Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners [with Biographical Introduction]

by John Bunyan

Temptations, when we meet them at first, are as the Lion that roared upon Samson; but if we overcome them, the next time we see them, we shall find a Nest of Honey within them. The Philistines understand me not. It is something of a Relation of the Work of God upon my own Soul, even from the very first, till now, wherein you may perceive my Castings down, and risings up: for he woundeth, and his Hands make whole.
