This is a short and honest account of how God demonstrated his exceeding great mercy to his unworthy servant John Bunyan. This story specifically tells how Bunyan was converted. John Bunyan was a companion of sin and was troubled by sin.

In Part II, his wife and children follow the same path, helped and protected by Great-heart, until for them, too, "the trumpets sound on the other side."

But the Scripture says, ‘perfect love casts out fear.’ Therefore it seems that saints should not fear after they have received the Spirit of adoption, but, as another Scripture says, they should ‘serve him without fear’ (1 John 4:18; Luke 1:74-75).

To the mind enlightened by divine truth, the difference between a filial fear of offending God and the dread of punishment is very plain. Still, by the devil's sophistry, some of the most pious Christians have been puzzled and bewildered.
