About this audiobook
Often disguised as something that would help him, evil accompanies Christian on his journey to the Celestial City. As you walk with him, you'll begin to identify today's many religious pitfalls. These are presented by men such as Pliable, who turns back at the Slough of Despond; and Ignorance, who believes he's a true follower of Christ when he's really only trusting in himself. Each character represented in this allegory is intentionally and profoundly accurate in its depiction of what we see all around us, and unfortunately, what we too often see in ourselves. But while Christian is injured and nearly killed, he eventually prevails to the end. So can you.
The best part of this book is the Bible verses added to the text. The original Pilgrim's Progress listed the Bible verse references, but the verses themselves are so impactful when tied to the scenes in this allegory, that they are now included within the text of this book. The text is tweaked just enough to make it readable today, for the young and the old. Youngsters in particular will be drawn to the original illustrations included in this wonderful classic.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a great book that breaks down the meanings in the Bible with vivid descriptions. It is loved by many and considered a new favorite, second only to the holy Bible. The tale of Christian and Christiana's journey is relatable to every Christian, filled with adversity and peril. The allegory is still relevant today and is a must-read for believers. It is uplifting and reminds readers of their own pilgrimage, discussing eternal life. It is worth reading multiple times, as Mr. Spurgeon read it over 100 times.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is so uplifting! It made me remember many moments of my own pilgrimage which is so precious to a Christian. It is the most marvellous allegory ever written, one that talks about eternal life. It is worth reading it many times as Mr. Spurgeon said , no wonder why he read it over 100 times !

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Christian and Christiana’s journey are tales that every Christian can relate to. Full of adversity, peril, with some foes that are blatantly wicked and others more deceitful.
The Pilgrim’s Progress is long and hard, and yet, it is the only path that leads to life.
Like the Bible, John Bunyan’s allegory is still as relevant to the modern day pilgrim as it was to the pilgrim’s of the 17th century.
A must read for every Believer.1 person found this helpful
