Overview

Grace Abounding is the personal testimony of John Bunyan, the author of the Pilgrim's Progress. It describes his life before conversion, his attempts to reform himself through his own efforts, his conviction of sin, and his acceptance of the grace of God in Christ Jesus. John Bunyan goes on to describe how he was asked to become a preacher, how he was imprisoned, and his conclusions from his experiences. An afterword continues Bunyan's life from the point where his autobiography leaves off. John Bunyan was born in 1628 near the village of Elstow, Bedfordshire, England. As a young man in the 1640s, he served in the English Civil War. He then returned to the skilled crafts by which he earned his living. Converted during the 1650s, John Bunyan began to preach. His preaching brought him into conflict with English religious laws of the time, and he was imprisoned, finally being released in 1672 after King Charles II liberalized the laws. It was during his time in prison that he wrote many of his books. Bunyan subsequently pastored a church in Bedford, England, and served as chaplain to the Lord Mayor of London.
