John Bunyan (1628-1688) was born in Elstow, England, and his life was spared twice in his early years, something he believed God had done for a special purpose. In November 1660, when Bunyan arrived to preach in the little town of Lower Samsell, he was informed that a warrant had been issued for his arrest. Unwilling to denounce his Christian faith and his calling to the ministry, he was imprisoned for twelve years.
Among the many writings he published during his imprisonment are "The Holy City; Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners;" and the most famous, "The Pilgrims Progress".
After his release, he became the pastor of a church in Bedord, England and continued to write and publish stirring works that have endured through time. Among these classics are "The Holy War; Bunyan's Visions of Heaven and Hell" and "Journey to Hell: The Life and Death of Mr. Badman."

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a spirited defense of Christian communion with those who have not been baptized. The author engages in a lively debate with a critic who advocates for a stricter, more exclusive view of church membership, arguing that baptism is an essential prerequisite for participation. The author draws upon scriptural interpretations and historical examples, particularly the early church in the wilderness, to support their position. They contend that the practice of excluding the unbaptized from communion contradicts the spirit of unity and love espoused by Christ and his apostles. The book is thus situated within a broader historical context of debates about church practice and the nature of salvation. This book probes the significance of outward rituals, such as baptism, in the context of genuine Christian faith and spiritual communion. It challenges the reader to reconsider the boundaries of fellowship and to prioritize a shared faith and a life of holiness over external markers of religious affiliation. By exploring the complex relationship between outward practices and inward faith, the book offers a thought-provoking and historically-grounded perspective on a fundamental question of Christian practice.
