Diane Turner ‘s review

This is a great narration from Steve Larsen spoken very clear and on task. Our GOD is an awesome and good GOD depicted in this audiobook. A true and good listen for a sinner who needs Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.So unbeliever,NOW is the time for salvation before it is too late. Repent and Believe!

got better understanding.

Read Pilgrims Progress years ago and was overwhelmed and gained little knowledge from it. This brought clarity and really enjoyed the presentation and narrators voice was great.

Engaging

The narrator brings the reader into Bunyan’s subject. I am really glad there is an audio narration of this book, which is really helpful for the Christian to grow in his or her understanding of God, and thereby grow in his or her faith.

An inside look at the theology that John Bunyan loved

This book is long overdue for our generation. While it has been around a while, my guess is that most are not nearly as familiar with it as they are John Bunyan’s famous Pilgrim’s Progress. This book serves as a kind of ‘The Making of Pilgrim’s Progress’ giving the reader/listener a glimpse into what made John Bunyan tick and from where he derived his extraordinary love of the telling of Christian’s journey to the celestial city. For it is the love of God and the love of theology that made Bunyan who he was and allowed the world to benefit from the writing of Pilgrim’s Progress. But this ‘behind the scenes’ look at the theology Bunyan loves is just as edifying for us to experience as modern readers. Truly devotional in parts, this study of God and man was not dry or cumbersome to listen to (especially through the voice of a truly incredible narrator, Steve Larsen) but rather, was ‘hard to put down’ as we often used to say when paper books were in vogue (still love those too!)
It is worth mentioning an additional note regarding the narrator. While he may be a new name on the audiobook scene, I hope we have much more to look forward to from Mr. Larsen. His reading of this book added to the devotional quality and with his easy-on-the-ears vocal quality, I believe I could listen to him read the phone book (do they still make those?). So enjoy this new ‘old’ book and may it be as edifying to you as it was to me.

When you focus on the sun and not the bars.

When you focus on the sun and not the bars, Pilgrim, there is no jail that will hold you. Read Bunyan before and did not understand until mercy was shown to me. The Narrator definitely keeps my ears engaged and understands what is being read.

Classic Bunyan

Bunyan challenges the reader to examine their relationship with God by scripture and prose. Parts would be at home in a hymn book were it set to music. While captive in prison for his beliefs, John Bunyan pours out passionate pleas for repentance to those in captivity to sin in this compelling narrative.

Stunning

The narrator's variety of tones and voices are good fit for the story and captures the vibes and the historical context.

A compilation of John Bunyan

Readers of Pilgrim's Progress will enjoy this volume of Bunyan's selected writings, brought to life by Steve Larsen. His engaging vocal style makes the archaic texts accessible to modern-day ears, giving the listener a clear picture of Bunyan's passionate faith.

A Rich Devotional Experience

This is a really great audiobook. Mr. Larsen has done an amazing job putting this together. This wonderful collection of excerpts from the writings of John Bunyan is presented here with great skill and care. The sound quality is excellent. Mr. Larsen's voice is easy to listen to, and he speaks very clearly. This is a very rich devotional experience.

Bunyan at His Best

For an uneducated tinker, John Bunyan knows how to write theology. His insights are carefully articulated in a way that would (and did in his own day) impress any theologian at the heights of academia, while at the same time presenting to us not a cold, detached subject but as the Puritans said a "felt Christ." Bunyan feels his theology, and this work is a remarkable example of that passionate knowledge.

When one considers that this was written locked away in a prison cell, with nothing but a Bible and Foxe's Book of Martyrs on hand, the writing is all the more astonishing. Here was a man who had internalized his theology and his love for the Lord. Not only is the work itself instructive, but so is its context. May we all love our God with a depth of heart like Bunyan's!

Steve Larsen's narration does an excellent job of reading this work in the way that one imagines Bunyan would want it read. A book like this cannot be read by a disinterested party, and thankfully our narrator is deeply interested in this work. Listener, enjoy!
