Pictures From Pilgrim’s Progress

This is an absolute gem of a book and the welcome re-appearance of a classic.  It is doubtful if there has ever been anyone more able and qualified to write what is, in effect, a commentary of Bunyan’s masterpiece than Spurgeon, who once said, ‘Next to the Bible, the book I value most is John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress. I believe I have read it through at least a hundred times.’

As I read this book, I kept having to remind myself that I am not reading an exposition of Scripture but of Pilgrim’s Progress, so close is the style to an expository sermon, with Spurgeon drawing out lessons from Bunyan’s writing as he would do with Scripture itself.
