Book

The pilgrim's progress : from this world to that which is to come / John Bunyan ; updated by C.J. Lovik ; illustrated by Michael Wimmer.

Bunyan, John, 1628-1688 (Author). Lovik, Craig John, 1946- (Added Author).

Summary:

Written in the form of a highly imaginative allegory, The Pilgrim's Progress tells the unforgettable story of Christian and the extreme, soul-threatening dangers he encounters on his journey to the Celestial City. But it is also much more than an allegory; in a sense, it is both the personal story of Bunyan and the universal story of anyone who undertakes the same eternal pilgrimage. The result is a masterpiece of literature as well as spiritual truth-a book that at one time was loved and read in nearly every home in England and North America, a book that has endured as a classic for more than three centuries.
