The Pilgrim's Progress

By: John Bunyan

Narrated by: Robert Whitfield

Next to The Bible, The Pilgrim's Progress has probably been more widely read than any other book in the English language, and rightfully so. It is considered by most critics as the greatest allegory in any language. And to think that it was written by a jailed tinker who received very little formal education.

This is the enthralling account of a Christian's epic journey. With a burden on his back, Christian reads a book that tells him that the city in which he and his family dwell will be set ablaze. Christian flees from the City of Destruction and journeys through the Slough of Despond, the Interpreter's House, the House Beautiful, the Valley of Humiliation, the Valley of the Shadow of Death, Vanity Fair, Doubting Castle, and the Delectable Mountains, and finally reaches the Celestial City.

Change of pace

Not exactly riveting stuff, with no car chases, CIA double agents or political scheming. It's well worth a listen when you need a change of pace. Whether you're a deeply-religous Christian, vaguely Christian, of another religion, agnostic or atheist, if you want a relaxing, thought-provoking listen, this is worth a download.

Theology in an Allegorical Nugget

Very solid theological teaching. Fresh perspective from most sermons today. The only bad thing about the audio is that you miss the nuances of some of Bunyan's character names that you'd be able to catch seeing it in print.

A Timeless Classic

I must read for all Christians. Proof of the beautiful Solid Faith of past Generations who held forth the Cross until it was time for us to grasp.

Strong heart

I thougholy enjoyed listening to this book. I've seen a movie about the pilgrims progress. It's good to hearing the whole story.

Simply Amazing

This audiobook was awesome. It made a 12 hour trip to Virginia fly by. It included extra parts like the author's bio and a sequel, all for the price of the book. Love it!
