To go back is nothing but death; to go forward is fear of death, but beyond that lies everlasting life.  I will continue to go forward.

Christian in The Pilgrim's Progress

There is 21st century gold to be mined from Bunyan’s 17th Century classic.  We need to keep touch with timeless realities that have been transmitted to us by our forebears in Christ.  Cheryl Ford’s work is a devotional that I hope will find a place in the lives of multitudes.  

Jack Hayford, D.Litt. (well-known pastor, author and speaker)

 

Pilgrim's Progress Devotional: A Daily Journey through the Christian Life  

"Writing this book constituted a huge research project for me. Poring over musty Pilgrim's Progress books and commentaries, I dug up a wealth of hidden treasure from which you, too, can derive inspiration and instruction. This timeless allegory is packed with Christian truth that otherwise would be missed." --  Cheryl

 

Breaking Bunyan's timeless work into devotional segments, this book adds meditations, Scripture and prayers to reinvigorate quiet times and throw new light on a classic that has been a beacon to millions.

Not merely a book for our reading pleasure, this is a profoundly theological book for the instruction of Christian “pilgrims.”  Bunyan’s method is to hide many precious nuggets of biblical truth within his allegorical casing.  Expressly intending for us to dig out and find these truths, he challenges, “Ponder my metaphors.... What if my gold is wrapped up in ore?” This devotional, therefore, unwraps much of the ore for you.  Each day, you not only get a progressive reading of the story, but you receive a related inspirational meditation, applicable scriptures to ponder, and guided prayer. 

Suggestion:  This not only makes a great book for personal devotions but also a marvelous resource for family devotions, home schoolers, or anyone who would teach a class related to the story.

 

    Recommendations:

I recently picked up a copy of your Pilgrim's Progress Devotional and it is fantastic! Thank you for writing such a useful and thought provoking devotional. I have not read Bunyan's classic but am now excited to begin to read the book in its entirety because of your book. . .

Each year I challenge the congregation I serve to maintain a consistent devotional life. I recently encouraged them to use The Pilgrim's Progress Devotional by Cheryl  Ford for the coming year. Many copies were purchased by members and our spiritual lives grew as we internalized Cheryl's thoughts based on the Bunyan classic. Her insightful words, appropriate scriptures and penetrating prayers provided the spiritual "meat and milk" to enrich each day. My wife and I looked back on the year's journey through Pilgrim's Progress as a means of greater insight into the Christian LIfe. Without reservation, I recommend The Pilgrim's Progress Devotional. Simply and personally speaking, Joyce and I profited greatly from reading through it, and came away from it understanding Pilgrim's Progress better as well." - Pastor Gary Taylor

Interesting Facts: Did you know that each day over 200 million Christians in dozens of countries risk being beaten, raped, imprisoned, or killed for following Christ? John Bunyan was a persecuted Christian. He wrote his stunning masterpiece while imprisoned for preaching the gospel. His example has inspired me to dedicate 25% of this book's royalties to organizations that aid persecuted Christians around the world today.
