Helen Taylor
HELEN L. TAYLOR, has carefully rewritten a centuries-old tale in order that children might be able to grasp the truths setý out by John Bunyan in 1678.ý JOHN BUNYAN, after years of dealing with his own inner struggles, gave his life to the Lord and spent the remainder ofý his life preaching and teaching truth without fear. Perhaps his greatest legacy is this work, The Pilgrim's Progress.ý
John Bunyan
John Bunyan (1628-1688) was born in Elstow, England, and his life was spared twice in his early years, something he believed God had done for a special purpose. In November 1660, when Bunyan arrived to preach in the little town of Lower Samsell, he was informed that a warrant had been issued for his arrest. Unwilling to denounce his Christian faith and his calling to the ministry, he was imprisoned for twelve years.
Among the many writings he published during his imprisonment are The Holy City; Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners; and the most famous, The Pilgrims Progress.
After his release, he became the pastor of a church in Bedord, England and continued to write and publish stirring works that have endured through time. Among these classics are The Holy War; Bunyan's Visions of Heaven and Hell and Journey to Hell: The Life and Death of Mr. Badman.
