PILGRIM'S PROGRESS

My Pilgrim's Progress materials are all now at Facebook.com,
where you can download them in PDF, EPUB, or Kindle formats.

Here's the books :

PILGRIM'S PROGRESS: Annotated
annotated by Bruce T. Forbes, 2010 ... An 1853 edition with notes and annotations. I've tried to read "modern
language" versions of this book and I don't like them - I'd rather bring my language up to this book's level than to
dummy the book down to today's language. Notes are taken from various annotated versions, and I spent a lot of
quality time with the Oxford Dictionary. If you're looking for a hard copy, I recommend the
Barnes & Noble
Classics edition because of all the reader's helps - it's the only hard copy I own.

And, here's a
MAP of the pilgrimage route.

Although it is a very good movie, it leaves a lot out. It puts emphasis more on Faith and Grace and not so much on
Works (actions) while Bunyan stressed all three pretty equally. Despite that deficiency it's a good movie and I
recommend it

PILGRIM'S PROGRESS: People & Place Concordance
by Bruce T. Forbes, 2010 ... I've never found one, so I made one. I will continue to upgrade and correct it as I
continue to reread the book.

PILGRIM'S PROGRESS: Latter-day Sequels
by Bruce T. Forbes, 1994 - 2011 ... One book and several short stories inspired by Bunyan's classic volume.
The book is the story of four of Christian and Christiana's grandsons on their pilgrimage, looking through the field
glasses of the Latter-day Saint branch of Christianity. Those who believe Latter-day Saints are heretics and
Satan-worshipers should read this with an open heart and allow yourself to be amazed at how much Christianity
you're going to find. Also includes short stories about various attractions at Vanity Fair:
Theme Park: Pryde Park
Sports Center: Wide Realm of Sports
Exhibition Hall: Glories of the Natural Man
Eternal Homes Preview Pavilion
Also includes an INDEX & CONCORDANCE for all the works in this volume as well as hymn texts from the
Latter-day Saint hymnal on Pilgrimage themes.





SEE ALSO:

A PLAIN MAN'S PATHWAY to HEAVEN
by Arthur Dent, 1601 ... said to be one of the books that helped convert Bunyan to Christ and one of his
inspirations in writing Pilgrim's Progress.

LIFE and DEATH of Mr. BADMAN
John Bunyan, 1680 ... This link takes you a site where you can download this book in various formats. As
allegorical as the first two, this is a lengthy conversation about how Mr. Badman became a bad man and how he fell.

The HOLY WAR
by John Bunyan, 1682 ... This link takes you a site where you can download this book in various formats. Every bit
as incredible as PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, this is the story of Evil's battle for the town of Mansoul (Man's Soul).
Although told as if it's a real, physical battle, the reader must realize Bunyan is actually writing about the
spiritual
battle that takes place in a man or woman's mind and heart and soul. I just wish it hadn't taken me fifty years to
discover this book!

The TRAVELS of TRUE GODLINESS
by Benjamin Keach, 1682 ... As allegorical and as well-written as Bunyan, this is the story of a being named True
Godliness (God-like-ness) and his attempt to find someone to take him in to their home and all the reasons why we
mortals claim we want to take him in and yet why we won't.

The CELESTIAL RAILROAD
by Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1843 ... a perfect sequel to Pilgrim's Progress that you can hand to a friend who thinks all
they have to do is say "I believe" and they are saved without further effort on their own part. It's also an excellent
essay on the evils of political correctness.
