The Pilgrim's Progress Audiobook

" I was disappointed, considering this is a classic. It was much too literal for me. I never was invested in the characters and wasn't wanting to read more to find out what happened to them. I prefer to see religious truths played out in the form of a life story vs. a conversation btw 'Christian' and others as he walks (on his 'journey of faith'). Stories, to me, are more powerful. The life of the author is extra-ordinary and the book is saturated in scripture. "

" So, I could take the time to write a review for this and discuss some of the philosophical/religious aspects of it, but to be honest, I just don't want to. I've been working on this book since February and I'm a little tired about being told I am going to hell. The one thing I will point out: How come it seemed that Atheist was the happiest character? "

" I liked this book. I liked the imagery and the metaphors. I listened to it on audiobook and would like to someday read in print as I think in listening to it some of the best parts didn't sink in. A little hard to follow when listening, especially since the narrators voice was so soothing and often lulled me to sleep. "

" I read this book a couple times for different English classes. I think it is neat, and deserves some kudos. However, I would never think to myself, "I'm in the mood to read some Pilgrim's Progress." So basically, don't read this book unless you have to write a paper on it or share a 15 minute spiritual insight with your Senior Writing Seminar class. Plegh. "

" I never got to finish this one, but I walked away with many thought provoking and faith-filled stanzas "

" I very much enjoyed this book. There is all sorts of application even now for the Christian striving to live for the glory of the one who called him. I look forward to reading it again. "

" While it took me awhile to get through it. But it is full of scripture and great story we can all relate to in our spiritual journey. "

" I've wanted to read Pilgrim's Progress for years, but the task always seemed daunting. This "revised" version by Gary Schmidt was written for 5th through 8th graders, so I gave it a try! I'm so glad I did!!! This is a book I will definitely read over and over again. "

" Such a good perspective on the spiritual journey of life. I have a children's version (A Dangerous Journey) that I read to my 3yr. old son, who's favorite chapter is "The Valley of The Shadow of Death". "

" I rather enjoyed this. It was a much simpler read than I was anticipating, and it is quite encouraging. He's got some great insights into the Christian life, and it's no wonder this is a "classic among classics" as they say. "

" The one and only. Tough to read, but worth the journey. "

" This book is unabriged-but what makes it better than the origanal is that someone made some really cool realistic drawing.s "

" Bunyan breathes out Biblical truths for the lost man and the growing Christian. A must read for every living man. "

" I never, ever, ever want to read this book again. It apparently really spoke to my mom because not only did she read it to us, she made us read it too many times to count. And I didn't really enjoy it the first time. "

" Perhaps I should not rate this. I never got too far into it as I was so quickly turned off by what to my modern ways seemed to be sleep inducing. "

" I had to read this in college. Don't remember a thing about it. So, does it still count? "

" This is my all time favorite book. It taught me that even though there can be countless struggles down the right path you can still be victorious at the end. "

" A Complete Waste of Time "

" Must read for any christian. "

" Like Don Quixote, I've read an enjoyed Part 1. Now I have to get off my ass and read Part II. Helen thinks I'm deranged, but this book -- a Penguin Classic -- has the nicest book smell I've ever come across. "

" Magnificent Christian literature. Very brilliant and convicting. Looking forward to every single page. "

" Although it is a somewhat complicated book because it was written in the old English and a long time ago it contains truths of all the daily trials and tribulations a Christian faces in his/her walk towards reaching Heaven. "

" 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? <br/> <br/> "

" 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.<br/>I'll never have to read it again. whew. "

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