Pilgrim's Progress (Abridged): Retold for Youth Audiobook

" Not being religious, I heartily pat myself on the back for getting through this...couldn't have done it without my religious friend reading it at the same time, cheering me on... "

" Written in old language, but understandable story of the character Christian's earthly journey to the Celestial City. I vividly remember him carrying this big burden on his back, which came to my mind throughout a later backpacking trip! "

" This book truly helped open my eyes to the spiritual realm. I could see the obstacles in my own life. "

" What all of the Christians in the world need to read and DO IT! "

" First, this is spiritually inspired account of the Christian walk and salvation. Second, it is difficult to read becaus eof the olde English. Third, one must have a knowledge of Christianity to appreciate this. Finally, it is an excellent work of fictin/non-fiction. "

" found it on top of a garbage bin around 16th/Mission one day... "

" Best fiction (but so true to the Christian life) story I have ever read. "

" A classic in every sense although a product of the systemic condescending patriarchalism of the era in which it was written. Still, a must read for all serious pilgrims to the Celestial City. "

" Excellent, my daughter read this book in the sixth grade, her faith and love of Jesus Christ strengthened. Recently bought the DVD to share with my grandchildren. "

" A very encouraging book that helps us re-focus on our pilgrim journey here on earth "

" Other than it being written in Old English, this book was great. It shows what our lives as Christians can look like and the trials and temptations that come our way. If you haven't read it, the book is free on Kindle. Well worth it. "

" This book is killing me! I'm determined to finish it, but I've been slowly making my way through it. "

" Another excellent book by John Bunyan. "

" Part I is rather more engaging than Part II. "

" I was disappointed with this book. I thought that the concept was GREAT but I didn't like actual execution of it. It was a difficult and boring book. I even read a more contemporary version and I still found it very hard to read. I wouldn't recommend this book. "

" Wish I would have read this book years ago. Fast, wonderful read. Compare to Lehi's vision of the tree of life. "

" Christian allegory that was required reading up to the start of the last century in England. Surprisingly still readable and how can you not enjoy a book which introduces us to the Slough of Despond? "

" I read this to my kids years ago but it bored us all and we never finished it. "

" Straightforward Christian (Protestant) allegory. It's well-written, although contrary to Catholic teachings to which I adhere. "

" If I were a character in this book, what would MY name be? "

" I read an abridged version and that was even too much for me....read it in my high school freshman Bible class and we dissected this book for a year. Needless to say, it was not my favorite class. "

" Read it when i was a kid. Torture. "

" Amazing book. I have the Signet Classics edition - pocket size, which I like. Just finished with my British Lit. class for the first time. Also read Winter, 2008. "

" Boy, normally I'm all over the classics. But this one just didn't do much for me. Some books are a metaphor on top of a story. This one was just the metaphor. "

" It was often laborious -- lots of symbolism "

" Love this book. Such illustrations and names to personify Christian characters. I reread this frequently. "

" A must-read! Have read this many times. "

" One of my very favorite books. I discovered it when I was about 13 and reading Little Women. (I later played Jo in a high school production). I immediately went to our old creaky library and checked it out. I liked it so well that I gave a book report on it and made a map of Christian's journey. "

" I have started this many times since starting and not finishing it in the sixties. Thanks to Kindle - I finally completed it. I don't know why but it seemed much more doable in Kindle. I really think the type face may have had much to do with success.I'll never have to read it again. whew. "

" Surprisingly one of the best devotional literature pieces ever. "
