This man is an inspiration
One of the benefits of this book is it's complete honesty of situations experienced in the 1600's. When compared with 21st century problems and pains, one can see that as scripture says "there is nothing new under the sun" and when it speaks of "temptations that are common to man" we experience the same 5 weapons of the enemy of our souls as did Bunyan (afflictions, persecutions, cares of the world, lust for other things and the deceitfulness of riches).
His story reads as 17th century blog. His conclusions are as relevant today as they were then. God's faithfulness will never let us down. His official education was 8th grade, yet his knowledge of the Word enabled him to confound the Pharisees of his day. His ability to converse with God and hear him is a goal all Christians should aspire to. What a leader. What a man. What a great ambassador of Christ in this world. I look forward to meeting him someday!

Beautiful.
Oh how quickly God can change a man from sinner to Saint if you let Him break you.
