♥ Pilgrim's Progress and Quotes
Okay as alot of people do NOT know my favorite book besides the Bible would happen to Be the famous "Book of Allegories" a masterpiece dreamed and written by John Bunyan called PILGRIM'S PROGRESS! It is a must read for any seeking Christian and I have been listening to the audio and reading the book alot of late. It brought back alot of fire to strive for the truth, every once in awhile people will hit a stand still... well I did for a bit but it's an encouragement and a blessing, and I am happy that John Bunyan dreamed what he did. His book is AMAZING!
----Quotes from John Bunyan----
“Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer”
“Pray often; for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan”
“When you pray, rather let your heart be without words than your words without heart.”
“If we have not quiet in our minds, outward comfort will do no more for us than a golden slipper on a gouty foot.”

“What a fool, quoth he, am I, thus to lie in a stinking dungeon, when I may as well walk at liberty! I have a key in my bosom, called Promise, that will, I am persuaded, open any lock in Doubting Castle”

“I love to hear my Lord spoken of, and wherever I have seen the print of His shoe in the earth, there have I coveted to put mine also.”
