Pilgrim's Progress Part One


Book Description

This is a view from heaven onto the world where the artist was born and grew up. His country was a very beautiful land with green forests, crystal clear rivers, and colorful inhabitants. However, the beautiful atmosphere was spoiled by internal conflicts among the ruling government and minority armed groups who sought better autonomy rights and freedoms. The artist’s cousin was beheaded by a rebel group. A neighbor who obeyed the government was arrested by armed men and was forced to carry his bicycle on his back through the mountains for several days. When he reached their jungle stronghold, he was tortured for nearly two months. A Lisu man was tied up in a rice-sack and hung up upside down in a tree somewhere in the jade-land by soldiers, and they watered him until he suffocated and died. A soldier opened fire at a village meeting and killed several Lisu men in Manhkring village. Scars given by them are uncountable, and every scar has a sad story to tell. This illustration depicts a scene of segregation, sufferings, persecutions, torture, and death in a land where Satan’s dominant is real. The armies who are now enjoying a time of greed do not know that the judgment is approaching, that God has his axe ready.

Pilgrim's Progress (Parts 1 & 2)


Book Description

Bonus - Includes Part II Often disguised as something that would help him, evil accompanies Christian on his journey to the Celestial City. As you walk with him, you’ll begin to identify today’s many religious pitfalls. These are presented by men such as Pliable, who turns back at the Slough of Despond; and Ignorance, who believes he’s a true follower of Christ when he’s really only trusting in himself. Each character represented in this allegory is intentionally and profoundly accurate in its depiction of what we see all around us, and unfortunately, what we too often see in ourselves. But while Christian is injured and nearly killed, he eventually prevails to the end. So can you. The best part of this book is the Bible verses added to the text. The original Pilgrim’s Progress listed the Bible verse references, but the verses themselves are so impactful when tied to the scenes in this allegory, that they are now included within the text of this book. The text is tweaked just enough to make it readable today, for the young and the old. Youngsters in particular will be drawn to the original illustrations included in this wonderful classic.

The Pilgrim's Progress


Book Description

Once the most deeply cherished book in English-speaking households other than Bible itself, John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress is the allegorical tale of Christian the pilgrim on his journey to the Celestial City. Along the way, Christian encounters both worthy companions and dreadful adversaries. Although this book was written more than three hundred years ago, this stirring spiritual narrative still bears the power to challenge and encourage readers on their own spiritual journeys.




Protestantism Crossing the Seas


Book Description

The collection of English books printed before 1801 in the University Library of the Vrije Universiteit at Amsterdam is one of the largest collections of such books outside the English-speaking world, and by far the largest in the Netherlands. The collection numbers 5,600 titles and covers all subjects, but is especially concentrated on (reformed) protestantism in Great Britain, the Netherlands and America, and the exchange of ideas between these countries. The collection of which the existence is practically unknown, contains many rare items from the 16th to the 18th century. It covers the periods of the well-known and widely used bibliographies of English printed books (STC, Wing, and ESTC); in a large number of cases the catalogue entries correct or supplement these bibliographies. The catalogue is aimed both at a general public of bibliographers, literary and book- historians working with books from the STC, Wing and ESTC periods, and at researchers in the Netherlands, Great Britain and elsewhere specialised in church history and the manifold historical and cultural relations between the British Isles and the Low Countries.
