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.

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)
