Reviews - What do customers think about Pilgrims Progress (Updated)?
 | Book great, binding awful Mar 24, 2010 |
| This is an excellent edition of the Pilgrim's Progress. I would recommend it to anyone. BUT the pages were incorrectly bound and the book does not close properly - there is a definite "wave" to the pages and space between the pages and the covers when the book is closed. This has happened repeatedly with my orders - two from one account and one from another. | | |  | Preserving the Literary Beauty while Updating the Language Oct 22, 2009 |
There is little argument that no book, outside of the Bible, has had more impact on Christians throughout the last 400 hundred years than Bunyan's classic The Pilgrim's Progress. It is a clear and instructive narrative of so much of the Christian experience of being drawn to Christ, preserved by grace, and delivered into his presence. In my own life I have anchored various moments in Bunyan's imagery, whether the slough of despond or Mr Wordly Wiseman or our friend Goodwill at the Sheep Gate. The book is just a literary and spiritual jewel.
But...there has often been a problem for me in personally getting all that I can get out of it and sharing it with my family. I have often felt like I had to do a lot of extra reading (commentaries) and personal paraphrasing in order to explain the details to my kids (ranging from 4 mos to 14 yrs).
Thankfully the good folks at Crossway publishing have given folks like me a hand. They have published this deluxe hardback edition filled with all kinds of helps to make things easier for us. There are Scripture references at the bottom 0f each page to indicate the passages that correlate to narrative. There is also a comprehensive commentary in the back of the book to further explain various passages. This is not just a few but dozens of explanations of passages that may be hard to understand at first.
Furthermore, and perhaps most importantly, C.J. Lovik has done a fantastic job updating the language for modern readers without compromising the literary beauty of the book.
With this also are forty all-new, full-page, color illustrations by award-winning illustrator Mike Wimmer. This is truly a treat. Wimmer is a terrific artist. His art really serves to help you explain various features when reading the book aloud to a group, like in my case to my family. Our kids often grab the book individually when a picture comes up and stare at it, dissecting the details and processing the reading. It is truly a great combination.
This is a great tool to escort the younger generations into the world of Bunyan's allegorical masterpiece. | | | | Well done, but Oct 14, 2009 |
I've read a few versions of Pilgrim's Progress, including a childrens version that our family reads every summer (Little Pilgrim's Progress: From John Bunyan's Classic (The Message)). This one seems to be done well, preserving the story, adjusting the language, and including pictures. The book even has sewn binding. What I found disappointing is that it does not include the second half of the story about Christiana. It ends with Christian entering the celestial city. If you're okay with that, then I think you will appreciate this modern edition.
