Now available together in a single volume, these two classics were written by seventeenth-century England's most famous prisoner of conscience, Baptist John Bunyan (1628-1688). Imprisoned for twelveyears for his preaching, he wrote first a dramatic allegory of Christian life and followed it with the compelling story of his own conversion. Both have been beloved by generations of spiritual seekers and still speakpowerfully to modern readers."

"Pilgrim's Progress recounts the perilous journey of Christian from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, and in itssecond part, follows the journey of his wife, Christiana." "Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners is Bunyan's fervent memoir of his own spiritual regeneration. Both works areenduring masterpieces of English prose, uniting the simple power of Biblical language with the vivid bluntness of untutored speech. "From the Trade Paperback edition."
