A lifelong pursuit of knowing God should embody the Christian's existence. According to eminent theologian J.I. Packer, however, Christians have become enchanted by modern skepticism and have joined the "gigantic conspiracy of misdirection" by failing to put first things first. Knowing God aims to redirect our attention to the simple, deep truth that to know God is to love His Word.

A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below". At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C. S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptation - and triumph over it - ever written.

While many of us struggle to understand it, the Trinity is one of the most important teachings of the Christian faith. It defines God's very essence and describes how he relates to us. And while it can be a difficult concept to get our heads around, it is crucial for believers to understand how God explains his triune nature in his word. In this book, James R. White offers a concise, understandable explanation of what the Trinity is and why it matters.

What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace."

To all our dilemmas, Ravi says, "I am convinced that Jesus Christ alone uniquely answers the deepest questions of our hearts and minds."

At one time, Corrie ten Boom would have laughed at the idea that she had a story to tell. For the first 50 years of her life, nothing out of the ordinary ever happened to her. She was a spinster watchmaker living contentedly with her sister and their elderly father in the tiny house over their shop in Haarlem. Their uneventful days, as regulated as their own watches, revolved around their abiding love for one another. But with the Nazi invasion and occupation of Holland, everything changed....

Story5 out of 5 stars 8
The first book written by C.S. Lewis after his conversion, The Pilgrim's Regress is, in a sense, a record of Lewis's own search for meaning and spiritual satisfaction that eventually led him to Christianity.
Publisher's Summary
For 300 years, The Pilgrim's Progress has remained perhaps the best-loved and most read of devotional fictions. In plain yet powerful and moving language, Bunyan tells the story of Christian's struggle to attain salvation and the Gates of Heaven. He must pass through the Slough of Despond, ward off the temptations of Vanity Fair, and fight the monstrous Apollyon. In Part II, his wife and children follow the same path, helped and protected by Great-heart, until for them, too, "the trumpets sound on the other side."
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

A classic true and true
I love the story and the old English used by John Bunyan. The narrator as well was quite engaging for the several accents given to certain characters. personally I felt the narration was a bit slow so I listened to it at X1.25 speed.

Beautiful!
What a beautiful allegory. I loved the narrator. He made what could have been a hard to listen to story (because of the old style English) exciting. My 4 children 11, 10, 8, and 6 have all enjoyed listening to this story. But I prepped them for it. I read them a children's version called Dangerous Journey and explained it to them. The children's version also had some beautiful pictures with it. Having had this introduction they had no problem listening to this unabridged version. The symbolism is rich and powerful. Highly recommended to all.

The Journey To Salvation Personified
Any additional comments?
This book is definitely Spirit lead, characterizing all of the forces we face each and every day as persons and with their own dialogue. You have to appreciate the Old English, and in a short while you adjust to it and come to admire the way it flows. The performance is one of the best I've heard (David Shaw-Parker). Both book and performance are at that top level quality that is just not possible of every book. Thank you Jesus for it.
Success!

Classic tale but some liberties are taken...
Is there anything you would change about this book?
If I purchased a Shakespeare audio book, I would expect a VERBATIM reading of the written classic. My ONLY complaint with this audio book is that it IS NOT verbatim. A few words have been altered from the written text. I do not understand WHY ANYONE would tamper with a classic. Don't change EVEN A WORD.
I enjoy the narration. The story is a MUST HAVE for every Christian home. I did not & will not ask for a refund as the changes in the audio book are minor but I WOULD hope that in the future, a CLASSIC BOOK that is produced as an audio book and presented as UNABRIDGED would also carry some mark to denote the written and oral words mirror each other or that they do not.
What other book might you compare The Pilgrim's Progress to and why?
I'm not sure that you could compare this work with any other work. Perhaps Milton's great classic "Paradise Lost" would be the closest and first obvious work that comes to mind.
What about David Shaw-Parker’s performance did you like?
Mr. David Shaw-Parker, in my humble opinion, is AN EXCELLENT choice to have performed the narration of this classic tale. I would have given him MORE than 5 stars if that were an option.
Do you think The Pilgrim's Progress needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Absolutely not. Don't tamper with a good thing.
Any additional comments?
Keep the classics PURE...don't change EVEN A WORD in the written or oral performance of a classic.

A gem of a book, brilliantly performed
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would absolutely recommend it. In fact, I have done so already many times over. Full disclosure: I am an atheist. I read this book not as Bunyan perhaps intended - to encourage one to turn to God - but as a terrific display of the essence of Puritanism: the idea of doing good works, predestination, temptation, and the single-minded pursuit of individual salvation even to the point of giving up on one's family.
What did you like best about this story?
The first part of the book focuses on Christian - his departure from his home town and his journey to Heaven. A curious story with lots of gory adventures along the way. Not pleasant to read, sometimes very difficult to even identify with the main character. But a gripping story nonetheless. The second part of the book was to me more interesting. This is the story of Christian's wife (Christiana) and her journey along the same route. In a gender stereotypical fashion, hers is not a story of individual victory over temptation/s, but a community (Christiana, her family, her next-door-neighbor, and a whole host of characters that they encounter along the way) joining forces towards Enlightenment (not of the rational kind but of the Puritan kind, of course).
What does David Shaw-Parker bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
David Shaw-Parker's reading is clear, crips, powerful. He brings Bunyan's characters to life in the most delicious way.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Why? Why would you want to objectify this book in the form of a movie? Please.. don't go there. Just leave it as is.. vibrant and alive in our own distinctive imagination.
