Rating:  Summary: Genious Allegory of the Christian Life - Timeless! Review: This book is truly a literary classic! Although written over 400 years ago, this allegory of the Christian life is still relevant today. It still speaks to incredible depths of the Christian experience, the struggles as well as the joys. You'll feel the emotion of "Christian" as he encouters a number of characters, all named for their particular life experience.I have read this book 4 times in the last 10 years, and plan to again this year. Everytime I pick it up my relationship with God is strengthened. I have also refered to it many times in conversation. What more could you ask for in a book! If you're not comfortable with the old english, then try a modern language version. Either way you won't be disappointed. I guarantee it!
Rating:  Summary: Fall in love with a classic! Review: This Protestant book is a classic. We become John Pilgrim as we make our way back to heaven. The second part tracks the journey of his wife, so we have early Protestant feminism here! Bunyan is quite insightful about the world, and should be lauded for coining the term "Vanity Fair." This book is so inspiritng--and necessary for understanding C. S. Lewis's "Pilgrim's Regress."
