The Pilgrim's Progress

by John Bunyan, Tyler Van Halteren, Lauren Ducommun

Many beautiful versions of John Bunyan's work have been produced over the past three centuries. Often these versions included wood-cut illustrations from some of the finest artists of the day, and yet many of those versions are out of print and few heirloom quality editions exist today. Our desire was to honor the rich legacy of illustrations of The Pilgrim's Progress by including more than one hundred of the best illustrations from previous editions. The language in this book has been carefully modernized to adapt idioms and phrases that would confuse most readers today, while remaining faithful to Bunyan's intent and emphasis. Full scripture references have been included in the margins, along with large font and clear typesetting. Our hope is that, as this story has impacted generations of Christians, this edition will continue the legacy of this book for many generations to come.

Who am I to rate the writing of someone like Paul Bunyan. I'll say 4 stars at times since I was reading this to my kids. There were several very long drawn out monologues that were a little rough to get through. Lithos' adaptation was beautiful and well done. Reading this myself it was well done with beautiful yet easy to understand language. The arguments made by Christian and Hopeful were well thought out and defended by scripture. This copy by Lithos has the scripture quotes in the side margins which is nice! Overall, I was glad for the experience.

A must read for all believers! I can’t believe it’s taken me this long in my walk with Christ to read it! My kids really enjoyed Little Pilgrim’s Progress, but I can’t wait to reread this book alongside them as they get older.
