THE PILGRIM'S JOURNEY -- Courteous companions -- Christiana receives a letter -- Christiana departs on her journey -- Mercy follows -- At the narrow-gate -- Assaulted -- At the house of interpreter -- Accompanied by great-heart -- Hill of difficulty -- Onward toward the beautiful palace -- In the palace -- Doctor skill -- Through the valley of humiliation -- Mr. Honesty -- Talk of Mr. Self-will At the inn -- The rescue of feeble-mind -- At vanity fair -- The end of despair -- Blessings on the mountains -- Valiant-for-truth -- Enchanted ground -- In Beulah -- The master calls -- Appendix One -- About Bunyan -- Appendix Two -- Author's apology.
"As I walked through the wilderness of this world, I came upon a certain place where there was a den, (Bedford jail) and I lay down in that place to sleep; and as I slept, I dreamed a dream. I dreamt I saw a man clothed with rags, standing in a certain place, with his face turned from his own house, a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back." And so begins one of the clearest metaphors, start to finish, of a true Christian life. Although written three hundred and twenty-five years ago, the allegoric visions in "Pilgrim's Progress," are as fresh and vivid as tomorrow's sunrise. This new unabridged version of the old classic just sharpens those images in up-to-date language, which doesn't remove the beautiful quaintness of the original.
