About this book

John Bunyan's account of his own conversion — the years of terror, doubt and half-heard verses that ran before The Pilgrim's Progress. Unsparing about despair, and one of the first books in English to describe an ordinary man's inner life from the inside.

1. In this my relation of the merciful working of God upon my soul, it will not be amiss, if, in the first place, I do, in a few words, give you a hint of my pedigree, and manner of bringing up; that thereby the goodness and bounty of God towards me, may be the more advanced and magnified before the sons of men.
