PILGRIM’S PROGRESS

John Bunyan

John Bunyan’s immortal classic Pilgrim’s Progress is one of the best-selling books of all time and holds a unique place in the history of English literature. An allegory of the man named Christian, the book depicts the life of a born-again believer and his struggles and victories through his pilgrimage to heaven. It follows the journey of Christian from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, a story that has brought comfort and inspiration to millions of believers.

C.S Lewis once wrote that it is only in fiction that truth is shown in its most authentic light. Masked behind the journey of Bunyan’s fictional characters is revelation of the journey we all face in life. For some this is a journey of discovery, for others enlightenment and others still for healing and renewal. Yet reinforced through Bunyan’s book is the simple revelation that truth is not found in the journey but rather in its end.
