About this ebook

Bonus - Includes Part II

Often disguised as something that would help him, evil accompanies Christian on his journey to the Celestial City. 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.



Ratings and reviews

I have always heard of this book, but never bothered to read it. I thought it would be almost like reading Chaucer (although not to that extreme in content or prose.) Yet I did still find a lot of it very mind numbing still. It's not exactly in most modern english. Although this version was free so who am I to complain!

One of my favourite book. Great saints of God had tred the roads of persecutions. O Lord preserve us. Onward Christian soldiers wake up with boldness & courage..

Don't know how I could have waited 71 years to read this fantastic book. I found each chapter challenging me as I read and seemingly reviewed my own life and that to come.
