Rendition In Favor Of Books Little Pilgrim's Progress: From John Bunyan's Classic
Fifty-five years ago, Helen L. Taylor took John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and simplified the vocabulary and concepts for young readers, while keeping the storyline intact. The result was a classic in itself, which has now sold over 600,000 copies. It's both a simple adventure story and a profound allegory of the Christian journey through life, a delightful read with a message kids ages 6 to 12 can understand and remember. A new look and fresh illustrations for today's children enlivens the journey to the Celestial City.Rating Regarding Books Little Pilgrim's Progress: From John Bunyan's Classic

Technically, we only finished the first half - Christian's story. We will get back to Christiana's story some day, but the boys wanted to be done for a while. I think this does a good job of making the story accessible to kids, and they really enjoyed it.Read through this as part of our morning devotions with my kids. We would read a chapter and they would take turns narrating it. We all greatly enjoyed it and it started many discussions and going to the bible to look up scripture.
A babysitter read this with me at night when I was about 12, and I have been looking for a copy ever since. This simple religous allegory is a story of overcoming life's obstacles through faith, perseverance, and fellowship. Great for anyone with a belief in good, even if not quite in God.
Absolutely wonderful to read with my 5 year old. Not simply a great story but an amazing way to have deep conversations about Heaven, the gospel, and our pilgrimage here on earth. This experience felt so memorable and sweet.
I am not a fan of rewritings or abridgments and I HAVE read the original Pilgrim's Progress several times but I still can't help enjoying this retelling. It is to Pilgrim's Progress what E. Nesbit's Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare is to Shakespeare's plays. As with the real Pilgrim's Progress, the first part is better but there are some wonderful highlights in the second half and we do come to love Mercy, Great Heart, and the boys in Part 2. It is the kind of writing that could quickly become
This was an excellent retelling of the classic story of Christian and his companions on their journey to the Celestial City. Christina's story is included as well. I read this with my 9 and 7 year old boys in preparation for next reading the original language of Bunyan. They always begged for more and are excited to read it again!
Cant believe its the first time Ive read this sweet book!! Loved all of it and cant wait to read it to my son.
