Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners

John Bunyan

Book Overview: 

Grace Abounding is the spiritual autobiography of John Bunyan, who also penned Pilgrim’s Progress, perhaps one of the most significant pieces of Christian literature, second only to the Bible. Grace Abounding follows Bunyan’s struggle to find true repentance and forgiveness, his battle with Satan’s temptations of unbelief, his comfort found in the Bible and his overarching victory gotten by the grace of God through Jesus Christ his Son. Readers familiar with Pilgrim’s Progress will recognize that many of the allegorical points in his famous work came out of Bunyan’s own struggles and discoveries, and it has been said that Bunyan could not have written Pilgrim’s Progress without first going through the battles chronicled in Grace Abounding.

67.  Now I was in great distress, thinking in very deed that this might well be so; wherefore I went up and down, bemoaning my sad condition; counting myself far worse than a thousand fools for standing off thus long, and spending so many years in sin as I had done; still crying out, Oh! that I had turned sooner!  Oh! that I had turned seven years ago!  It made me also angry with myself, to think that I should have no more wit, but to trifle away my time, till my soul and heaven were lost.

68.  But when I had been long vexed with this fear, and was scarce able to take one step more, just about the same place where I received my other encouragement, these words broke in upon my mind, Compel them to come in, that my house may be filled; and yet there is room.  Luke xiv. 22, 23.  These words, but especially those, And yet there is room, wer. . . Read More

What a precious book to me. Very relieving and comforting to know that there are people in time past that have gone through similar, if not, the same conflict of the soul as I have encounter in my spiritual life. although it was kind of hard for me to read due to the old English language, i could st

The way Bunyan describes the comfort he found in Luther’s commentary on Galatians is exactly the comfort my heart felt reading this book - I found a friend in Bunyan as he did in Luther!! 1 Corinthians 10:13 vibes.

Good. Also read in August of 1979. Excellent that time. Read again in 2012. Really appreciated it.

A passionate testimony to what God has done in and through the life of John Bunyan. His early life was filled with sin and doubts, yet these led him to cling ever-tighter to the Word of God.

His dated writing style was challenging to listen to, but still so encouraging.

I can sympathize, being prone to the same sort of overthinking and navel-gazing, myself, but I confess that I laughed at him a few times. Even he called his thoughts foolish at one point, though I don't know a

It is always encouraging to read the biographies of men and women who ran the race of the Christian faith and finished well.
Note: I strongly recommend that you read this book at the same time you read The Pilgrim’s Progress and Pictures of the Pilgrim’s Progress by C. H. Spurgeon.
