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.

This is my humble opinion, I think this book is the most important book that the church history has ever produced, apart from the Bible. I would recommend this book to be read once every year. This book discusses a lot of topics that are mentioned in the Bible, such as conversion, repentance, Christ, the forgiveness of God, legalism, church membership, temptation, mortification of sin, assurance, pastoral heart, marriage, persecution, Bible, death, Hell, Heaven, Judgement Day and so on. These topics are not discussed so that Christian can get knowledge just to show off to other people, but rather, these are written to encourage Christians, to make us examine ourselves to see whether we are walking in the way of the Lord. A lot of scene from this book are so encouraging to me. Because I am a weak and needy Christian, I hope that I could every year get reminded by this book, so that I may continue to persevere, and hopefully, one day, I may reach the Celestial City, where I can worship my Lord forever and ever.

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!
