Enter the captivating, allegorical world of one of the most influential books in all of Christendom. A treasure trove of spiritual truths, John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress has encouraged and delighted countless weary sojourners along their way to the Celestial City. Charles Spurgeon begins his commentary on Pilgrim’s Progress by calling it “next to the Bible, the book I value most.” What is it about this beloved classic that has so greatly encouraged and delighted Christians since its first publication in 1678? It surely begins with the fact that John Bunyan sought, as much as possible, to ground his story in the truths of Scripture.\n

Part 1 follows the pilgrim Christian on his journey from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City.\n
