John Bunyan was a leading Puritan preacher during the 17th century. Bunyan was also well known for being a prolific Christian author and The Pilgrim's Progress is regarded as one of the most famous books of Christian literature ever written. Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners is one of the most insightful religious autobiographies. Bunyan describes his lifelong struggles with sin, his beliefs, and much more.

In this discourse of mine, you may see much; much I say, of the grace of God towards me: I thank God, I can count it much; for it was above my sins and Satan’s temptations too. I can remember my fears and doubts, and sad months, with comfort; they are as the head of Goliah in my hand: there was nothing to David like Goliah’s sword, even that sword that should have been sheathed in his bowels; for the very sight and remembrance of that did preach forth God’s deliverance to him. Oh! the remembrance of my great sins, of my great temptations, and of my great fear of perishing for ever! They bring afresh into my mind, the remembrance of my great help, my great supports from heaven, and the great grace that God extended to such a wretch as I. I could have enlarged much in this my discourse, of my temptations and troubles for sin; as also of the merciful kindness and working of God with my soul: I could also have stepped into a style much higher than this, in which I have here discoursed, and could have adorned all things more than here I have seemed to do, but I dare not: God did not play in tempting of me; neither did I play, when I sunk as into the bottomless pit, when the pangs of hell caught hold upon me; wherefore I may not play in relating of them, but be plain and simple, and lay down the thing as it was; he that liketh it, let him receive it, and he that doth not, let him produce a better. - Taken from "Grace Abounding To The Chief Of Sinners" written by John Bunyan

John Bunyan (1628-1688) is most famously known for writing "The Pilgrim's Progress", a two-part allegory of the Christian pilgrimage toward salvation. The wildly popular book was written in Bedford during Bunyan's time in prison-he was sentenced to twelve years for holding unlicensed church services. During this time Bunyan also completed an autobiography recounting the story of his own conversion from a life of sin and impiety to one of virtue and spiritual regeneration. "Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners" illustrates the tenets of Puritanism through what Bunyan saw as God's saving grace in his own life. He reflects on a sinful youth, and how it led him towards an impious adulthood. Those who read the novel are comforted by Bunyan's honest admission to feelings of despair and doubt; even today, many people can identify with his struggles, and find inspiration in his faith and religious conviction.

Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners is one of the great classic autobiographies, part of the Christian tradition of testimony from The Confessions of St. Augustine to Corrie Ten Boom's The Hiding Place. In Grace Abounding, John Bunyan (1628?1688), the author of Pilgrim's Progress, describes his conviction of sin, his struggles against unbelief, his entrance into the meaning and comfort of the Holy Scriptures, and much more.

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.

Grace Abounding is the religious life story of John Bunyan, who also wrote Pilgrim’s Progress, probably among the very important writings of Christian collected works, second only to the Holy Bible. Grace Abounding is about John’s great efforts to search for truthful atonement and mercy, his tussle with the evils of lures of skepticism, his ease brought about by the Bible and his supreme win acquired by the blessing of God by means of his Son Jesus Christ. Perusers acquainted with Pilgrim’s Progress will understand that most of the figurative features in his popular book materialized of John’s personal efforts and encounters, and it has been told that John might not have authored Pilgrim’s Progress without first experiencing the struggles recounted in Grace Abounding. John Bunyan was a British novelist and Puritan minister mostly commemorated as the writer of the Christian metaphor The Pilgrim's Progress. In adjunct to The Pilgrim's Progress, John created almost sixty novels, a bunch of them prolonged homilies. He was from the town of Elstow, nearby Bedford. He had particular education and when he was 16 years of age, served in the Parliamentary army in the first phase of the English Civil War. Three years later in the army he went back to Elstow and started the commerce of tinker, which he had been taught from his father. He came to be concerned in spirituality after his matrimony, being present first in the parish church and then adhering the Bedford Meeting, a nonconformist group in Bedford, and became a minister. After the reinstatement of the monarch, when the liberty of nonconformists was truncated, John was apprehended and spent 12 years in prison as he repudiated to renounce sermonizing. In this lifetime he penned a religious autobiography, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, and started writing on his best known novel, The Pilgrim's Progress, which was not printed until many years after his acquittal.
