I can’t say that I have read this book…yet, but what I can say is that anyone who endeavours to read any work of Dr. Haykin is in for a real treat. He was my prof. for Church History, and a man whom I am painstakingly impressed with. He is a humble, diplomatic, professional person with a strong heart for God and His glory.
His knowledge on Church History is incredible, especially his understanding of the Reformation, the Puritans, and the Particular Baptist movements. But he cannot be limited there even. I could factually listen to him speak for hours.
I fervently recommend anything by Dr. Haykin as you will become well informed on the topic that he writes about, whether it’s Cromwell, Bunyon, Edwards or anyone else.
God bless and delight in.

Incredible book. I highly recommend it for anyone struggling with their faith in Christ- a fantastic personal look at Bunyan’s fantastic spiritual struggle to help you see that you aren’t alone in yours.

I could scarcely imagine why this book turned up first on my page of recommendations from amazon. I checked the reasoning, using the convenient small clicker, and establish that Bunyan was expected to appeal to me because I had reviewed “Gosta Berling’s Saga.” That, my friends, is firm evidence that computers are still fleeting on intuition.
Fascinated, but, I read the eight reviews of this honestly obscure title, and establish that they were all written by sincere believers in the strict Calvinist theology preached by John Bunyan in his lifetime, according to which we are all “sinners in the hands of an mad God” whose judgment passes our apprehension. According the Calvin and Bunyan, our ‘works’ and even our eagerness to be ’saved’ is of no fundamnetal importance; as one reviewer writes, “we do not choose God; God chooses us.” That’s not a system of belief I find appealing, though I ought to be consoled by the thought that God might ‘choose’ me whether I like it or not.
Bunyan was a cogent writer, though his style takes acclimatization. This biography is a major document of English history, as sure a way to get a feel for bookish English Puritanism as the masques of Henry Purcell are for the additional side, the party of the theater-loving Cavaliers. As such, it belongs on the shelf with additional profound self-exposures – Augustine’s, Cellini’s, Rousseau’s – but don’t expect the man to be any more attractive than his fanatical faith. He was truly “an mad sinner in hands he thought were God’s.”

This is the autobiography of John Bunyon and his life. It is about his life before and after Christ and the grace of God upon his life. John wrote this classic while in prison. He went to prison for preaching the gospel.

Finally! I establish it! A copy of Bunyan’s autobiography Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners. OK, I’ve been able to get it for years, but never for this cheap. $3.50 at a used bookstore in Royal Oak, MI. There it was, just sitting quietly on the shelf. So innocent, so unassuming. Lime green take in fading from either over use or neglect. I selected up the 10 books on top of it and pulled it out carefully. A modern English version too?! Score!
So far it’s both what I expected and filled with surprises. Because I like Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress I’ve heard a lot of folks make mention of his autobiography and highly recommend it. They were right. It is excellent. It’s an incredible chronicle of Bunyan’s struggle and vacillation between trusting God’s promises and believing Satan’s accusations. It sheds some fantastic light on his upbringing and life before being drawn to Christ. It speaks about his marriage, his exposure to additional Christians and his favorite leisure activities as a young man. What I did not expect to read was how long his struggle to judge and be assured he was in Christ really drug on. He went back and into the world between fantastic hope and utter despair for nearly 87 pages (in my copy). He reflects on this struggle and is encouraged by how the Lord used it to teach him fantastic things that would stay with him the rest of his journey toward the heavenly city. I am also pleasantly surprised to find out how much of his personal experience was drawn upon to write the worlds most legendary allegory, Pilgrim’s Progress.
The book was fantastic, I finished it a few days ago. Much of what Bunyan describes herein could’ve been written by me from my own conversion experience.
I highly recommend this.
