Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress: In Words of One Syllable

"Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress: In Words of One Syllable" by Samuel Phillips Day is a reworked religious story from the late 1800s. It tells of Christian's trip as he looks for a way to be saved and know more about his beliefs while facing tests and things that tempt him. The book looks at being at war within your mind through religion, good and bad choices, and trying to earn a prize that will last for good. It starts when Christian feels weighed down by his sins and sadness. He has a dream of a person, meant to be him, sad about his bad place and ready to run from his home town. To find peace, Christian runs into Evangelist, who tells him to go to the Wicket-Gate, which stands for hope. The story shows how strong Christian is as he runs from what’s to come, even when his loved ones beg him to come back. This gets things ready for his hard trip as he sees things that make it hard for him to stay strong and believe.
