Product Description
John G. Reisinger, well-know and well-loved evangelist, author, and teacher of the Word of God for over fifty years continues, with this booklet, to explore the relationship between law and grace—specifically the relationship of the New Covenant saint to the keeping of the seventh day Sabbath.In exploring a treatise on this topic by John Bunyan, John Reisinger shows that: “Bunyan proves beyond question the following: (1) the seventh day Sabbath was not given to Adam; it was first made known to Israel at Sinai. (2) The seventh day Sabbath is not a moral commandment: it is a ceremonial commandment. (3) The seventh day Sabbath was given only to the Nation of Israel; never to the Gentiles.”If you struggle with understanding how to keep the Sabbath, this booklet will be of great help. ...

Pilgrim'a Progress
This is a time honored book, of which I am using as a text book in my adult Sunday School Class. I am using Maureen L. Bradley's "Study Guide" as an outline to the study. I have only one criticism of the book; they left out the scriptural references, which are found in earlier publication and/or by other publisher's. The book itself was received in excellent condition, and in a timely manner.

intriguing
I decided I wanted to read this book a while ago and found it for a great price here on Amazon (around $3-$4). Originally a little turned off by the language, I soon found it very intriguing and an all around great story. I would recommend it for anyone with an interest in the Christian faith and I would assume it to be a pretty interesting otherwise. I am nearly done with Christian's journey and looking forward to the second part as well.

What can I possibly add?
This book is necessary reading by everyone.Assuredly, every Christian should read it to gain strength and encouragement.It is as relevant today as it was when it was first written. If you need a deeper insight into the Christian walk, via the allegory, this timeless masterpiece will help.Should you want to better understand the trials and sufferings a believer faces, read the book and let it speak to you.

After the Bible and Mere Christianity, this is MUST READING.

A Christian Classic
Written primarily while Bunyan was in prison for preaching outside of the Church of England during the late 1600s, this allegory marks the steps of a character named Christian through a journey to the Celestial City (Heaven). Disgusted by his life of carnality in his home town, Christian sets off on a journey prompted by talking with a man named Evangelist. He goes through a variety of struggles and eventually arrives at the cross where Christ takes his burden away.

He then continues on his journey and has to fight an apocalyptic dragon known as Apollyon who wants him to return to his former life then attempts to kill him. Christian uses the sword of the Spirit (aka the Bible) to combat the dragon and continues on his journey. He also goes through the valley of the shadow of death.

A friend that he meets along the way is named Faithful and travels with him a while until they reach the town of Vanity Fair. It is here where their steadfastness and commitment to their faith and striving for the Celestial City causes an uproar amongst the citizens of the city. Christian and Faithful are imprisoned and then Faithful is burned at the stake sending him on to the presence of Christ early.

Christian escapes and continues in his journey while picking up another companion named Hopeful. They encounter people such as Flatterer who leads them astray, the giant Despair, Atheist, and countless other such characters who's actions are described by their names.

Eventually, Christian and Hopeful arrive in the Celestial City and are welcomed in by the King. As I read this passage, it made me think of finishing a race in which the crowd is lining the passageway and cheering the runners on to the finish. It was a neat mental picture of coming home to Heaven having finished the race.

The book provides good insight as to both the Christian life as well as that of people in the world and the various struggles, encounters, and types of people one comes into contact with throughout life. At times, the book was heavy on philosophy and could have used a bit more action rather than long discourse. Though I believe I've seen children's versions of this story, this original version was certainly written for the advanced high school or college level student.

a great book to read...
This book is a classic and a must read for all Christians. You can see yourself in the day to day events that the author describes. Written in the 1600's, it is so relevant to us still today and follows the Bible very well. ... Read more

There should be a book to go along with Part 2! It's great!
Purely by accident did I come across these Tape Albums in the First place but I have to say that my life in Christ was greatly affected from the moment I first popped in the first cassette of Pilgrim's Progress I to finishing the last cassette on Pilgrim's Progress 2: Christiana.I for one am not into "paraphrases" or "updates" but I have found that Mr. Pappas did a superb and stellar job!And the voice talents that are utilized for this set of cassettes are excellent!You will thoroughly love it and understand why John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" has been around for 400 years and has impacted more people for Christ than any other book ever written save for the Bible itself!This is worth purchasing at any price! ...

Book Description
`I evidently saw that unless the great God of his infinite grace and bounty, had voluntarily chosen me to be a vessel of mercy, though I should desire, and long, and labour until my heart did break, no good could come of it . . .How can you tell you are Elected?'(GA, 47) In seventeenth-century England, the Calvinist doctrine of predestination, with its belief in the predetermined salvation of the few and damnation of the many, led many Christians to an anguished search for evidence of God's favour. John Bunyan's Grace Abounding records this spiritual crisis and its gruelling fluctuations between hope and despair in all its psychological intensity.It is a classic of spiritual autobiography - a genre which flourished in seventeenth-century England, as anxiety over one's spiritual state encouraged rigorous self-scrutiny and the sharing of spiritual experiences.This edition sets Grace Abounding alongside four of the most interesting and varied contemporary spiritual autobiographies, making its cultural milieu more meaningful to the modern reader. ...
