Gekürzte Fassung neu bearbeitet. Ein Literaturklassiker aus dem 17. Jahrhundert. Dieses Buch war nicht nur zu Bunyans Zeit wegweisend, sondern es hat seit seinem ersten Erscheinen 1682 bis heute den Glauben vieler Christen weltweit gestärkt. John Bunyans Leben war stark geprägt von geistlichen Kämpfen und Versuchungen. Martin Luthers Auslegung des Galaterbriefes öffnete ihm die Augen für die Gnade Christi im Evangelium. In Seiner Gnade befreite der Herr ihn von seinen Qualen und führte ihn zu gottgeweihter Liebe und Hingabe. Er begann zu predigen und kam dafür ins Gefängnis.

For 300 years, The Pilgrim's Progress has remained perhaps the best-loved and most read of devotional fictions. In plain yet powerful and moving language, Bunyan tells the story of Christian's struggle to attain salvation and the Gates of Heaven. He must pass through the Slough of Despond, ward off the temptations of Vanity Fair, and fight the monstrous Apollyon. In Part II, his wife and children follow the same path, helped and protected by Great-heart, until for them, too, "the trumpets sound on the other side."

In Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, John Bunyan recounts his inner thoughts as he grappled with his faith. Bunyan takes us through the struggle of his own sin and how grace led him from a conflicted conscience to a powerful preacher of the gospel. Modern listeners will find encouragement in Bunyan’s remedies for his own troubled conscience, as well as hope that God has used so greatly a man who struggled so deeply.

Often disguised as something that would help him, evil accompanies Christian on his journey to the Celestial City. As you walk with him, you'll begin to identify today's many religious pitfalls. These are presented by men such as Pliable, who turns back at the Slough of Despond; and Ignorance, who believes he's a true follower of Christ when he's really only trusting in himself.

To the mind enlightened by divine truth, the difference between a filial fear of offending God and the dread of punishment is very plain. Still, by the devil's sophistry, some of the most pious Christians have been puzzled and bewildered.
