Unfortunately it is boring and does not hold your attention. I liked Pilgrim's Progress but I did not like this one. The holy war is the war of good and evil, God and Satan and man against the forces of good and evil. ( ) I actually liked this one even more than Pilgrims Progress, because the application is clearer. It made me cry at least once, when the city was overrun for 2-1/2 years. This is a very personal and relevant book for me, and you may find it helpful to you. It even gave me a dream: the Holy Spirit sent messengers ahead to see if he would be honored in the home. He sent piety, holiness, and devotion. They were all received with a civil politeness but soon were driven out as undesirable. So the Holy Spirit moved on. A vivid allegory for the Christian life, from the Fall of Man through to being conquered for Christ, the backsliding and lukewarmness, and the repentance and holy zeal. I especially liked how Bunyan painted the love of Christ in everything Emmanuel did. It's written in a KJV-style English, so there's plenty of thee's and thou's, and sentences turned inside out. I'm not particular bothered by that, but I have great respect for the narrator for flawlessly rendering it all as if he spoke it every day. This was an interesting piece of work, no doubt, but I don't feel that the novel has held up well against the toils of time. The writing was a bit dense and archaic and the plotline, atlhough based on true events, reads like a mediocre second-hand retelling more than anything else. It was not that enjoyable of a read and I do not recommend it. 2 stars. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
