John Bunyan was a simple maker and mender of pots and kettles who received very little education. In spite of that, he penned the most successful allegory ever written. He lost his first wife and was imprisoned for twelve years for his compelling—but unlicensed—preaching. Nevertheless, his preaching about the gravity of sin, salvation by grace, the cost of discipleship, perseverance, and the glory of eternal life lives on in the signs and symbols of The Pilgrim’s Progress. Embark on a perilous journey with Christian, the lead character, from the City of Destruction to the luminous safe haven of the Celestial City. The journey will encourage you to “set your hope fully on the grace to be given you” amidst the obstacles of life.

- So full of the Bible
-
So much of the word of righteousness in the Bible is lived out by the characters in this book. I enjoyed the 2nd part on Christiana's journey even more than the 1st part of Christian's journey.
Overall - A great book for your Christian walk
-
I had heard that in the past every Christian was encouraged to have a good church, a good bible and a good copy of the Pilgrims Progress. I was intrigued by the idea that so many Christians have read this book and were so influenced by it. So I wanted to read it for myself.
It is a very deep book that you could read through quickly or take the time to read and reflect in depth. I was surprised by the relevance of the situations and places. For example, I felt that the town of "Vanity Fair" could have been my own town. I loved the book, I especially appreciated having it in audio form. It was a great read and very influential to my Christian life.
I am planning on going through the book a second time with a friend to discuss the deeper aspects and am really looking forward to it.Overall - Classic!
-
There is a reason that this is only second to the Bible in readership.

- Excellent Biblical truths in story form. Good reading
-
Excellent to listen to when driving or relaxing as a storybook, yet rich enough to focus and contemplate on the rich truths of Scripture. Bunyan wrote with deep Biblical theology woven into simple pictures and characters. It seems to be written to warn people to beware of false religion and to show the beauty of true salvation.
Overall - Well read and arranged.
-
This is the best piece of Christian allegory ever written. Thank you Christian Audio for a chance at it. I would advise improvement in terms of including dramatization and sound effects in the narration though to make it come more alive.

Overall - Beautiful voice and a fantastic book

This audiobook is a beautifully-read rendition of a Christian classic. I think I will always have this narrator's voice in my head when I read Pilgrim's Progress in the future.
Overall - Great!

A wonderful rendition of a great book.

This is an excellent recording of an excellent book. Nadia May could read the Oxford English Dictionary and still make it sound interesting! Pilgrim's Progress is a great gem of a book, and there's a reason it's a classic loved by generations of Christians. I read this as a teenager and liked it then, but can appreciate and understand it much better as an adult! Give this one a listen or two.

This is a wonderful recording of an enduring classic. Ms. May's voice is very similar to that of Lauren Bacall--in fact, as a movie buff, at first I thought that's who it was! Her reading is masterly and captivating. She is completely at home with the rhythms of Elisabethan English.
For those who enjoyed Ms May's reading of the Pilgrim's Progress, I can recommend her recording of Pride and Prejudice as well.
By far the best recording of Pilgrim's Progress I've ever heard.Overall - I'm sure there's a special category...

I'm sure there's a special category of transgression for this - but at 39 I'm only reading/listening to this for the first time. I downloaded it because, well, because it was free, and I was interested out of curiosity.
I was a little apprehensive about the archaic English. I need not have been. I'm finding this classic personally convicting, not least of all because of the fantastic narration by Nadia May. I've not heard her before, but she's versatile and engaging, bringing this old English book to life. I thoroughly recommend this edition.Overall
