All Loves Excelling is John Bunyan's sermon on Ephesians 3:18-19: "That ye...may be able to comprehend with all saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge." It was first titled The Saints' Knowledge of Christ's Love, is worthy of being ranked alongside Sibbes, and deals with a much neglected subject area.

It's both a simple adventure story and a profound allegory of the Christian journey through life, a delightful listen with a message kids ages six to 12 can understand and remember. A new look for today's children enlivens the journey to the Celestial City.

At the hidden center of man's being is the dwelling place of the triune God. It is such a private, intimate place that no one can intrude but Christ, and even he will enter only through an invitation of faith. Once the Spirit enters the core of the believer's heart and establishes residence there, man becomes a true child of God. But baptism, confirmation, receiving the sacraments, church membership, etc., mean nothing unless God has truly inhabited the soul.

Story
First published in 1525, Martin Luther's Bondage of the Will is acknowledged by theologians as one of the great masterpieces of the Reformation. It is Luther response to Desiderius Erasmus' Diatribe on Free Will, written in his direct and unique style, combining deep spirituality with humor. Luther writes powerfully about man's depravity and God's sovereignty. The crucial issue for Luther concerned what ability free will has, and to what degree it is subject to God's sovereignty.

"To him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." Spurgeon's masterpiece on grace from Romans 4:5 is an outstanding description of God's love and unmerited grace to us. It is one of the clearest examples of salvation by grace ever written. Spurgeon's masterpiece is one the finest expositions ever penned on faith, repentance, and regeneration.

A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below". At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S.

Little differentiates one day from the next. Then one morning the mail arrives, and within the stack is a letter addressed to Harold from a woman he hasn't seen or heard from in 20 years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice and is writing to say goodbye. Harold pens a quick reply and, leaving Maureen to her chores, heads to the corner mailbox. But then Harold has a chance encounter, one that convinces him that he absolutely must deliver his message to Queenie in person.

Wonderful Walkabout
- By FanB14 on 07-01-13
By: Rachel Joyce
Publisher's Summary
Often disguised as something that would help him, evil accompanies Christian on his journey to the Celestial City. As you walk with him, you'll begin to identify today's many religious pitfalls. These are presented by men such as Pliable, who turns back at the Slough of Despond; and Ignorance, who believes he's a true follower of Christ when he's really only trusting in himself. Each character represented in this allegory is intentionally and profoundly accurate in its depiction of what we see all around us, and unfortunately, what we too often see in ourselves. But while Christian is injured and nearly killed, he eventually prevails to the end. So can you.

Those who have hears, Let them hear!
Another author Charles Stanley recommended this book. Initially upon reading the reviews my zeal quickly diminished. I began to think, maybe, I should just wait til a scripture free version comes out. I was quickly convicted. How stupid? Reading a Christian book with no biblical reference. I love this book, with scriptures and all. It quickens your spirit to as your mind listens. I would not change it. You have missed the revelation of this book's message if the interjected scriptures are to much for you. May those who have ears to hear, Hear in your heart!

Glitchy
I do not wish to rate the story as such as it needs nothing from me and I could add nothing to its understanding after a few hundred years of comment.
I do not want my comments of the performance to be a reflection on Mr. Christensen. His portion was done quite well. Rather I have a couple technical complaints.
1) Often voices/effects would be heard out of place in the story. There was one 5-10 second chunk of silence near the end of Christian's story.
2) The voice effects for the villains was not bad but the sound level of the voice fell below the effect necessitating playing with the volume knob.
3) Always, always check to make sure music does not mask the narration.
4) This version includes the scripture references, which is great when you are reading (I got the matched kindle/audible set) but during an audio presentation it tends to disrupt the flow. I find this a common problem with Christian books. Listening, enjoying, learning, then an interruption for what are basically parenthetical comments. If I'm listening I'm generally not in a position to look up references, make note of them or do anything with them.

Annoying
Trying to follow the story line is useless! We have read other versions of Pilgrims Progress several times and never had to endure having every scripture reference quoted in full inserted as an interruption into the narrative. Sometimes more than once per sentence! The whole story is impossible to enjoy. I am removing it from my library, sorry I bought it.

Constant interruptions
What did you like best about Pilgrim's Progress? What did you like least?
I like the story... so far.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Mark Christensen?
No complaints
Was Pilgrim's Progress worth the listening time?
NO!
Any additional comments?
The problem with this book is that when there is a Scripture reference, It is read into the story. Although I am glad there are scripture references, there are A LOT of them and it interrupts the story. Very hard for me to listen to when there are so many interruptions. The story is constantly broken up.

Not the best version for an audio book
Pilgrims Progress is a wonderful book filled with allegories for the Christian journey. However, this particular version includes full scripture for said allegories. If a person was reading the book, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, because this is an audio book, the story is interrupted every few words to input scripture. For example (and I am just making up this quote) " Evangelist said 'You must flee" Scripture: (full scripture is read) 'Keep running and don't look back' Scripture (full scripture is read). The narrator always introduces the scripture by saying "Scripture". This happens about every sentence, sometimes occurring multiple times within a single sentence. This makes it impossible for the listener to follow the story, because there isn't enough uninterrupted dialog to focus on. My suggestion would be to read the book, or find another audible version that allows the story to flow.

Easy to underdtand but...
This is a modern English version of The Pilgrim`s Progress which I have been waiting to become available in audio. Unfortunately, in this audio edition the text of Scripture references are also read along the reading the text of the book. This is quite distracting and interrupts the narration of the story, especially so in the case when the Scripture being read is a bit long. Other than that this modern version is what I want to listen to as it is very clear and easy to understand.

Now Enjoyable
So unlike the version we were forced to read at school. This is an enjoyable story now and it is very easy to see the underlying nature of Bunyan's tale.
Make sure you give this to your children so that they understand the story before they meet it in English Literature lessons. They will appreciate your help and support.

I hardly need to write a review of a book so widely read outside the bible. The performance is good and thankfully easy to understand at 2.5 it's normal speed which I have started to listen to . I shall listen again to all of it at that speed. Bunyan had such a clear mind and grasp of theology it would take a lifetime to plunge into the depths of his biblene thought , all I can say is taste and see I got one am not disappointed.
