The Pilgrim's Progress (AmazonClassics Edition)

By: John Bunyan

Narrated by: Steve West

Plagued by spiritual anguish, devout everyman Christian fears his fate in the sinful City of Destruction. He’s told that only by embarking for the Celestial City can he achieve personal salvation. After his wife and children refuse to join him, he sets forth alone into the unknown. Mocked for his faith, tempted at every turn, and heartened by fellow pilgrims, Christian’s winding journey toward grace unfolds. But as he reaches Mount Zion, his family chooses to follow the same treacherous path, hoping to join Christian in the shining light.

John Bunyan began to write The Pilgrim’s Progress while in prison for nonconformist preaching. His dream-framed allegory, edited in 1909 by American clergyman Jesse Lyman Hurlbut, stands as one of the most profoundly influential novels ever written.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Pilgrim’s Progress, this edition of The Pilgrim’s Progress (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Wish the book was as good as the narration!

Steve West's narration is great, but I will continue to listen to him with a different audio selection. Bible preaching by any other name is just as sanctimonious. I am doing a sampling of classic books, but didn't enjoy this one.

narrator

the story was wonderful I had c to listen to it twice! Thanks I don't have the time to read

I wish I had read this when I was younger

Such a great classic novel. I wish I had read it when I was younger, because it would have, I am sure, lead me through many trials and difficult times with more confidence in the Christian Faith.

Still a Classic

This engaging audible rendition of the whole three parts of The Pilgrim's Progress makes for enjoyable listening and serious reflection on the Christian's life in (but not of) this world. It is also quite fun to follow the story and conversations in "Old English" as if part of an historic narrative.

Great

Other than the Bible itself, this is probably one of the greatest stories I’ve ever read
