The Pilgrim’s Progress from This World, to That Which Is to Come was written in 1678 by John Bunyan, a Puritan and a dissenter from the Church of England. It is an allegory of the journey to redemption of the faithful, through many snares and difficulties. Cast in the form of a dream, the first part of the work deals with a man called Christian, who sets off carrying a great burden. He meets many helpers and many adversaries on this journey. The second part of the work deals with Christian’s wife, Christiana, and her four children, who follow a similar journey. One of the most influential of all religious works, The Pilgrim’s Progress was immediately popular and has been translated over the years into many languages and into many forms, including verse, opera, movies, and many illustrated versions for children. Several of its story elements, characters and locations have entered the language, such as the “Slough of Despond,” “Vanity Fair,” “Great-heart,” and “Giant Despair.” This edition is based on a version of Bunyan’s complete works edited by George Offor and published in 1855. It contains many endnotes drawn from a variety of commentators.

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)

The amazing autobiography and testimony by John Bunyan of how he went from the chief of sinners to meeting his savior Jesus Christ. "But upon a day, the good providence of God did cast me to Bedford, to work on my calling; and in one of the streets of that town, I came where there were three or four poor women sitting at a door in the sun, and talking about the things of God; and being now willing to hear them discourse, I drew near to hear what they said, for I was now a brisk talker also myself in the matters of religion, but now I may say, I heard, but I understood not; for they were far above, out of my reach, for their talk was about a new birth, the work of God on their hearts, also how they were convinced of their miserable state by nature; they talked how God had visited their souls with His love in the Lord Jesus, and with what words and promises they had been refreshed, comforted, and supported against the temptations of the devil. Moreover, they reasoned of the suggestions and temptations of Satan in particular; and told to each other by which they had been afflicted, and how they were borne up under his assaults. They also discoursed of their own wretchedness of heart, of their unbelief; and did contemn, slight, and abhor their own righteousness, as filthy and insufficient to do them any good. And methought they spake as if joy did make them speak; they spake with such pleasantness of Scripture language, and with such appearance of grace in all they said, that they were to me as if they had found a new world, as if they were people that dwelt alone, and were not to be reckoned among their neighbours (Num.3.9)."

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Pilgrim's Progress (Unabridged & Annotated with the complete Bible references)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Pilgrim's Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come is a Christian allegory written by John Bunyan and published in February, 1678. It is regarded as one of the most significant works of religious English literature, has been translated into more than 200 languages, and has never been out of print. Bunyan began his work while in the Bedfordshire county gaol for violations of the Conventicle Act, which prohibited the holding of religious services outside the auspices of the established Church of England. Early Bunyan scholars like John Brown believed The Pilgrim's Progress was begun in Bunyan's second shorter imprisonment for six months in 1675, but more recent scholars like Roger Sharrock believe that it was begun during Bunyan's initial, more lengthy imprisonment from 1660–72 right after he had written his spiritual autobiography, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners. John Bunyan (28 November 1628 – 31 August 1688) was an English Christian writer and preacher, who is well known for his book The Pilgrim's Progress. Though he became a non-conformist and member of an Independent church, and although he has been described both as a Baptist and as a Congregationalist, he himself preferred to be described simply as a Christian. He is remembered in the Church of England with a Lesser Festival on August 30, and on the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church (US) on August 29. Some other Churches of the Anglican Communion, such as the Anglican Church of Australia, honour him on the day of his death (August 31) together with St Aidan of Lindisfarne.

"My grace is sufficient for thee" (2 Corinthians 12:9). Before Pilgrim''s Progress, John Bunyan wrote Grace Abounding-from his jail cell. John was not imprisoned for his youthful rebellion, but for preaching the gospel after he heard a word from God. "For though, as yet, I was nothing but a poor painted hypocrite, yet I loved to be talked of as one that was truly godly." For many years, John-like all Christians-struggled with his sinful nature. In Grace Abounding, he honestly declares his shortcomings, and knows that he must overcome them to fulfill his destiny. "But one morning, when I was again at prayer, and trembling under the fear of this, that no word of God could help me, that piece of a sentence darted in upon me, ''My grace is sufficient.''" Throughout John''s life he realized how vulnerable he was, and how great God''s grace is. First, I confessed I was fallen, but not fallen away…. Secondly, I confessed that I had put Jesus Christ to shame by my sin, but not to open shame…. Discover God''s abounding grace for you through this classic work that has guided countless many over the past 300 years.

Begun while John Bunyan was in Bedfordshire county jail serving time for holding religious services outside the auspices of the Church of England, "Pilgrim's Progress" is considered one of the greatest works of the English language. "Pilgrim's Progress" is a Christian allegory that concerns the path of one's soul to Heaven. John Bunyan published the first part of the "Pilgrim's Progress" in 1678 with a second part to follow in 1679. Contained here in this volume is the first part of "Pilgrim's Progress".

An outstanding religious allegorical narration of mankind's emancipation by comparing to a besiege city. It is a battle among mind, heart and a soul. Bunyan's style is greatly admired for its vitality, simplicity and compactness. A true classic!
