The Pilgrim's Progress is arguably one of the most widely known allegories ever written. At one time it was considered the most widely read and translated book apart from the Bible in the English language. Missionaries commonly translated it immediately after the Bible. The charm of the work, giving it wide appeal among readers of all possible schools of thought and theology, lies in a powerful story in which the writer makes characters, incidents and scenes live in the imagination of his readers as concrete elements, which are remembered in their own right. In it the reader will find touches of tenderness and quaint humor, bursts of heart-moving eloquence, and pure idiomatic English.

New Life offers valuable help to those who want to overcome sin and live a strong Christian life. While Murray's book is specifically designed for young converts, the text is useful for all. This practical book addresses a variety of topics that Christians, particularly those new to the faith, will find most helpful. Murray discusses how believers should approach things like mission work, prayer, confession, and baptism. The text also provides practical guidance regarding money, self-denial, and the temptations of worldly evil. New Life is a personal devotional, but it is also a useful resource for congregations, small groups, and prayer meetings. The text is easy to understand, and while each entry is relatively brief, scriptural references are supplied for further exploration.

It is through prayer that we have the opportunity to share our deepest sorrows, joys, and desires with the only one who can truly comfort us. Prayer must be a priority. Other Christian duties, such as good works, communion, and church activities, cannot and should not take the place of prayer. In his classic book, The Weapon of Prayer, E.M. Bounds states: "The life of the individual believer, his personal salvation, and personal Christian graces have their being, bloom, and fruitage in prayer." He concludes by providing examples of the power of prayer.
