Not as good as part one in my opinion but still very good. It seems to me that part one was more raw and written because he had a story to tell, not really knowing if anyone would ever read or like it. This one seems more forced, riding on the tails of the first. That said, there is much deeper theology embedded in the allegory of part two and it gives great insight to the beliefs of this Puritan pastor. For example, the character Great-heart is a picture of a pastor throughout the book that gui...more
Good book. I love the story. This is the story about his wife. But this book is written in old English like the original Pilgrims Progress. Thought this was an updated version. Not as enjoyable for a child to read. Prefer "Dangerous Journey" version of Pilgrims Progress hands down.
What did I think? It was an excellent book, written in such a way that kids (6 and up)can relate to, enjoy, understand, and comprehend. It deals with life issues, religion and faith in an easy to understand way. I really loved this book. A lot!
I give the second part a nine out of ten. It might be the best book i've ever read. I liked the overall story, it was very spirtual and had more action in it than the first. This is one of the few books where I consciously lerned a lot of lessons. I also liked some of the characters in the book especially Mr. Great-heart Cristiana's guide. I liked the biblical concepts of the book and how it conveysa the Christian life as a journey. The pronblem I had with reading the book was the languge. I had...more
A little redundant and not as good as part 1 (the first pilgrim's progress). Very preachy, but who am I to complain since I new that preachy-ness was ahead of me when I picked up this book. ^_^ Overall, the first book was better because the experiences were all fresh and new. In this book, Christiana and her band of pilgrims were all going through the same trials as Christian did in the first book. So like I said earlier, a little redundant.

“Then said he, ’I am going to my Father’s; and though with great difficulty I am got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me that I have fought His battles who now will be my rewarder.’.... So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.”
