The pilgrim's progress

This 350-year-old story tells about the adventures that a devout Christian might meet in trying to save the soul by setting out on a pilgrimage to heaven. The central character encounters such temptations in meeting Mr. Talkative, Lord Hate-good, Miss Much-afraid, and others. A sermon giver and writer, Bunyan can keep the attention of most any reader and address theological issues with great simplicity.
