The Pilgrim's Progress has become the world's second most printed book, after the Bible. The story of Christian and his perilous journey towards the Celestial City is loved by many, and so too was its author John Bunyan, the People's Pilgrim. Bunyan's own life was one marked by trial and suffering, including twelve years in prison for refusing to stop preaching the gospel. Bunyan used this time to grow closer to God and to pen some of the acknowledged classics of English literature. Written in the style of his popular biography of C.H. Spurgeon, Peter Morden's engaging account of Bunyan's life is further enhanced by beautiful illustrations.
