This allegory tells the tell of Christian, a man who sets out from his home in the City of Destruction to find eternal life in the Celestial City. After reading a certain book, Christian realizes that his some town is going to be destroyed by fire from Heaven, but he can't figure out how to save himself or his family or friends. This puts a heavy burden on Christian's back, that he can't get off. He soon meets a man named Evangelist who tells Christian where he must go to be freed of his burden and points him on the road to the Celestial City. Along the way, Christian meets several characters. Some help him on his journey, while others hinder him. Some try to kill him! He also comes to some interesting places, including the Valley of the Shadow of Death.

This is a timeless classic that still touches the lives of many today, though it was written in the 1600's. Every Christian will recognize the places and people along the main character's journey. This book should be read by everyone, especially those who have been disillusioned into thinking that the Bible promises an easy road to Christians. The imagery of the burden on Christian's back is beautiful. The presentation of fellowship along the journey is beautiful as well. The symbolism of the law through Moses is wonderful. I could go on and on. Truly a must read!

The Pilgrim's Progress taught by somebody who truly understands the meaning ought to be taught in every church.

This classic is as relevent today as it was when first published. Great encouragement in our lives for Christ

This book teaches the Christian instructions that will be helpful to the diligent Christian reader.The only thing that is lamentable is that I did not know the small size of the book and some of the texts are written in really small print. I wish they could specify the actual characteristic in the book ad, eg: book size, print size, etc.

I indentify with John Bunyons allegory in my personal walk of sactification. It is also the perfect gift for a saved person starting the walk toward regeneration and sanctification. The journey is one of experience and guidance by the Holy Spirit: not an intellectual effort. At this very reasonable price, the book costs little more than many tracts. I find it an aid in sharing with growing Christians.
