| | | What an awesome book. Read it a few times and listened to it on Mp3 also. My kid Joshua Caleb did his 5th grade book report on it. He got an A. I laminated it. |

It is a great work. I remember when I was in high school it was still on the required reading list along with Mere Christianity,the Screwtape Letters, and Robinson Crusoe. One would be hard pressed to find that on a reading list in public high schools today.

| | | I love that. I was reading it on the bus the other day and it gave opportunity to present the Gospel to an unknown person. |

| | | I have to admit that I have never read it in its entirety but I have heard a dramatized word for word audio version that was quite well done.

| | | I shall make myself very unpopular and say I didn't particularly like Pilgrim's Progress. Grace Abounding... was a great book though.

Oh wait...you meant you did not like the actual story.
Are you kidding me... 
note: perhaps I found pilgrims (Christians) progress was too slow because I find such "slowness" in myself.
