Synopsis

One of the great spiritual autobiographies in the English language, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners was written in 1666 while John Bunyan, the author of The Pilgrim's Progress, lay imprisoned in Bedford jail for preaching without a license.

With searching honesty, Bunyan recounts his journey from a profane and careless youth through years of doubt, temptation, and crushing despair, to a settled assurance of the mercy of God in Christ. Few books lay bare the anatomy of a soul with such candor: the snares of sin, the whispers of the Tempter, the long wrestling with Scripture, and the slow dawning of grace upon "the chief of sinners."

For more than three and a half centuries this Puritan classic has comforted doubting believers, strengthened the tempted, and pointed the despairing to the abounding grace of God.
