APRIL BOOKS OF THE MONTH

‘The Pilgrim’s Progress’ by John Bunyan, AND ‘Little Pilgrim’s Progress’ by Helen L. Taylor.

This month we have two books! This way experienced and younger readers can enjoy this month’s book.

The Pilgrim’s Progress is a vividly imagined allegory that follows the adventures of a young everyman named Christian as he undertakes the perilous journey from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City.

The Little Pilgrim’s Progress takes John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress and simplifies the vocabulary and concepts for young readers, while keeping the storyline intact.

We have physical copies available for purchase over in the church hall.
