John Bunyan: Recommended Resources July 1, 1986
Dangerous Journey is an adaptation of Pilgrim’s Progress to introduce the story to children. It is available in book form from Eerdmans Publishing and in film and video from Gateway Films. Gateway also provides a 20 page leader’s guide for use with the film series. The film series is best utilized if the leader prepares the children to look for specific characters and experiences and then discuss them after the showing. Bunyan the Preacher is a half hour film that shows a time when Bunyan was let out of his jail cell by a cooperative jailer to go and preach to an “unlawful assembly.” The sermon he gives captures the essence and imagery of Bunyan’s preaching and writing and provides an excellent experience of Bunyan’s era and message.
