The Pilgrim's Progress from This World, to That Which Is to Come is a Christian allegory written by John Bunyan in 1678 while in the Bedfordshire county prison for holding religious services outside the auspices of the established Church of England. It is regarded as one of the most significant works of religious, theological fiction in English literature. It has been translated into more than 200 languages and has never been out of print. It has also been cited as the first novel written in English. According to literary editor Robert McCrum, "There's no book in English, apart from the Bible, to equal Bunyan's masterpiece for the range of its readership, or its influence on writers as diverse as William Thackeray, Charlotte Bronte, Mark Twain, C.S. Lewis, John Steinbeck, and even Enid Blyton." More than three hundred years later, this Christian masterpiece continues to lift and inspire.This edition includes hundreds of helpful explanatory footnotes and has been newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.

Después de "El Progreso del Peregrino"; el libro "Gracia Abundante" representa la obra más importante del teólogo bautista puritano John Bunyan. La misma es una biografía teológica, de los eventos que tuvieron lugar antes, durante, y después de la conversión de Bunyan. El autor interpreta teológicamente varios eventos de su vida: seguridad de salvación, el sentirse amado y perdonado por Dios, así como su llamado al ministerio pastoral. La obra sigue un estilo similar al de "Confesiones" de Agustín de Hipona, o "La imitación de Cristo", de Thomas à Kempis. La importancia de esta obra no puede ser minimizada tanto en su importancia actual como histórica. Podemos señalar al menos cuatro razones de su importancia: En primer lugar, para aquellos que luchan con dificultades en la vida cristiana encontraran gran consuelo e identificación con las palabras de Bunyan. En segundo lugar, para aquellos que desean compartir el evangelio de manera eficaz, este libro da una detallada descripción de los eventos del Ordo Salutis (orden de la salvación), es casi como una radiografía de la salvación de una persona. En tercer lugar, es una lectura obligatoria para todo aquel que siente que es llamado al ministerio pastoral y aquellos que se encuentran preparándose como pastores, evangelistas y misioneros; y, en cuarto lugar, todo pastor o consejero hallara consejos de invaluable valor en las palabras de Bunyan. La edición que usted tiene en sus manos corresponde a la original en ingles, traducción sin abreviar. Además, contiene una introducción histórica y teológica, así como un ensayo biográfico sobre Bunyan, escrito por el erudito en estudios puritanos Geoffrey Thomas.

Neste livro, Bunyan narra a viagem de Cristão, um peregrino espiritualmente abatido que viaja rumo a Cidade Celestial.O Peregrino inicia com um poema no qual descreve os motivos para o livro e a razão de usar formas alegóricas (semelhante aos autos do teatro medieval) para contar a aventura do viajante que se encontra com personagens de carne e osso, mas que possuem nomes simbólicos que remetem ao evangelho de Jesus Cristo, como Evangelista, Adulação, Malicia, Apoliom e Vigilância. Um clássico cristão que ainda hoje tem um importante papel como guia sobre a perseverança em meio a dificuldades.

The Heavenly Footman¿A Description of the Man That Gets to Heaven is a historical religious studies/Christian education classic by John Bunyan. This great old book features this passage: "Friends, Solomon saith, that "the desire of the slothful killeth him;" and if so, what will slothfulness itself do to those that entertain it? The proverb is, "He that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame:" and this I dare be bold to say, no greater shame can befall a man, than to see that he hath fooled away his soul, and sinned away eternal life."
