Synopsis:

A Timeless Tale of Adventure and Courage
 
Acclaimed as one of the greatest literary masterpieces in the world, John Bunyan’s beloved allegory has captivated reader’s attention for centuries while providing insight into the Christian life.
 
Now, a modern-language translation with vivid illustrations brings this epic journey to life. Follow Christian and Christiana, a man and his wife on adventurous odysseys across rough terrain, over sunlit hills, and through dark and foreboding valleys filled with giants, lions, and ruffians. Their trek is an intriguing spiritual allegory for our day, infused with the chivalric adventure of yesterday. Join this heroic pilgrimage as it makes its way from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, whose builder and maker is God.
 

About the Author: John Bunyan (1628–1688) was born in Elstow, England, and his life was spared twice in his early years, something he believed God had done for a special purpose. In November 1660, when Bunyan arrived to preach in the little town of Lower Samsell, he was informed that a warrant had been issued for his arrest. Unwilling to denounce his Christian faith and his calling to the ministry, he was imprisoned for twelve years. Among the many writings he published during his imprisonment are The Holy City, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, and the most famous, The Pilgrim’s Progress. After his release, he continued to write and publish stirring works that have endured through time. Among these classics are The Holy War, Visions of Heaven and Hell, and Journey to Hell: The Life and Death of Mr. Badman.
