John Bunyan

Written by the author of The Pilgrims Progress, this allegory tells the story of the town "Mansoul" (Mans soul). Though this town is perfect and bears the image of Shaddai (Almighty), it is deceived to rebel and throw off his gracious rule, replacing it instead with the rule of Diabolus. Though Mansoul has rejected the Kingship of Shaddai, he sends his son Emmanuel to reclaim it.This premium edition includes a memoir on John Bunyan.

"I will pray for thee; I will fight for thee; I will yet do thee good.Nothing can hurt thee but sin; nothing can grieve me but sin; nothing can make thee base before thy foes but sin: take heed of sin, my Mansoul."Written in the form of an allegory, this book illustrates the war that we daily wage against Satan and our inner fight against evil. The attack on Mansoul by the devil appears indeed as an illustration of the battle over the human soul and salvation. The entire story is a masterpiece of Christian literature.This Premium edition comes with :. A beautiful and Easy to Read Layout to make reading confortable. A Memoir on John Bunyan, by Rev. G. Cheever

Kristityn vaelluksen kirjoittaja, saarnamies John Bunyan kuvaa Raamatussa mainittua elaman vetta kauniisti ja osuvasti. Elaman vesi kumpuaa Jumalan ja Karitsan istuimelta kristallinkirkkaana lahteena ja laajenee kuohuvaksi armon virraksi, joka puhdistaa ja virvoittaa, paatyen lopulta armon mereen.Bunyan aivan kuin huutaa lukijoilleen: Pois pelko ja epailys! Armon virrasta riittaa suurimmallekin syntiselle! Mutta Bunyan myos varoittaa muunlaisista vesista, joita kaupitellaan kalliilla hinnalla, vaikka ne eivat puhdista eivatka tuo ikuista elamaa.Kirjassa kaikuu armon sanoma puhtaana ja kirkkaana.Lopussa on runo Vankilatunnelmia. Bunyan kertoo oloistaan vankilassa ja miten han sinne joutui kesken saarnamatkansa. Sellin hamarassa han saa usein kohdata Herran ja tuntea taivaallista lohdutusta.

Visions Of Heaven And Hell is a message of meditation based on the Bible and written by John Bunyan (November 30, 1628 August 31, 1688) was an English writer and Puritan preacher best remembered as the author of the Christian allegory The Pilgrims Progress. In addition to The Pilgrims Progress, Bunyan wrote nearly sixty titles, many of them expanded sermons.Bunyan came from the village of Elstow, near Bedford. He had some schooling and at the age of sixteen joined the Parliamentary Army during the first stage of the English Civil War. After three years in the army he returned to Elstow and took up the trade of tinker, which he had learned from his father. He became interested in religion after his marriage, attending first the parish church and then joining the Bedford Meeting, a nonconformist group in Bedford, and becoming a preacher. After the restoration of the monarch, when the freedom of nonconformists was curtailed, Bunyan was arrested and spent the next twelve years in jail as he refused to give up preaching. During this time he wrote a spiritual autobiography, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, and began work on his most famous book, The Pilgrims Progress, which was not published until some years after his release.Bunyans later years, in spite of another shorter term of imprisonment, were spent in relative comfort as a popular author and preacher, and pastor of the Bedford Meeting. He died aged 59 after falling ill on a journey to London and is buried in Bunhill Fields. The Pilgrims Progress became one of the most published books in the English language; 1,300 editions having been printed by 1938, 250 years after the authors death.He is remembered in the Church of England with a Lesser Festival on 30 August, and on the liturgical calendar of the United States Episcopal Church on 29 August. Some other churches of the Anglican Communion, such as the Anglican Church of Australia, honour him on the day of his death (31 August).

This is the illustrated edition including an extensive and rare biographical essay on the life and works of John Bunyan.The Pilgrims Progress was published in February 1678. The irresistible charm of this book which gratified the imagination of the reader with all the action and scenery of a fairy tale, which exercised his ingenuity by setting him to discover a multitude of curious analogies, which interested his feelings for human beings, frail like himself, and struggling with temptations from within and from without, which every moment drew a smile from him by some stroke of quaint yet simple pleasantry, and nevertheless left on his mind a sentiment of reverence for God and of sympathy for man is still in effect today.
