The Pilgrim’s Progress is one of the most beloved—if not the most beloved—Christian allegories of all time. Written by John Bunyan while he was in prison for preaching the gospel, the first part of the book has been in print since 1678. Although Bunyan did not initially publish the book with illustrations, most later editions have included them. However, Cox’s version is both an illustrated and poetic adaptation of Bunyan’s work. As a result, it introduces young children to this important classic in a way that is accessible and engaging. I’ve read Paul and Stephanie Cox’s edition to my kids many times. It is succinct yet captures the heart of Bunyan’s original work, making it memorable through rhyme and beautiful illustrations. I highly recommend this adaptation of the timeless classic.

Few books have had such great historical and global impact as John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress. In print for hundreds of years, Bunyan’s allegory of the Christian life is a staple in Christian homes. In The Pilgrim’s Progress: A Poetic Journey, author and illustrator Paul Cox, of Ref Toons fame, offers a delightful children’s version of this classic. The story of Christian’s escape from the City of Destruction and dangerous journey to the Celestial City comes alive in whimsical rhymes and illustrations. With his characteristic artistic style, Cox portrays the perils of the journey in vivid detail, all the while pointing young readers (and their parents) to the eternal truth that God leads and keeps His people by His grace. Get this wonderful introduction to Pilgrim’s Progress into the hands of the children in your life and watch it spark their imaginations and desire to learn more about Christian and the King he serves.

A Good Gift for Great Friends

A great friend of mine from church had received several RefToons resources from me for her grandchildren a few years ago. She had been taking them to each house and reading them to her family when she was visiting. A few months ago her daughter asked to keep the copy of Pilgrim's Progress. Her kids love it so much that it has become nightly bedtime fare. And so, aware there were other grandkids now going without, I ordered more for her. This way these young minds can be introduced to Christian, John Calvin and Catechism in a way their parents have come to deeply appreciate. Thank you for making these introductions so easy for young minds and thank you for all your efforts. It makes a difference!

Hi Jennifer,

Thank you for sharing! It's so fun to hear how these resources are being used!

Pilgrims Progress and my 4 year old

My 4 year old loves this book; it has opened the door for questions and things that only a toddler would think to ask/inquire, but the answers will help him far beyond that. I can't wait to read it to my daughter when she understands more, as well.
