More than 100 Original Illustrations Bonus Content: The Life of John Bunyan, by William Brock For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the lords of this age, rulers of this darkness, against spiritual wickedness in the heavens. (Ephesians 6:12) What if you were able to see your life from a spiritual perspective and see the actual reality of the verse above? How does our enemy, Diabolus, plan and carry out his attacks? How do his demons help, and what are their objectives? Why and how must we petition Emmanuel to get His attention and help in this great, holy war? Written four years after The Pilgrim's Progress, John Bunyan followed...read more

Readers familiar with Pilgrim’s Progress will recognize that many of the allegorical points in his famous work came out of Bunyan’s own struggles and discoveries, and it has been said that Bunyan could not have written Pilgrim’s Progress without...read more

This is a short and honest account of how God demonstrated His exceeding great mercy to His unworthy servant, John Bunyan. This story specifically tells how Bunyan was converted. John Bunyan was a companion of sin and was troubled by sin. He fought temptation and sin in his own strength and lost, and in despair he gave up hope of ever finding God’s mercy; but the Lord Jesus Christ at last delivered him from the guilt and terror that so often and so viciously troubled him. In addition to this, a short account of Bunyan’s call to the work of the ministry is told, along with the trials and trouble he encountered – including some of the difficulties he faced while in prison. This is...read more

The Heavenly Footman is a fast-paced and direct challenge to every Christian to “run the race to win”! Footman is no reference to an infantryman or an aristocrat’s servant, but refers to those who are travelling on foot to a distant country, engaged in a pilgrimage from earth to heaven. John Bunyan uses the allegory of the runner to picture the Christian’s race through this world to win the heavenly prize. Indeed, they that will have heaven must run for it. “They which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize…so run, that ye may obtain” (1Co 9:24). He understands that most are too casual in their approach to the Christian life. Their vigilance looks more like...read more

'El caminante celestial es un desafío rápido y directo a todo cristiano para que 'corra la carrera para ganar'. el caminante no es una referencia a un soldado de infantería o a un sirviente de un aristócrata, sino que se refiere a los que viajan a pie a un país lejano, comprometidos en una peregrinación de la tierra al cielo. John Bunyan utiliza la alegoría del corredor para representar la carrera del cristiano por este mundo para ganar el premio celestial. En efecto, los que quieren tener el cielo deben correr por él. 'Los que corren en una carrera corren todos, pero uno solo recibe el premio... así que corran para obtenerlo' (1 Corintios 9:24). Entiende que la mayoría de los...read more

John Bunyan admitted he was one of the worst sinners to have ever lived. But after converting to Christianity, he was constantly amazed by the fact that God saved him from his wrongdoings. As a minister of the gospel, he loved to proclaim the grace of God to sinners, and he earnestly persuaded them to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ. Published in 1688, the year of his death, The Jerusalem Sinner Saved brings together the fruit of Bunyan’s thoughts on the grace of forgiveness. With the warmth of a true evangelist, he beautifully reveals the riches of God’s grace and mercy to the greatest of...read more

John Bunyan (November 28, 1628 - August 31, 1688), a Christian writer and preacher, was born at Harrowden (one mile south-east of Bedford), in the Parish of Elstow, England. He wrote The Pilgrim's Progress, arguably the most famous published Christian allegory. In the Church of England he is remembered with a Lesser Festival on 30 August. Bunyan became a popular preacher as well as a prolific author, though most of his works consist of expanded sermons. In theology he was a Puritan, but there was nothing gloomy about him. The portrait his friend Robert White drew, which has often been reproduced, shows the attractiveness of his true character. (Summary from...read more

John Bunyan's classic allegory of the Christian journey of pilgrimage has never lost its power to teach the important truths of Faith. We may prefer our allegories to be a little more sophisticated these days, and feel that characters such as Mr Worldy Wise, Mr Talkative, Giant Despair , Mercy and Great Heart are far from subtle. Yet Bunyan never wanted us in any doubt as to the thrust of his story, and if we can lay aside our 21st Century tendency to equate plain speaking with naivety then 'A Pilgrim's Progress' speaks to us as plainly as it has to generations before about the simple yet profound truths of the Christian Faith. Narrated by Simon Hester. With original...read more

An Unabridged and Fully Updated for Today’s Reader edition of John Bunyan’s 1679 classic, “A Treatise of the Fear of God.” From the book: “Objection. But the Scripture says, ‘perfect love casts out fear.’ Therefore it seems that saints should not fear after they have received the Spirit of adoption, but, as another Scripture says, they should ‘serve him without fear’ (1 John 4:18; Luke 1:74-75). Answer. Fear, as I have shown you, may be taken several ways. First, it may be used for the fear of demons. Second, it may be used for the fear of unbelievers. Third, it may be used for the fear that the Holy Spirit gives as a spirit of slavery. Or lastly, it may be used for the...read more
