Thanks for the info on Bunyan’s other books and insight on the spelling issue :)

I thought I would mention, in case you did not already know, that John Bunyan was a prolific writer. Another book by him you might enjoy is "Holy War" which is also an alegory. Another which is Bunyan's story of his own salvation experience is also quite amazing. It is called "Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners". I read it once when I was newly saved and it didn't quite get it, but read it again after going through some serious testing of my faith and found it quite wonderful. As to the spelling, if I am not mistaken, Bunyan's writing may have taken place before there was any standardization of spelling. In other words, any way a person chose to spell a word was acceptable (you may think I have adopted that system myself:) In any case, I have enjoyed your blog so far and will continue to read. May God bless you! Hi Alex, I just stumbled upon your blog and the post about Pilgrims Progress caught my eye.

Thanks for the encouragement.. Hey Terry,

I have now read it at least once a year and have always found something new that I did not notice before. I have used a quote from Christiana at the top of my blog title. One thing I would caution you against is that Christiana did not want to be with her husband so much as she wanted what he had--Jesus Christ. Being with Christian was more a byproduct of being where Christ is. I hope you do read it again next year! God bless. I had the same reaction to reading The Pilgrim’s Progress the first time.
