Grace Abounding To The Chief Of Sinners

John Bunyan! Known throughout Christendom his classic work "Pilgrim's Progress" -- which is the most popular and influential book in the history of the church (aside from the Bible).

How gracious is God's grace and how relentless is He in the pursuit His children. Bunyan's autobiography does what should be natural for every child of God. He gratefully magnifies the grace of God -- John 3:30, "He must increase, but I must decrease."
