The Pilgrim's Progress

I love Pilgrim's Progress and I want everyone to read it! Children should be introduced to it from their earliest years. With this beautiful introduction to John Bunyan's classic allegory, now even the youngest of children can learn about Christian and his dangerous journey from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City. Every parent of little ones should have a copy of this jewel so that their children can start learning this timeless story from their earliest years.

The Pilgrim’s Progress is one of the most beloved—if not the most beloved—Christian allegories of all time. Written by John Bunyan while he was in prison for preaching the gospel, the first part of the book has been in print since 1678. Although Bunyan did not initially publish the book with illustrations, most later editions have included them. However, Cox’s version is both an illustrated and poetic adaptation of Bunyan’s work. As a result, it introduces young children to this important classic in a way that is accessible and engaging. I’ve read Paul and Stephanie Cox’s edition to my kids many times. It is succinct yet captures the heart of Bunyan’s original work, making it memorable through rhyme and beautiful illustrations. I highly recommend this adaptation of the timeless classic.

Few books have had such great historical and global impact as John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress. In print for hundreds of years, Bunyan’s allegory of the Christian life is a staple in Christian homes. In The Pilgrim’s Progress: A Poetic Journey, author and illustrator Paul Cox, of Ref Toons fame, offers a delightful children’s version of this classic. The story of Christian’s escape from the City of Destruction and dangerous journey to the Celestial City comes alive in whimsical rhymes and illustrations. With his characteristic artistic style, Cox portrays the perils of the journey in vivid detail, all the while pointing young readers (and their parents) to the eternal truth that God leads and keeps His people by His grace. Get this wonderful introduction to Pilgrim’s Progress into the hands of the children in your life and watch it spark their imaginations and desire to learn more about Christian and the King he serves.
