About this listen

John Bunyan (1628-1688) was an English author and Puritan preacher. Best known for his famous allegorical works, Pilgrim’s Progress and The Holy War, Bunyan published 42 works in his lifetime, while another 16 were published posthumously. This collection includes his spiritual autobiography Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, the allegorical novel The Life and Death of Mr. Badman, and sermons such as "Justification by an Imputed Righteousness".

Bunyan’s gripping take on prophecy and religious history comes to the fore in the essay "Of Antichrist and His Ruin", while his 1682 novel, The Holy War, tells the story of the town "Mansoul" (Man's soul). Bunyans’ classic Pilgrim’s Progress is probably the most famous Christian allegory. The work has been cited as the first ever novel written in English, has been translated into more than 200 languages and has never been out of print.

Great Stories - Okay Collection

I love John Bunyan's writing and it was a joy to listen to The Holy War. The Pilgrims Progress and The Holy War are delivered fully and completely. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to these two classics. Unfortunately, when I reached 'Grace Abounding To The Chief Of Sinners', I was enjoying the audio until it jumped 20 parts into the story (~30minutes). I was confused and then it jumped again! Almost half the book is missing! This is very disappointing as this is supposed to be a collection not a taster for John Bunyan's writing.
If you just want some of John Bunyan's writing and the whole of The Pilgrims Progress and The Holy War then this is a great title. Unfortunately, it seems that his less popular writings have been cut and shortened.
