About the author

Shawn P. Robinson has a passion for teaching God’s Word and seeing people grow in their faith and has had the privilege of serving in Christian ministry as an Associate Pastor, Lead Pastor, and as a Church Planter.

In 2017, a viral infection in his brain pulled him from pastoral ministry, changing the course of his life from a focus on ministry to trying to recover. Eventually, Shawn’s health forced him to step down from his pastoral role. Amid the illness, Shawn began to write a children’s book for his sons and from that grew a passion for writing fiction, which has proven to be an exciting blessing from God during a time when he can no longer serve in vocational ministry.

As Shawn continued to write fiction, learning to trust the Lord in this new direction of life, he quickly found joy both in sharing stories and in sharing gospel allegories.

In time, the Lord laid it on Shawn’s heart to create a modern-day rewrite of Pilgrim’s Progress, one which might not only remain faithful to the original but also be presented in a more contemporary narrative format, hopefully opening up the story to a new generation. With this, Shawn set out to provide study guides with deep and challenging questions based on a Pilgrim’s Progress study he offered to his church years before.

Shawn has a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Studies from Briercrest Bible College in Saskatchewan and a Master of Divinity from Carey Theological College in British Columbia. Shawn is ordained with the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Ontario, Canada. Shawn and his wife and two sons live in Southwestern Ontario.
