The Holy War

The Losing and Taking Again of the Town of Mansoul

De: John Bunyan

Narrado por: Derek Perkins

First published in 1682, John Bunyan's allegorical novel The Holy War is a classic of Christian literature whose spiritual insight rivals that of even his most famous work, The Pilgrim's Progress. It tells the story of Mansoul, a utopia built to exalt the greatness and honor of its creator and leader, King Shaddai. However, when the wicked Diabolus, a former high servant of Shaddai's and the king of the blacks, assaults Mansoul, the town forgets its benevolent king and falls under his iniquitous rule. With the citizens of his beloved city lost to sin and vice, Shaddai sends his son, Prince Emmanuel, to deliver them from Diabolus' tyranny.

An epic tale of good versus evil, The Holy War is not only a masterpiece of religious literature, but also an entertaining and engaging story for all listeners.

A classic well read

Such a good and theologically rich story. Should be read yearly along with Pilgrim’s Progress!

if you like pilgrims progress , you'll like this

Holy war is a great book , very deep and full of meaning. this is a must read for the believer today

Great Allegory

John Bunyan gives a great allegory of the Christian life. I will listen to it yearly.

Excellent Audio

I have read or listened to many of John Bunyan books and I'm never disappointed. God gave him th wisdom to take certain books of the Bible and tell a grand story. Sometimes I can learn better in a story form. I read the Bible , but it's nice to have some tell a story and put other characters in it to tell the same story. I think the first book I listen too of his was Pilgrim Progress. I listen to it twice and learned more. The Holy War will be another that I read again. It's like hearing a wonderful sermon he goes Old Testament to the Gospels and the other books of the New Testament. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic All Around!

Great story. Great narration. Great recording. Had a tough time adjusting to the old English at first, but could not stop listening.

New favorite novel.

I have enjoyed this book more than I expected and I do wish this was turned into a movie.

Great reading, very insightful

John Bunyan provides a very unique and insightful perspective of the battle between the flesh and the Spirit. also provides a very useful view of the vises and strategies of Satan against the believers. this book is worth the time of every Christian. who ever reads it ,will find himself greatly encouraged by it .

great encouragement and

love everthing Bunyan wrote. Great story about the struggles of the Christian life, dual nature of our sin and rebellion, and God's faithful love and grace.

Superb and brilliant execution of all time classic

This reading was excellent and engaging. The book itself becomes more intriguing with every page. It is, in its on way, equal to Pilgrims Progress, which I’ve read many times, in its depth and breadth of teaching the overcoming Christian life. Highly recommended on all counts.

Great book full of hidden truth

For those who watch movies or read books looking for Christ and faith within this is for you.
