Endorsements
‘It is a masterpiece of piety and genius; and will, we doubt not, be of standing use to the people of God so long as the sun and moon endure.’ — A. M. TOPLADY
‘Read anything of his, and you will see that it is almost like reading the Bible itself. He had read it till his whole being was saturated with Scripture; and, though his writings are charmingly full of poetry, yet he cannot give us his Pilgrim’s Progress – without continually making us feel and say, “Why, this man is a living Bible!”’ — C. H. SPURGEON
Book Description
Although John Bunyan’s Pilgrim emerged in Puritan dress from the Town Prison on Bedford Bridge in 1676, he has remained to this day, in more than 120 languages, an influence which is almost as wide as Christianity itself. Many explanations are offered for the book’s enduring appeal—the masterly allegory which can charm both child and adult; the great humanness of the characters who, after a few rapid strokes, appear in flesh and blood likeness; the plain, vivid English—and yet all these things are secondary.
Above all, Pilgrim’s Progress is a life story. It depicts the life which Bunyan himself lived and, at the same time, the life with which all Christians can substantially identify themselves. For, as Augustus M. Toplady wrote, the book describes ‘every stage of a Christian’s experience, from conversion to glorification.’ It does so with such abiding relevance because Bunyan’s world of thought is that of the Bible itself.
This re-typeset edition of Pilgrim’s Progress is based on the edition published by John C. Nimmo in 1895. It includes marginal notes and Scripture references, together with the fine etchings by William Strang.

David –
I bought a bunch of these for my friends and me. Banner of Truth’s edition of The Pilgrim’s progress is the best one anyone could pick up. Sturdy hardback, sewn binding, and beautiful high quality paper, and perfect dimensions are some of the things that will make this edition a lifelong friend. Thought about buying another one for myself for backup.
Willem –
Beautiful presentation, especially the illustrations. Ultimately the beauty lies not in the appearance however, but in Bunyan’s brilliant portrayal of the Christian life. It overflows with biblical truth!
Fred –
This is one of my favorite books by John Bunyan. I have listened to it being read more then once and I enjoyed it. It is really well done. I bought more then one copy to give away.
Jeremy –
Great book. Must read.
Robert Norman –
Wonderful allegory of the soul’s journey from worldliness to eternal salvation. Immensely practical and a great story of Christian experience.
Keifer Navey –
I don’t have to tell you how good this book is. Both believers and nonbelievers around the world know the story of Christian and his journey to be relieved of his great burden.
But I will tell you about this very special edition. Republished by @banneroftruth this gorgeous edition is for longtime fans of the book and those who have yet to read it for themselves. It’s for pastors to revisit over a lifetime of ministry. It’s for mom and dads to read aloud to the kids over and over.
It’s hardback, smyth-sewn, and filled with marginal notes. The typeset is readable and the size is comfortable. I say that because it’s the perfect size for holding with one hand while you hold your child as you read aloud.
This was Charles Spurgeon’s favorite book and it’s one of mine as well. It’s a timeless story that every time you pick it up you feel like your reading a biography of your own life. I highly recommend this book to you, and specifically this beautiful edition. It’s perfect for reading as a family after family worship or just cover to cover in a sitting or two.
