Product Description Regarded as one of the most significant works of English literature, John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress has encouraged, challenged, and fascinated Christians and non-Christians, young and old, for more than three centuries. Retaining the dignity and beauty of Bunyan’s original language, editor C. J. Lovik has updated key words and phrases, making the book more accessible to modern readers. Brought to life with 30 original, full-page, color illustrations by award-winning illustrator Mike Wimmer, this edition will help readers understand the joys and struggles of the life of faith on earth through the journey of Christian as he encounters Evangelist, Ignorance, Mr. Worldly Wisdom, and others on his way to the Celestial City. Review “This classic has refreshed my spirit time and again when my soul has longed for Christ-centered guidance through a maze of modern detours and diversions. I’m so grateful this special edition of The Pilgrim’s Progress is now available not only to a new generation of Christians but also to believers like myself who need direction and refreshment along our journey toward Home.”―Joni Eareckson Tada, Founder, Joni and Friends International Disability Center “If any smoothing of Bunyan’s seventeenth-century language plus new colored pictures can set The Pilgrim’s Progress aglow in the hearts of today’s young readers, this lovely book will surely do it.”―J. I. Packer, Late Board of Governors' Professor of Theology, Regent College “Every generation is heir to John Bunyan’s timeless allegory, and to each generation falls the task of commending this tale anew. The collaboration of editor C. J. Lovik and illustrator Mike Wimmer has yielded a book that could well be a classic for our time. With great care, Lovik has combined the best elements of Bunyan’s rich, evocative prose with accessibility for the modern reader. And in Wimmer, Bunyan has met his illustrator for the twenty-first century. The thirty illustrations that grace this edition are a world in themselves-the equal of any that appear in J.R.R. Tolkien’s books.”―Kevin Belmonte, author, John Bunyan “If you are looking for a classic edition of The Pilgrim’s Progress, with a simplified form of Bunyan’s original text, traditional color illustrations, and explanatory notes, this is undoubtedly the version for you.”―Tim Dowley, author, The Christians “For two centuries following its publication (Part 1 in 1678, Part 2 in 1684), The Pilgrim’s Progress gained the status of best-read book (apart from the Bible). This magnificent production by Crossway with stunning illustrations by Mike Wimmer should help reinstate Bunyan’s classic allegory to the status it belongs. It should be a question we ask ourselves: Have I read The Pilgrim’s Progress? If not, repent immediately, for in taking up this volume you will find pastoral insights from a pastor of souls to help you discover the biblical way of salvation and aid you in the journey home.”―Derek W. H. Thomas, Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, South Carolina; Teaching Fellow, Ligonier Ministries; Chancellor’s Professor, Reformed Theological Seminary “C. J. Lovik’s new edition of The Pilgrim’s Progress almost takes one’s breath away. The text is readable, the notes are clear, and the illustrations are absolutely beautiful. This is a book to be in everyone’s library and will definitely occupy a prominent place in the libraries provided for Rafiki's children and adults in Africa. It is a joy to know that Lovik’s edition of the Bunyan classic will be read by and to thousands of children throughout the world.”―Rosemary Jensen, Founder and President, Rafiki Foundation; author of Praying the Attributes of God and Living the Words of Jesus “This is one of the best books I’ve ever read.”―Mark Dever, Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC “The Pilgrim’s Progress has long been a favorite of many. Now there is even more to love with this beautiful, updated edition. Edi
