For more than two centuries, The Pilgrim’s Progress has encouraged believers along the narrow way. Now, in this newly updated edition, Charles H. Spurgeon – who read Bunyan’s classic more than one hundred times – walks with readers through the allegory’s most memorable scenes, illuminating the spiritual truths within “that sweetest of all prose poems.”
Originally delivered as Monday evening addresses and published post-posthumously by Spurgeon’s son Thomas, these messages reveal Spurgeon at his pastoral best: warm, practical, biblical, and deeply earnest for the salvation and spiritual growth of his hearers. With vivid insight, he explores Christian’s early companions: the Swamp of Despond, the gate of salvation, the battle with Apollyon, the dangers of Vanity Fair, and more – drawing lessons for young and seasoned travelers alike.
Rich with Scripture, full of spiritual counsel, and alive with Spurgeon’s unmistakable voice, Pictures from Pilgrim’s Progress invites you to walk again with Christian, see yourself in Bunyan’s characters, and grow in love for both the allegory and the Word of God that shaped it.
A timeless help for all who seek the Celestial City.
