John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress was first published in 1678. It has never been out of print and has been translated into more than 200 languages. The original title of the book was The Pilgrim's Progress from The World to That Which Is to Come and it was written while Bunyan was in the Bedfordshire County Jail. His crime was conducting religious services outside the auspices of the established Church of England.

J John's contemporary retelling is for a new generation of readers. Whether you are already a pilgrim or are considering the Christian journey, this story will inspire and instruct you through life's adventures and obstacles. It's not just the story of a man called Christian, it is also a mirror that reflects something in everyone's soul journey.

'In his characteristically engaging style, J John invites us to journey with Bunyan's pilgrim on a journey of discovery, overcoming obstacles internal and external, drawn by the love of God to the celestial city. In an age when many of us, for all kinds of reasons, have lost a sense of direction and purpose, here is a wake-up call. There may be new challenges round every corner, but life with God is a great adventure, and this raises the stakes on every choice we make. Read on, and like The Pilgrim, you will not be disappointed.' Archbishop John Sentamu
