The Pilgrim's Progress: Legacy Edition

Many beautiful versions of John Bunyan's work have been produced over the past three centuries. Often these versions included wood-cut illustrations from some of the finest artists of the day, and yet many of those versions are out of print and few heirloom quality editions exist today. Our desire was to honor the rich legacy of illustrations of The Pilgrim's Progress with this new edition.

Some of the special features of the Legacy Edition include:

• Unabridged text with carefully updated language
• 150+ vintage illustrations
• Heirloom quality cloth cover, gilded edges, and ribbon page marker
• Full ESV Bible references in margins
• Large Print
• Frameable 6.5x8.5" Pilgrim's Journey Matte Cardstock Map

Our hope is that, as this story has impacted generations of Christians, this edition will continue the legacy of this book for many generations to come.

"I first read The Pilgrim’s Progress as a teenager. I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve read it since. All these years later, this spiritual allegory still resonates deep within, as I track Christian’s engagement with foes, friends, fools, and failures, on his journey to the Celestial City. With Christian, I have learned to trust alone in the sole sufficiency of Christ’s atoning work, to delight in the surpassing worth of Christ’s excellence, to know the heart-changing effect of God’s gift of faith in Christ, to resist the constant temptations and allurements to depart from the narrow way, to watch for doubt and despair, to cultivate prayerful dependance on God’s Word, to practice regular repentance from sin, to value fellowship with God’s people, and to remain focused on the glory yet to be revealed. It goes without saying, therefore, that I am thrilled to see this beautiful Legacy Edition produced by Lithos Kids. My prayer is that it will introduce a new generation of believers to this timeless treasure."

"One of the most printed and popular books in the English language, John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress is available in a multitude of editions. But I venture to say that there are none currently like this with its sidebar references to Holy Scripture and inclusion of the splendid illustrations that adorned a major Victorian edition of this enormously influential work. A valuable, and hopefully valued, possession for every family."
