What did you like best about this story?

If anyone agonizes over the assurance of their salvation, blasphemous thoughts, the unpardonable sin, temptation, sin, attacks of the evil one, or any other ill that attacks the soul of man in opposition to salvation and the glory of God through the person of Jesus Christ, then "Come ye who fear God and I will tell you what He has done for my soul!" Truly indeed, here in this book is "a wonderful system of education."

Simon Vance is John Bunyan. I have listened to this work a dozen times and plan to listen to it a dozen more. I can't listen to any of his other works because all I hear is "Come ye who fear God and I will tell you what He has done for my soul!"

Compelling Personal Testimony

John Bunyan's open, honest and self reflective testimony is very compelling. His letting us into his personal thoughts, especially those which expressed doubt, were greatly appreciated as we all experience them. Greater is his commitment after the doubt, which provides encouragement to the reader.

Like a mirror

Never in my life have my own doubts and fears been laid out in the words of another as have been in this discourse. To know that I’m not unique and that there is nothing new under the sun bids me fly to my Jesus with no delay and rest in him in every way.
