Publisher's summary

The most famous Christian allegory still in print is recast in verse for kids age 8 to 12 (but older listeners will love it too).

In the narrator’s dream, Christian follows the advice of Evangelist and leaves the City of Destruction for the Celestial City. His travels include visits to many fascinating places, including the Hill of Difficulty, the Palace Beautiful, the Valley of Humiliation, Vanity Fair, and Doubting Castle.

Along the way, he meets Worldly Wiseman, Goodwill, Hypocrite, Apollyon, Faithful, Mr. Talksalot, Hopeful, Simpleton, and a host of other colorful characters. The journey is fraught with peril and requires every ounce of Christian’s strength and resolve, but he presses on with determination to leave his old life behind and experience eternal life in Christ.

Great for children

I think that this book will be good for my grandchildren. It didn't take long and it was catchy with the poems and songs.

Amazing and enthralling!

I listened to this with trepidation because in my experience, classic books that are "retold" are usually warped and often ruined when compared to the original. Not so with this retelling. The message is clear, the poetry which conveys it is good, the illustrations (in the sample I downloaded) are appealing and I kept listening and enjoying it more and more. When only half through, I recommended it to friends at church with children, and Ill keep recommending it!

Yes, kids FAVORITE

The production is so well done, fun and engaging complete with sound effects and musical tracks! It's actually more like a radio drama, so it's been super good for kids, the whole book rhymes!! The music is also surprisingly pretty cool. We have the print book of this, which is also really nice, but having it on audio book has been so worth it because it entertains my little kids in a different way, or we use it together. I give it 5 solid stars

Best reading I have ever heard!

This is the most energetic and beautiful recording I have ever heard of this book. The very first Christian movie I ever watched after starting my walk with Jesus was “The Pilgrims Progress” and now that I have children I wanted to find something of it that would allow them to use their imaginations of what is happening. They are not old enough yet to understand the wordings for the characters and be able to connect them yet but I was very moved after listening to the whole thing while doing my chores around the house today. The end had my in tears, it was presented beautifully! Thank you to whomever did this adaptation, it was very good!

Beautifully Written and Preformed

This is a fascinating, cleaver, and beautifully written version of Pilgrim's Progress. I just finished listening to the audiobook with my four and five year old who were captivated at every moment. I loved it too! This audiobook is a good for all ages; both young and old!

Best Pilgrim's Progress for families!

Our family has loved this book so very much. The Audiobook brings it even more to life, using many of the actors from the original YouTube musical film. I've purchased many copies of the book itself for other young families to enjoy, and recommend this audio version as they play all the songs out which is such a great added bonus.

My kids and i both love it!

Great book! Not only do the kids love it but so do I! We’ve listened to it through 3 times and know we will again!

Artistic interpretation of the original

Delightful and artistic telling of the original text. More like an old radio program performance than a reading, with fun songs and rhymes. Wonderful for children but also enjoyable for the whole family.
