'The Pilgrim's Progress' written by John Bunyan is one of the most famous and well-read books of the English language. David Calhoun tells us about Bunyan's life as well as analyzing his books and theology. Bunyan was an English Baptist pastor whose influence through 'The Pilgrim's Progress' could be said to have shaped the British and American psyche. Bunyan was more than an imprisoned tinker with time on his hands, he wrote many other books and was a key figure in British history during momentous nation-changing events. David includes summaries of Pilgrim's Progress (parts 1 & 2), the Holy War, the Life and Death of Mr Badman (Bunyan's alternative to The Life and Death of Christian) and Bunyan's other writings. Useful appendices are included on contemporary places to visit on the trail of Bunyan and how Pilgrims Progress has been adapted for children. David Calhoun has brought together a beautiful book on the life, works and influence of a famous historical figure.
"In this discourse of mine, you may see much; much I say, of the grace of God towards me." -John Bunyan For four centuries, Christians in all countries have cherished the immortal allegory, Pilgrim’s Progress. This allegory was not the product of a fervid imagination but was rooted in the experiences of a deeply religious man whose story is recounted in this autobiography. John Bunyan was a Baptist preacher, an author, and a prisoner for his faith. He was fervently devoted to his family, and devoutly Puritan in his worship and theology. Nevertheless, as the pages of this book reveal, Bunyan was quite human. His struggles with sin, with doubt, with temptation, and his heartfelt desire for a true relationship with God permeate the pages of this work. Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners has endured through the centuries because its relevance is timeless and resonates with believers in every age.
What sustains Christians when they are confronted with tragedy and grief? How do Christians live in the changed world of post- 9/11 reality? Stephen Paul Bouman addresses these questions as he shares his own personal story and the stories of others. In Scripture God's promises are made real, says Bouman. God's faithfulness is expressed on the ground, in places of hurt and hope. The passion emanating from Ground Zero in New York has become, for him, a kind of Holy Land, and it is from that Holy Land that he offers this book as a kind of "diary of an urban bishop," looking at tragedy and loss through the eyes of a pastor called to be a bishop. With awe and respect for the many people whose faith and compassion have left a mark on his life, Bouman explores the struggle between doubt and faith and the effort to pray in the midst of grief.
