When Christian came to the House of the Interpreter in the First Part of The Pilgrim's Progress, he was shown many memorable sights that prepared him for the journey ahead. Now Christiana, Mercy, and the children arrive at that same house. Before they continue toward the Celestial City, they too must learn those truths that every pilgrim needs for the road. Bunyan wastes no time in bringing them inside.

Tomorrow—and for the weeks ahead—we begin with the man himself. A Different Kind of Story This is not a novel in the modern sense. There are no hidden meanings, no subtle irony, no shifting timelines. Bunyan writes plainly. He wants to be understood. And yet, what he gives us is unforgettable. A man with a burden on his back.A book in his hand.A city behind him that is marked for destruction. And a road ahead.
