Journey to Hell

Mr. Badman is just plain BAD. Little sins in little children get magnified into bigger and worse sins. Mr. Badman truly has every bad trait anyone could ever have. He started with lying and stealing, graduated into drinking, cheating and adultery, and then becomes a first-class hypocrite to snag himself a wealthy Christian woman for marriage. While he was sick, he cried out in false repentance only to regress as soon as he was getting well. The saddest and most touching part of the book is the death of his Christian wife and her exhortations to him and their unsaved children. From then on, it's all downhill, as Mr. Badman's seared conscience admits no light, and God gives him up to his destruction. This book has everything NOT to do if you don't want to end up like Mr. Badman. It is also very relevant with the issues of today, drunk "driving", planned "parenthood", and bankruptcy and fraud. Hot summertime reading.

John Bunyan's "Journey to Hell" is in my opinion one of the most convicting books I think I have ever read.Bunyan does an excellent work of examining the life of a recently departed man through the eyes of two friends who examine and discuss the deeds of the dead man and compare it to what Scripture says. This book is well worth reading.

If you liked Pilgrims Progress by this author, you will be intrigued by his main character, Badman, as he goes his own way in life.The contrasting efforts of Mr. Wiseman to help Badman find his way to righteousness should be examined carefully by everyserious Christian who does not want to end up in Mr. Badman's position. Beyond that, I choose not to go lest I spoil for the readerthe excellent journey through God's word that awaits you.I would also recommend "the Holy War" by John Bunyan. It's an inspiring story.

The book purchased was a modernized, updated version, making it (for me) a disappointing, washed-out experience. The power of the author's work is drained and the reading event is shallow when editors feel the need to "fix" the original...

The entire book is a conversation between Wiseman and Attentive regarding the demise of Mr. Badman. Wiseman basically lectures Attentive (and the reader) on the vices of Mr. Badman in a most long winded fashion. I had thought this would be similar to Pilgrim's Progress however that is not the case. I did not care for this book.

Bunyan is Bunyan and always worth a read. Let him teach you allegorically about the Christian life or the lack of it.

If you loved Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" and you yearn for more, then "Journey to Hell" is the volume for you. John Bunyan (1628 1688) was born England, preached in Lower Samsell and spent time in prison for his faith. His marvelous pen produced:- The Holy City- Pilgrims' Progress- Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners- The Holy War- Visions of Heaven and Hell- And this outstanding volume.Herein Bunyan presents a fascinating allegory as the main character, Mr. Badman, is a wicked miscreant hell-bent of living for sin. He's depraved and immersed in the lusts of the flesh, wickedness, depravity, and carnality. His profligacy is compared with the moral law and the fruit of the Spirit as the right way to live is made clear while trusting in Christ alone for eternal salvation. It's uplifting and edifying to ponder the life of Mr. Wiseman who lives for God and strives to please the Lord.Chapters in this stirring volume include:- A bad boy- Tricks of the wicked businessman- The sin of pride- A Christian's death- A quiet, hardened death- The Final judgment- And Excellent Extras: The sayings of John Bunyan and the Life of John Bunyan.Bunyan says: "If you have sinned, do not lie down without repentance; for the want of repentance after one has sinned makes the heart yet harder and harder."This powerful work will help you discover How to:- find true joy in difficult conditions- avoid the dire results of sin and profligacy- instruct your children in the ways of God and how they can avoid evil- be secure in Christ and find pardon from God s judgment- And moreThis was originally published as "The Life and Death of Mr. Badman" (271 pages).
