witnesses and gloomy giants; flatterers, atheists and rivers of death; and a multitude of situations and circumstances to test his faith in Christ and his love for Christ.

In God's providence, and by God's grace, the pilgrim will receive help from Shining Ones, Shepherds, saints, scripture, as well as all the graces and promises God provides every Christian through their sojourn in as they travel through the wilderness of this world.

Join Christian through his journey to gain entrance at the Celestial Gate in John Bunyan's classic allegory, The Pilgrim's Progress. This puritan classic is a must read for every Christian believer. The Biblical truths expressed in this timeless tome will inspire your soul, strengthen your faith and increase your understanding in spiritual matters.

Of John Bunyan and his classic story, Charles H. Spurgeon had this to say: "...he cannot give us his Pilgrim's Progress- that sweetest of all prose poems- without continually making us feel and say, 'Why, this man is a living Bible!' Prick him anywhere; his blood is Bibline, the very essence of the Bible flows from him."

PRAISE FOR PILGRIM'S PROGRESS



"Pilgrim's Progress is read with the greatest pleasure."-George Whitefield (1714-1770)

"It is a masterpiece of piety and genius; and will, we doubt not, be of standing use to the people of God be so long as the sun and moon endure." -Augustus Toplady (1740-1748)

"But as among the stars one excelleth another in glory, so of all our author's writings, there is no one perhaps so universally and deservedly admired as his Pilgrim's Progress, in which he gives a delineation of the Christian life under the idea of a journey or a pilgrimage, from the City of Destruction to the heavenly Jerusalem." -John Newton (1725-1807)

"Next to the Bible, the book I value most is John Bunyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress.'" -Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)

"That tenderest and most theological of books is pulsating with life in every word." - J. Gresham Machen (1881-1937)

About the Author

About The Author
John Bunyan (1628-1688) was born in Elstow, England, approximately 1/2 mile from Bedford. The former tinker became a mighty preacher of the gospel and his unwavering conviction to preach wherever he anyone would listen, sent him to prison for 12 years from 1660 to 1672 in violation of the Clarendon Code (preaching as a non-conformist within 5 miles of an Anglican Church).

His wonderful allegory, THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, is one of the most read books in the English language, second only to the King James Version of the Holy Bible.

John Bunyan wrote many poems, treatises and allegories until his death in 1688. He is considered one of the greatest writers among the Puritan authors.
