'...A critical and empathetic narration of the life and influence of...the Swiss reformer. The author...achieves historical accuracy in a lovely manner allowing the reader to participate in the life of the pioneer of Reformed Protestantism - a person, who was in no way perfect, but a true lover of the Gospel.' Peter Opitz, Professor of Church History and Reformation Theology, University of Zurich

John Bunyan's timeless classic of the Christian's dangerous journey through this valley of tears has been read and loved since he first penned it while in Bedford jail for preaching the gospel. First published in 1678 it has been in print ever since. This version keeps the flavour of Bunyan's original but has been gently and skilfully updated so that it is fully accessible to the twenty-first century reader. The great Victorian preacher Charles Spurgeon said of this book: Next to the Bible, the book that I value most is John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. I believe I have read it through at least a hundred times! It is a volume of which I never seem to tire; and the secret of its freshness is that it is so largely compiled from the Scriptures. It is really Biblical teaching put into the form of a simple yet very striking allegory. This edition has been produced by EP in co-operation with Grace Gems (gracegems.org), who provided the text.

John Bunyon was an English 17th Christian writer and preacher. He is best known for his allegory The Pilgrims Progress. Bunyon was imprisoned for preaching without a license. This confinement lasted 12 years. Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners is an autobiography of a deeply spiritual man. Bunyon describes his flight against sin, his struggle with unbelief and his eventual acceptance of faith. This is an inspirational glimpse into the developing faith of a man.

This title has just been reprinted with another message added. Regarding one of its messages, "Slipping Into Hell," an Iowa businessman testified: "...should be listed among the masterpieces of evangelical literature." The late Dr. John R. Rice, founder and editor of The Sword of the Lord, wrote: "We cannot recommend too strongly that every home possible should own this book. These sermons will inspire and start fires burning and give suggestions and illustrations and outlines for preachers...They read easily and leave a lasting impact." And the Baptist Bible Tribune said: "As in any of Sumner's works, the material is clearly marked by those attributes which equip him for his multifarious duties. As winner of the first place prize in a national contest of sermons, the author displays an adequate knowledge in the science of homiletics and proves his ability to arrange and present material...The mes-sages are bibliocentric and worthy of a place in your library." 124 pages.
