Journey with Bunyan’s Pilgrim says, “God uses our memory to remind us of the past so we do not repeat our sins. At the same time, He wants us to see clearly His love, mercy, and grace in the examples of what Jesus has done. These bring perspective to our relationship and give hope to our future.”
Journey with Bunyan’s Pilgrim was written by Ann L. Coker, wife to former pastor Bill Coker. In the book, Words of Endearment, Ann also partnered to bring Bill’s sermons to life in written form. Ann asks, “What is the goal of your Christian walk?”
Ann furnishes this companion guide for The Pilgrim’s Progress as a study tool to apply the lessons and ferret out the nuggets from John Bunyan’s famous book. She presents insights into the allegories and journaling prompts for processing the truths there. Indeed, Ann acts like a helper throughout the route. She reminds us, “we do not travel alone, for God has sent companions to enable us along life’s journey.”
Ann recognizes the need for self-care for a successful trek, and our need for a shepherd. She says, “Sheep need tending; they are often careless about their needs and unable to stay on the way. With his staff, a shepherd will rescue a wandering lamb and get him back on the right path.”
Journey with Bunyan’s Pilgrim provides an overview of John Bunyan’s work and through that summary gives a takeaway for the reader to process their own way through the valley and peaks of life in our times.
