After the Bible, Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan is still one of the world's best sellers. The Holy War, his other allegorical work, portrayed the continuous conflict between man and the devil. The city of Mansoul is attacked by Diabolus using ruse, intrigue and force. The battle is long and bitter, but through the intervention of Prince Emmanuel victory is secured, in spite of the weaknesses and failings of the inhabitants of Mansoul. This modern English version succeeds in retaining the beauty of Bunyan's style, presenting scriptural truth and telling an exciting story which will be enjoyed by young and old. Thelma Jenkins began to rewrite 'The Holy War' simply as 'a whim'!The first chapters were read with enthusiasm by others who encouraged her to get it published and despite demands of a busy family life she found time to complete the work. She is widowed and has three children and two children and lives in Chislehurst, Kent. 'It is dais that the moderns find Bunyan difficult to read. Because of this, Mrs Thelma Jenkins, in her desire to introduce people to the riches of 'The Holy War' in particular, has undertaken this labour of love. Her desire is that as a result of reading it in this more modern idiom, many may be lead to read Bunyan himself directly, and thereby experience untold blessings and great enrichement of their spiritual lives. It is my pleasure to encourage this noble effort and my privilege to pray that God will bless it to that end.' D.M. Lloyd-Jones
