"Not bad. Kinda wierd, like reading a F. Peretti novel about demons and angels batteling it out in the heavenlies. Bunyan was a great story teller though, and his stroies often have a deeper theme about righteousness versus wickedness. It's kind of a morality tale of sorts."
"John Bunyan's brilliant mind in the 1600s produced this great allegory of Satan's war against man's soul. This book is so insightful about Satan's schemes against man, and Christ's rescue and continual rescue that I really love it better than his more popular classic Pilgrim's Progress."
"This is one of those older, classic works that has been staring me in the face since I bought it in 1995. The edition I read has been updated to modern English for the modern reader. Naturally, one would wonder if it is as good as The Pilgrim's Progress. The answer is no. However, it does hold its place in Christian allegory. In fact, I would almost reccommend the reader to tackle this one before The Pilgrim's Progress for two reasons: 1) it covers the bigger picture of redemption and the battle for the soul whereas Pilgrim's Progress is focused mainly on the personal journey of faith, and 2) your expectations won't be as high and you won't be disappointed. Bunyan does a great job describing the battle that goes on in the soul of Man going back and forth between the personal battle as well as the corporate struggle of the saints to follow after Jesus. In classic Bunyan fashion, he comes up with clever names to describe the personifed sins and virtues as he does in The Pilgrim's Progress. Another thing that Bunyan does so well is to weave the words of Scripture into the story. For example, when Prince Emmanuel comes to claim the city and is approaching the gates of the city, he quotes Psalm 24 starting with "Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of Glory shall come in." At that moment in the story it is the perfect text to weave into the story. There are times throughout the book where it seemed to drag on, especially right after the first battle. But overall, it is an enjoyable read. I particularly enjoyed the last chapter as Prince Emmanuel gives his words to the people of Mansoul before he leaves. He gives them the promise of a future with Him free from struggle and pain thus encouraging them to continue the battle against sin. Some of the other themes in the book besides battling against the deceitfulness of sin are: true repentance, the silence of God during unrepentant sin, and the sensitive and seared conscience."
"This book is a great illustration of the battle that is waged for our souls, told as a story where the soul is a town named Mansoul, and a war is waged against its inhabitants by Satan and is overtaken. Jesus is the Prince who comes to retake the town for His own, for the glory of His Father... I think you know how this battle will turn out! Very good book."
