The Way of a Christian is a 90 days devotional covering the life of John Bunyan. He was a preacher and a writer. He was jailed in 1661 for 12 years after refusing to censor his religion. His book the Pilgrims Progress has been published in over 200 languages. The devotional was rewritten to include current things to help readers to relate to the message in today’s times. The goal of the book is to assist us in the ways of being a true Christian. Each day contained a verse, devotional teaching, three questions, and a prayer.
One of my favorite devotionals was the one that discussed the fire alarm. He shared a story about how a group of business men hearing the fire alarm go off. The senior manager thought the alarm was a false alarm. He stayed inside the building and everyone else followed suit. Then there was an explosion. He used this story to compare it to how many Christians are ignoring the warning signs of God’s wrath and judgement. We have to make our own decision on if we will follow Christ and His teachings.
I would recommend this awesome devotional on the teachings of the Pilgrim’s Process. I immensely loved how they included current things to help us relate to the book. It made it easier for readers to connect with the message that many probably haven’t heard before. This was the first time in reading about John Bunyan and his writings. I liked how he covered the topic of a better expectation. We can let our major disappointments cause us to go into a deep depression or we can hold on to better expectations. We can instead believe that a new day is coming and that God has given us a sound mind. We can have hope for a brighter day. This will help you in the ways of becoming a better Christian.
"I received this book free from the publisher, Bethany House/ Chosen for my honest review.”
