Chapter four - Eugene Prewitt 155FactWhen someone writes a religious book, that person is either inspired by Satanor the Holy Spirit. Read the following and decide who inspired John Bunyan ashe wrote “The Pilgrim’s Progress.”The Review and Herald, May 30, 1912Consider John Bunyan imprisoned in the Bedford jail. His enemiesthink they have placed him where his work for others must cease. But notso. He is not idle. The love for souls continues to burn within him, andfrom the loath-some dungeon there is sent forth a light that has shone toall parts of the civilized world. There he wrote his wonderful allegory ofthe pilgrim's journey from the land of destruction to the celestial city.This book, "The Pilgrim's Progress," portrays the Christian life soaccurately, and presents the love of Christ so attractively, that through itsinstrumentality hundreds and thousands have been converted.If you have not already done so, please read the book, Creeping Compromise,by Joe Crews and decide who inspired him as he wrote it.
