I just finished reading “The Hidden Smile of God” by John Piper, which profiles Bunyan’s life…and in searching my bookshelves was appalled to find that I didn’t own my own copy of Pilgrim’s Progress.
Stephen, are we still entered if at the beginning of the year we followed you on Twitter and/or subscribed to your RSS feed?
Scott – No, for this giveaway you need to leave a comment. Thanks!
Would love to get my hands on this book:) especially knowing that it has been edited for “Ease of reading:)”

I’ve heard about this book. They say that it describes an account where they tried collectivism/communism and everyone nearly starved to death, then they switched to private property/capitalism and everyone prospered. Is that account really in there?
Sounds great. Count me in.

This is a must-have on any Christian’s bookshelf. Oh, wait, I haven’t got it yet, so, uh, I need to work on that starting off with this comment and a retweet!

I have seen the movie 2xs. This is a wonderful story. It accurately depicts the Christian walk, the joys, the challenges, the cunning attacks from the enemy that we inevitably encounter. Thanks for offering this. I highly reccommend the movie.
We’ve been talking about reading this story to our girls for homeschooling – an illustrated edition would be fantastic!
Mmmm…one of my favourite books and one of my favourite publishers. I’m in…
Sounds like a sweet deal.
Ease of reading sounds great!
I wonder if John had a good podiatrist…
Easy version is for me, I went to public school.
One of the greatest books ever written!
Please enter me in the drawing!
Great book!

Is “no comment” considered a comment?
Can’t pass this up! (Especially as a college student, ha!)
Over the course of the last few months, me and a friend (and room mate) have been inviting Mormon (LDS) missionaries into our home in an attempt to share the true gospel of Christ crucified with them. One “elder” (Mormon missionary) we have formed a friendship with left his “mission” a few weeks ago. The night before he left we had a going away party for him, shared Jesus with him one more time, and gave him several books, including The Pilgrim’s Progress.
Story on my blog here: http://graceliberation.blogspot.com/2009/08/gospel-for-mormons.html

I remember old Pliable from Pilgrim’s Progress, but that was ages ago… it would be good to read it again now that I am older. I’m sure I’ll understand so much more.

Nice way to raise awareness about this great new book!

I read this when I was in high school…so many years ago. I’ve often thought it’s time to sit down to read it again. This would fit the bill nicely. I have already reTweeted this.
YAY! This looks so great!
It has been a real joy to read the Pilgrim’s Progress to my 5 children. I’m looking forward to this edition to not only read it to them but to also show them pictures and help them follow along.
I appreciate Pilgrim’s Progress more and more as I age. I pray that I may be faithful to the end of my pilgrim’s journey.
Recently re-read this and would love to have what appears to be a beautiful edition by our favorite: Crossway Books.

This one is already on my wishlist. Thanks for the giveaway.
First read this book to my boys when they were 4 and 6. A family favorite. We could definitely use a new copy!
Wow! Maybe this copy would actually inspire me students to read it. Or….I could just REQUIRE they read it. Sometimes it is good to be the tutor.
Stephen, just ask yourself, “What would Spurgeon do?”

I know the author and I can speak for the quality of this exciting new book!
John Bunyan is one of my favorite deceased saints.
Count me in!
It is a very long shot I know but it would be a great book to share with the HIV/AIDS children of Uganda!
Gimme.
Not ashamed to say gimme too.
Please enroll me in the chance to win this outstanding book. Thank you.
As I said in Facebook, I recently read Little Women which has many references to Pigrim’s Progress. I would love to win a copy of Pilgrim’s Progress to see for myself what the mother of Little Women was referring to that impressed her daughters so much that they struggled to overcome their worst enemy, their own selfish nature.
Stephen, Thanks for the great giveaway.
Hi, thank you for this opportunity. I’d like to be entered into this ‘contest’. Thank you ~
A great giveaway! I enjoy your blog greatly. Thanks!
Love your site. Blessings, and thanks for the book! (hint, hint)
Looking forward to hearing more about Pilgrim’s Progress!
I greatly enjoyed reading this book it has brought me great encouragement!
I have an old version of “Pilgrim’s Progress” I’ve picked up to read on several occasions but found the old language difficult to read. As a result, I’ve never gotten past the first few pages. Would live to try again with a more approachable version.
I have a copy of Pilgrim’s Progress from 1963 and need a new copy.
We read this every year in school growing up (not this edition, though). Love this book & can’t wait to share it with my children!
Pilgrim’s Progress!
Bob says you play football like a girl
Hey, thanks for the opportunity!
Woohoo!
i remember reading a children’s version of this book in korean growing up. i absolutely loved it.
My art teacher always loved showing us the artwork in an old edition of the Pilgrim’s Progress, and this edition looks gorgeous.
Who would not want this.
I would love to get this book!!
…”Pilgrim’s Progress”……A gem amongst many books!!
I have tried to read this book but can not seem to finish it. Something just doesn’t click for me. Maybe this book would help with my lack of understanding! Thank you for this opportunity.
Awesome!
i’d like to win.
If you haven’t given this away yet, I’d love a copy. My 7 year old son recently read Dangerous Journey (based on PP). Him and I just finished going throug the Narnia series and I would love to read to him Pilgrim’s Progress.
Love to win books and things, thank you.
Just curious…so who won?!
