About the author

John Bunyan, a Christian writer and preacher, was born at Harrowden (one mile south-east of Bedford), in the Parish of Elstow, England.

Reading....

"What you find suiting with the scriptures, take, though it should not suit with authors; but that which you find against the scriptures, slight, though it should be confirmed by multitudes of them. Yea, further, where you find the scriptures and your authors agree, yet believe it for the sake of scripture’s authority. I honor the godly as Christians, but I prefer the Bible before them; and having that still with me, I count myself far better furnished than if I had, without it, all the libraries of the two universities."

[Esteban · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting selection from several of Bunyan's books, including "Grace Abounding" and of course "The Pilgrim's Progress", with many other thoughts on subjects as diverse as the Trinity, Scripture, drunkenness, pride, heaven and hell and even the Antichrist.
This edition uses Americanised spelling and there are a few minor scanning errors but nothing that makes the book unreadable.

I read bits of this book, but I don't think I read most of it yet. I should though, some time.
