- Strength
- Powerful evangelistic persuasion with tender care for troubled consciences.
- Limitation
- Its urgency can feel intense, so we should read with humility and careful reflection.
We read this as a direct, gospel charged invitation that refuses to let sinners hide behind fear, delay, or despair.
John Bunyan holds out Christ freely, and he pleads with us to come, because Christ welcomes all who come to Him.
Why Should We Read This Resource?
We are helped because Bunyan understands the tricks of the heart. He anticipates objections, answers excuses, and exposes the unbelief that can dress itself up as humility. All the while he keeps pointing us to Christ’s readiness to receive the guilty.
We also gain a model of evangelistic persuasion shaped by Scripture. Bunyan reasons carefully, presses the conscience, and comforts tender hearts, without lowering the demands of repentance and faith.
For pastors and evangelists, this is immensely usable. We are given a way of speaking that is both urgent and compassionate, holding out Christ while still calling for honest turning to Him.
Closing Recommendation
We strongly recommend this as a compelling gospel appeal, valuable for personal reading and for pastoral ministry.
