The Pilgrim's Progress

The Pilgrim's Progress is a book written in the mid 1600s by John Bunyan. Bunyan began the work while in jail for violations of the Conventicle Act, which prohibited the holding of religious services outside the auspices of the established Church of England. In this book, an everyday man, Christian, takes a journey from his town, the "City of Destruction", to the "Celestial City." Christian is faced with much opposition as he travels the straight and narrow path to heaven. On his journey, he meets several people who are trying to do different things to get to the Celestial City besides confessing Christ as savior. Christian is also faced with many temptations that have the potential to take him off the straight & narrow path.

Last night, I watched the movie, "The Pilgrim's Progress: Journey to Heaven." It was very entertaining, but thought-provoking. I highly recommend it! The one I watched was produced in 2008. While in Africa, we showed the one produced in 1978. I'm thankful they made a new one!
