The Pilgrim’s Progress: A captivating journey through religious history and allegory (Collins Classics)

I read this as a child 55 years ago; then it was just a storyI found this version very readable as an adult and not too cluttered with some of the original theological discussions which you can always read in the full free versions available for the kindle.Surprisingly it kept my attention right to the end and some of the more profound observations ( particularly how crossing Jordan can be different for different Christians ) have stayed with me weeks after finishing the book.I'm not sure how this book will read if you have no faith in Jesus, I guess its either ridiculous or terrifying;but I enjoyed it very much.

Just what I wanted. A classic.

Great book especially if you are new to the faith and need more understanding of it

It took me what seemed like an age to read this book. It was hard to understand and difficult to focus, but I persevered.The author John Bunyan was a Christian preacher who lived from 1628 to 1688. He wrote this book whilst in prison.Christian leaves his home 'City of Destruction' to travel to the 'Celestial City'. On his way he meets Evangelist who helps him follow the right path. He meets quite a few different characters, some of which try to distract him or imprison him. He has to make some big decisions and sometimes suffers cruelly to reach his goal. I was rooting for Christian all the way. His journey was dreadfully hard but the reward was worth it.The story represents our journey through life. If we follow the right path then our reward will be Heaven. There is no doubt this is a religious book however it's also a good story and I am glad I read it.

A literary classic! It is what it says on the tin.

Just started reading it and I love it. Some parts are written in old English but you get what its saying

Simplified, but why keep to the obsolete language?

Read this as a child in a simplified version. Have enjoyed this as an adult, language pleasing bible references helpful and illustrations help to reflect and make real what one has read.

Interesting inspiring content

great book

Commandé car au programme de 4eme de mon fils. Le livre est niais et illisible. Le prof a fini par annuler cette lecture qui ne plaisait à personne

i FEEL THAT THIS BOOK IS A GUIDE FOR ALL MANKIND IN THE PRESENT SITUATION WHEN IT IS FACING PSYCHOLOGICAL CHAOS & THE VALUES ARE DETERIORATING.

Great allegory
