Many adults have felt daunted by the old language used in Bunyan’s Pilgrims Progress<\/em>, so kids would have even more trouble reading it. Helen L. Taylor sought to help with that by writing Little Pilgrim’s Progress<\/em>. Using the same story, it is written in words that children can understand.<\/p>\n

Readers follow little Christian as he learns that his city will be destroyed, but that the King wants people to come to Him. Christian faces danger and doubt as he becomes a pilgrim and journeys to the Celestial City.<\/p>\n

Along the way, he meets people who are traveling the same way, and people who try to turn him back. You also learn that he wishes for family and friends to follow after him. Once he reaches the Celestial City, the book switches to Christiana and her family as she follows the same path as Christian.<\/p>\n

Taylor did an excellent job of telling the classic story in a way that is easily understood. I have tried to read the original, but had a lot of trouble with the archaic language. This was simple to read. Though targeted at 8-12 year olds, older people can enjoy, too. Parents might have to help kids understand some of the allegories in it, but that only opens the door to talk with kids about Christ.<\/p>\n

You can see the gospel message clearly in Little Pilgrim’s Progress<\/em>, and I think it is an excellent addition to a family’s library.<\/p>\n
