About this audiobook
The best allegory ever written now retold in easy-to-understand modern English, making it clearer and more forceful to the modern reader.
With more than 300,000 in print, this elegant retelling of John Bunyan’s classic by James H. Thomas follows Christian as he leaves his home in the City of Destruction and begins a long journey to the Celestial City. His adventure is full of encounters with interesting people, such as Faithful, Hopeful, and Ignorance. Traveling through places such as Vanity Fair and the Valley of the Shadow of Death, he reaches his heavenly home and learns rich lessons during the journey. The story has immediate application for everyday life.
Later on, Christian's wife, Christiana, decides to join her husband in the Celestial City. As she travels, Christiana comes upon a different set of people, such as Greatheart, Mercy, and Honesty. Her story illustrates how Christians follow different paths but with the same destination: eternity with Jesus.
Thomas James
Jeannie Thomas lives in South Carolina with her husband, Rae, and two children, James and Betsy. She graduated form Arkansas State University in the late 80s with a degree in Radio-TV, minoring in music. She has since changed directions and works at home as a medical transcriptionist. She has always worked with children in some capacity since she was very young, starting out as a baby-sitter in Collierville, Tennessee, where she grew up. Through those years, she often scratched out or made up little children’s stories and would tell or sing them to the children. After the birth of their two children, she had new inspiration for her stories and decided to try publishing a few of her favorites. This is the first of her published works, done with the assistance of her husband, Rae who is her best friend. The illustrations were done by her mother, Judy Doudoukjian and her son, James.
