BP: It has been fifty some odd years since I first read this book and having read it again I wish that in that time I had read it fifty times.

R A.: loved this timeless book and have always thought to read it but never took the time always being too busy with too much to do as is typical of many. now I have in me a greater understanding of my life. I believe this book is for everyone and will bring revelation to all who are open and willing to accept themselves in the pages of this story.

J.R.: Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan is
2nd most published book in the history of printing (the Bible is, by far, the most published book in history). It was required reading in almost all American schools for centuries. If a book is continually in print and continually popular for almost 350 years, it probably deals with universal themes and serious issues to which everyone can relate, in ways that are both entertaining and profound. Such is the extended allegory Pilgrim's Progress.

Per Wikipedia: "It has been translated into more than 200 languages and never been out of print...The first North American edition was issued in 1681. It has also been cited as the first novel written in English. According to literary editor Robert McCrum, "there's no book in English, apart from the Bible, to equal Bunyan's masterpiece for the range of its readership, or its influence on writers as diverse as C. S. Lewis, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Charles Dickens, Louisa May Alcott, George Bernard Shaw, William Thackeray, Charlotte Bronte, Mark Twain, John Steinbeck and Enid Blyton."

If you haven't already, you really should read this book (preferably in the Banner of Truth...

Friedrich Trein: Ich weiß nicht, ob der Besitzer oder der Versender geraucht hat: Das Büchlein hat stark nach Qualm gerochen. Muss gelüftet werden (ich bin Nichtraucher). Sonst ein schönes Buchlein für die Tasche.

Diana S. Long: Written by English dissenter John Bunyan in the 17th century it would be deemed an important work in religious literature because of it's simplicity. The common people might not be able to understand the scriptures from the Bible or Book of Common Prayer but this story is easily understood even by children. My version includes a preface which tells a brief history of the author and it is most valuable and of interest. Bunyan writes as a narrator of a dream, a man called Christian (aptly named) leaves his home in the city of Destruction, where sin runs rampant and is about to be destroyed and sets out on a Pilgrimage to save his soul. Along his path he meets various people who all have meaningful names and they will either help or try to hinder him. Just as in life it's all about choices, Christian has to decide who to trust and who not to trust. The author also has many songs, poems and quotes within the story. The fact that Bunyan wrote this work rather than just bide his time in prison shows remarkable character and spirituality in the man, just reading this you can feel he is very passionate in his beliefs.
