The story begins in an unfortunate place called City of Destruction in which Christian lives in the company of his family, wife and children. Cristiano appears on the scene with a book in his hands, dressed in rags, with eyes full of tears, lamenting the news he has received through this mysterious book, namely, his city, City of Destruction, will be destroyed with fire heaven and all its inhabitants will be brought to trial for their crimes against the fairest King. Desperate, Christian tries in vain to persuade his family to leave this city to save their lives, but they, showing a deep disinterest in his words, call him mad or sick. Faced with such a desperate situation, Cristiano goes out into the forest to mourn his ruin when suddenly a man named Evangelista (the one who bears good news) approaches him with a radical message, namely, HUYE DE LA ARRO COMA, that will fall on this city and escapes to the Celestial City, home of the fairest of Kings; without thinking for a minute and before the possibility of escaping from such a fate, Christian begins his pilgrimage to salvation.

The Pilgrim's Progress is a truly wonderful book. It is second only to the Bible in popularity in England. I believe it should be so in America, also. This rendering of the book, with it's beautiful illustrations, and fine paper is exceptional. This book merits being read and enjoyed over and over.

Jazzy adaptation
This was a different experience than I'd anticipated...The book is an adaptation of the original, though enjoyable, too!
Thanks!

Book Review of Pilgrim's Progress
5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan, December 28, 2009
Some say that John Bunyan's famous allegory about Pilgrim's journey to the Celestial City is second only to the Bible itself in the number of copies sold worldwide. First published in 1678, this 330 year old allegory written by John Bunyan while incarcerated for preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ without a license is as pertinent today as it was when it was written.
Quick Review
This book is an essential read because of its simplicity and its depth. The Christian reader will identify quickly with the main character and many (if not all depending on the readers disciplined walk) of the people, places, and themes encountered. The reader will know that the issues he/she faces today are issues faced by all Christians as they walk through this life on their way to their eternal home.

This book is a classic. A new Christian would be well served to read this book. It will certainly challenge the modern view of the prosperity gospel. Do you love what is on the KINGS table or do you love the KING?

Heart Touching
Since the book is in old english, it is somewhat hard to adjust to, but worth sticking to it. It is a good read for the soul and spirit. It makes it very easy to relate to circumstances that the characters are going through, because we have all been in one or more of those places.
