David Harakal | 1 comments Hello. I'm new to GoodReads, to being an author, and to seeking reviews. My book is "The Pilgrim's Progress for the 21st Century", and I would love to get more honest feedback, both here and on Amazon, especially from those who care deeply about accurately reflecting scripture in fiction. The blurb is below. Thank you for your consideration.

In this present-day rendition of John Bunyan’s "The Pilgrim’s Progress," Christian Pilgrim drives a high-end SUV with his wife and three teenaged children toward Celestial City and the promise of relief from the burden of their sins. They stay in B&Bs and inns, eat in diners and cafés as they confront the same sins that plagued Bunyan’s characters yet with expressions sometimes unimaginable 350 years ago.

"The Pilgrim’s Progress for the 21st Century" will resonate with the modern reader as the original has for centuries. This adaptation is the first to update context and language while preserving the characters, form and flow of Bunyan’s best-selling allegory. Students of the classic text and those intimidated by it will relate to Christian and his family as they struggle to be the men and women God intended them to be.
