Description
Faith Cook has been a lover of John Bunyan’s work for many
years, first encountering him through The Pilgrim’s Progress in
preschool years. Later she discovered through his ‘Complete
Works’ his many other books and ten years ago she wrote
Fearless Pilgrim, a detailed biography of Bunyan. Now she has
taken up her pen again to write this well-paced and accessible
biography that will appeal to every reader. Inevitably it is
more than just a biography: this is a story told so that the
Lord Jesus Christ is glorified and the reader can find
encouragement for their own pilgrim path. Bunyan suffered in
many ways and his own words express best the message this
book brings:
(God) can make those things that in themselves
are most fearful and terrible to behold, the most
pleasant, delightful and desirable things. He can
make a gaol more beautiful than a palace… He can
so sweeten our sufferings with the honey of his
word… and make them so easy by the spreading
of his feathers over us that we shall not be able to
say that in all the world a more comfortable
position can be found.
