Description
Since first encountering John Bunyan's works as a child, Faith Cook has had a fascination and love for the writing and life of the author of The Pilgrim's Progress, one of the best-loved and most widely read books in the history of English Literature.
This well-paced and accessible biography tells the story of Bunyan's life from his early years, to his career as a soldier in the English Civil War, through to his conversion, life as a preacher and subsequent imprisonment. While Bunyan lived in a very different time, his experience of suffering and perseverance serves as an example and encouragement for believers walking their own pilgrim path today.
