The Pilgrim’s Progress

by John Bunyan

The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan (1628-1688) remains essential reading because its spiritual truth and lyrical beauty endure. Bunyan asks readers to “lay my book, your head and heart together.”

In The Pilgrim’s Progress, Bunyan has pictured for readers the journey of a lifetime. His audience can have no better response than that of Christiana: “I think it is now time to rise and to know what we must do.”
