We used Maureen Bradley's book as a study guide in our Women's Bible Study. The commentary is excellent with lots of interesting historical detail. She brings in the writings various Puritans and shares other writers thoughts about Pilgrim's Progress. The questions are not your typical "dumb" study guide questions. They are probing, get to the heart of Bunyan's message and prompt great discussions. I can't recommend this study guide enough and I highly recommend it for individual or group use.

This book was somewhat helpful to me in trying to determine some of the allergories of Pilgrim's Progress, but I was disapointed that it only covered Part 1.

This is the original "Life Application Bible." I now understand why it is considered the 2nd most influential book ever written (the Bible being the first). The story is timeless. It applies to us now as much as it did to its original readers in the 1600s. Fabulously written! If King James English is too cumbersome for you, try the Modern English version. It is very true to the original. It is exceptionaly inspiring.

I'm leading a long-term study of Pilgrim's Progress and was seeking a supplemental source of discussion materials that were specific to the allegory, not just over-all questions on the entirety of the piece. Bradley's book offers a nice selection of questions that provoke thought or discussion. It's a thin volume, but it's meaty. My only criticism of it is one aimed at the book designer: the print seems to be a gray ink on a white paper. It's an artsy thing, but it makes the book harder to read than it needs to be. There is a reason that the standard is black on white.

Reviewing the suggested Pilgims Progress text and then appropriate questions very helpful, especially for those who are 1st time readers of Pilgrim's Progress.

personally I got more out of the book (Pilgrim's Progress) by simply sitting quietly with my own reflections. But I've been trained in reflection so if one has not been then one my choose to use a guide. This one will work.

This study guide was more than I expected. Some of the things I enjoyed about the book was the "dig" in the Bible to broaden my knowledge about my walk with Christ. It is the same yesterday, today and of course, tomorrow.

This is a wonderful book. The language can be a bit difficult, however the story line is adventuresome and exciting. Christian, the main character, begins his life as an average person in the city of destruction. Symbolically, over the course of his life, he overcomes temptation and reaches the Celestial City, heaven, his ultimate goal as a christian.
