This book was a gift and if weren't for that I may have never heard of it let alone read it. It is a welcome addition to my library.
A great follow up to the Pilgrim's progress. The historical and biographical sections were excellent. I think all to often when we read of the great men and women of the faith, we often overlook the historical and cultural settings of the day. The author gives and excellent summation of the times, including prison life. The author dealt with the many struggles Bunyan had which goes a long way in explaining the motivation behind his greatest work - Pilgrim's Progress.
The remainder of the book goes over the journey of Pilgrim giving details and background to some of the places and people that Pilgrim met along the way.
The book was just over 220 pages and would certainly make a great addition to anyone's library.
