Book Description
The Pilgrim’s Progress has been entertaining and illuminating readers for over three centuries, and there can have been few readers more expert about both the book and its meaning than C.H. Spurgeon. Here we have the greatest of nineteenth-century preachers setting forth timeless truths from Bunyan, with infectious enthusiasm about his favourite author. ‘The reason for his liking is not far to seek,’ writes Spurgeon’s son and successor in his Introduction. ‘They both loved “the Book of books.”’ Just so, today’s reader will come away from these chapters with a renewed appreciation not only of Bunyan and Spurgeon, but of the truth and wisdom of the Scriptures.

This is an excellent book! I am so glad that the Banner has published this awesome work. C.H. Spurgeon’s personal meditation upon “The Pilgrims Progress” is rich with practical and biblical wisdom for the Christian life. If you love John Bunyan’s allegory, then Spurgeon’s exposition and application of it in this book will be sweet and refreshing.
