Digging Deeper (into The Pilgrim's Progress)

Raising children, especially in today's societal climate, can be a daunting task. During Kids' Quest this summer, our 1st - 4th graders have been following Christian's dangerous journey to the Celestial City in The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan. Has your child shared what they have learned about the Slough of Despond, Apollyon, Pliable, Worldly Wiseman, Hope and Christian? If you are not sure what they are talking about or you would like to dig deeper with them here are some related books.

• Little Pilgrim's Progress
• Dangerous Journey (book or video)
• Pilgrim's Progress - Today's English version

Additional resources for helping to raise children committed to following the Lord's ways include:
