The Midwest Book Review - August, 1999

"Jim Pappas' adaptation of Bunyan's timeless classic is the most adventure-filled and reader-friendly modern version published today. The work is totally unabridged and (excepting certain amplified scenes) remains strictly adherent to Bunyan's original story line. In it we are treated to exciting new levels of love and joy, hope and humor, all skillfully woven and designed to accurately present Bunyan's spellbinding, inspirational masterpiece of angels and giants, castles and dragons to the modern reader. "The New Amplified Pilgrim's Progress" is highly recommended for Christians of all denominations and traditions."

"Incredibly well-adapted to our times - Great Family Reading. We began the "Aloud" reading of this wonderful book in our home as daily family time, and our four children, ages 5-14, have been energetic in their enthusiasm over it. We splurged and purchased each of them their own copy since we take turns reading, and they guard their books well.

"Using modern-day terminology, Pappas' 'Pilgrim's Progress' weaves an understandable, incredible journey. Even our five year old is entranced, and all are enriched as we discover and discuss the meanings of the players' and places' names. We keep the original version of Pilgrim's Progress nearby and compare passages at times. Mr. Pappas' rendition of this classic is superb. His amplifications really do enhance the journey of Christian, are not distracting, nor do they take away from the original text. This is an heirloom edition, to be sure. We have also very, very much enjoyed the old-world graphics throughout the book as it tends to take us back to the era in which it was staged."

"Always faithful to the original, "The New Amplified Pilgrim's Progress" weaves emotion and excitement into the story making it spellbinding for young readers. This new version of John Bunyan's allegorical masterpiece is more than a thoughtful retelling of Bunyan's immortal classic; it's an absorbing tale in its own right with lessons and insights clear and compelling."

"Dear Jim,
I have been very pleased with your book. It really brings out what John Bunyan had to say in today's language. Thank you for your hard but beautiful labor on the second greatest book in human history next to the Bible!! God bless you and may the Lord prosper you with this work!!!!!! I'm sure Mr. Bunyan is pleased to see his work enhanced this many years later!!"

"Having heard so much about Pilgrims Progress, by John Bunyan, but never being able to understand fully what the essence was, I was delighted when one night I discovered Mr. Pappas' retelling of the story and through his words a dream became reality for me. I started to read the free 'online portion' of the book and laughed and enjoyed it so that I sat reading until the early hours of the morning. When I got to the end of what I read I was more than anxious to get a complete copy, to continue the journey with Christian.

"Thank you Jim for restoring a valuable antique to reveal its real worth and beauty. Your work has made my life richer and I hope that anyone that reads your work will feel the same."

Foxes' Book of Martyrs (A review of the original)

"Pilgrim's Progress" has sold more copies, in more languages than any other non biblical book. "During his imprisonment he [John Bunyan] wrote that wondrous book [Pilgrim's Progress] of which it may safely be affirmed that no other book except the Bible has been translated into so many languages, passed through so many editions, commanded so many millions of readers, or been useful to the spiritual welfare of such multitudes"
p. 670 unabridged edition.
