Strengthen your faith with this exquisite collection of classic Christian literature by the gifted and highly acclaimed John Bunyan. While imprisoned in the 17th century for not conforming with the Church of England, Bunyan, a lay preacher, penned the timeless Pilgrim's Progress known today as one of the most inspiring allegories of the Christian faith ever written and the second most read book in the world. Many recipients of this keepsake endeavor to read it through each year.

This Christian classic, steeped in simple, vigorous and beautiful prose, transports readers of all ages into a powerful drama revealing the difficult and yet sanctifying trials faced by every Christian pilgrim. Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, so highly treasured this metaphorical wonder he read it over 100 times. Pilgrim's Progress has been mandatory reading for many generations of Christian students and families. Its message, a strong bastion of truth and courage, is a timeless gift to the Church.
