The Pilgrim's Progress: A Devotional Guide (Chinese) - 天路歷程靈修指南 [paperback] Luke P.Y. Lu [Jan 01, 2022]

"The Pilgrim's Progress"" by John Bunyan, a significant work in the English language, has had a profound impact on the spiritual life of believers worldwide. Since the 19th century, the Chinese translation has been well-received among Chinese readers. However, when readers regard this book as only an engaging parable narrative, they miss an understanding of the depth of true salvation and other essential spiritual they miss the author's original intention of writing and fail to achieve the purpose of spiritual repentance and reformation. This author sensed deeply the need to study the spiritual truths found in "The Pilgrim's Progress", and compiled the "Spiritual Guide to The Pilgrim's Progress" to help brothers and sisters understand this classic in-depth. Taking account the author's Puritan theological and historical background, this guide explains the truth of salvation expressed by John Bunyan; additional relevant Bible verses are added to help readers seriously examine their own spiritual situation and by the grace of the Lord, bear the fruit in keeping with repentance. This book starts with an introduction that explains the historical background of "The Pilgrim's Progress", the life of John Bunyan and the purpose of his writing along with its significance to us today. The content is divided into twelve thematic lessons that use a question-and-answer method to introduce the key content. This step-by-step guide based on the original English edition (published in A.D. 1678) explains the precious truths expressed in "The Pilgrim's Progress" and points out the need for self-examination, repentance, and reformation among today's believers.
