Recently I had the great pleasure of buying an 1816 copy of the Puritan John Bunyan’s classic Pilgrim’s Progress A fragile and well worn book  held together now by the one remaining piece of bi-centenial string! I intend to read it slowly and carefully sometime in the coming days  to feel the weight of years that it has existed  the burden it carries  and the heart of a prison-bound man who simply loved God and saw Him  despite his chains
