As you walk with him, you’ll begin to identify today’s many religious pitfalls. These are presented by men such as Pliable, who turns back at the Slough of Despond; and Ignorance, who believes he’s a true follower of Christ when he’s really only trusting in himself. Each character represented in this allegory is intentionally and profoundly accurate in its depiction of what we see all around us, and unfortunately, what we too often see in ourselves. But while Christian is injured and nearly killed, he eventually prevails to the end. So can you. The best part of this book is the Bible verses added to the text. The original Pilgrim’s Progress listed the Bible verse references, but the verses themselves are so impactful when tied to the scenes in this allegory, that they are now included within the text of this book. The text is tweaked just enough to make it readable today, for the young and the old. Youngsters in particular will be drawn to the original illustrations included in this wonderful classic. About the Author John Bunyan was born November 1628, in Elstow, England. A celebrated English minister and preacher, he wrote The Pilgrim's Progress (1678), the book that was the most characteristic expression of the Puritan religious outlook. His other works include doctrinal and controversial writings; a spiritual autobiography, Grace Abounding (1666); and the allegory The Holy War (1682) Review: A Must Read! - Bunyan successfully gave a faithful account of a Christian’s journey. Many, if not all, of Christian’s encounters were highly relatable. The highest strength of this book (and what I loved the most about it) is its deep roots in the Scriptures. I do not exaggerate when I say there’s a corresponding bible verse for every other sentence in Pilgrim’s Progress. I was profoundly impressed by Bunyan’s extensive knowledge of Scriptures and his ability to infuse it throughout his book. Charles Spurgeon even called Bunyan a living Bible and said, “Read anything of his [Bunyan’s], and you will see that it is almost like reading the Bible itself. He had read it till his very soul was saturated with Scripture…prick him anywhere; his blood is Bibline; the very essence of the Bible flows from him. He cannot speak without quoting a text, for his very soul is full of the Word of God.” Not only is Pilgrim’s Progress filled with Scriptures, but it is also faithful to it. It gives a clear and accurate presentation of the Gospel of Christ, not a watered version popular in the evangelical world today. I also enjoyed the biblical lessons in every stage of the book. Even when Christian encountered troubles I hadn’t, I learned a few things that will help recognize the enemy's trap. And I also enjoyed the poetry/song Christian recited at the end of every trial. On the flip side, I found the book a bit difficult to read. I can easily spend hours reading a book, but for some reason, I couldn’t read more than a chapter per day with this one. Perhaps it is because of the different writing style or because it was written a long time ago. Whatever the case, it was not a can’t-put-it-down book for me. But it's probably for the best, as it allowed me to digest the material slowly. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the book. It made me reflect on my faith journey and examine myself. It also provided me with valuable resources to keep me on the true path of righteousness. For instance, Christian’s sole focus on God convicted me and made me realize I let myself get too distracted by worldly things instead of fixing my eyes on Christ. Also, the sufficiency of Scripture for all of Christian’s troubles inspired me. And I was enormously encouraged by how Christian and his fellow resisted a specific obstacle and the means they used to overcome it. My recommendation Pilgrim’s Progress is for the everyday Christian, as it depicts general things all believers can expect from the moment we have been regenerated to when we die and go to heaven. Therefore, I recommend all Christians to read it! Especially new believers. The book is so theologically rich that I cannot imagine any Christian reading it without learning something that will grow them in their faith. Non-Christians should also read it because it is an excellent introduction to the Christian life. However, as it doesn’t have much apologetics, non-believers who are skeptical but warm towards Christianity might benefit from it.

But while Christian is injured and nearly killed, he eventually prevails to the end. So can you.” Finally. This is a book that I have wanted to read for forever, but for whatever reason I just never got to it. This is a wonderfully enlightening story that captured me from the first page. I actually found myself smiling, and sometimes frowning, as I read of Christian’s travels and pitfalls. I marveled first at the cast of characters: Pliable, who turns back as the Slough of Despond, and Ignorance, who believes that he is a true believer, to Formalist and Hypocrisy, Mister Money-Love and Lord Hate-Good and then there is of course there is the Vanity Fair, the Valley of Humiliation, the River of the Water of Life and oh so many more. Each character Christian encounters represents and so accurate depicts what we see all around us, and sometimes in ourselves. But just as Christian is nearly destroyed and killed, he prevails and enters the Celestial City. An example for us all that we too, can prevail. This edition is filled with over 100 original illustrations as well as the bible verse references are added directly into the text that helps to tie the verse and this wonderful message together and bring it to life. I appreciate that this edition is “tweaked just enough” to make it readable today, for both young and old. I am sorry that I waited so long to read this book. It is a timeless classic that should be on everyone’s reading list.
