Barker. Bunyan wrote extensively on topical theological and practical matters, issues that faced the church in his time, which face us still. The Intercession of Christ is one of these works. In it Bunyan traces the nature of Jesus' intercession, who it should affect, the benefits it gives us and how effective that intercession is. Bunyan is also keen to show the interferences of the doctrine on such subjects as backsliding, how Christ's intervention is affected when we continue to sin, and there sins of God's people worse than the sins of others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christian Heritage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46011955970269,"sku":"9781845505448","price":69.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/4995\/6829\/files\/9781845505448.jpg?v=1741044042"},{"product_id":"grace-abounding","title":"Grace Abounding","description":"\u003cp\u003ewho was Bunyan, and what was it that provided him with the stimulus and inspiration to write that most revered and well-loved of allegories?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe answer can, in part, be found in Grace Abounding, for it is here that we are given a glimpse into Bunyan's own spiritual experience.

It was first titled 'The Saints' Knowledge of Christ s Love' and is worthy of being ranked alongside Sibbes and deals with a much neglected subject area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFROM THE FOREWORD: This is a new edition of John Bunyan's treatise on Ephesians 3:17b-19 which he himself prepared for the press. It is taken from the second volume of Bunyan's works (George Offor edition) which was re-published by Banner of Truth in 1991. The text remains largely unaltered but slight adjustments have been made in order to accommodate the arrangement of the material into chapters. Even these divisions, however, correspond to Bunyan s own layout of his material. A detailed breakdown of the structure of Bunyan's meditation on the greatness of the love of Christ is found at the end of this book by way of an appendix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subject matter of this work which was first preached, is greatly needed today. On the one hand, experiences of the Spirit are being claimed from which the glory of the redeemer and the wonder of his love are quite absent, while on the other, an almost total attention to the understanding and practising of scripture truth is having the effect of marginalising the experiential element in true, spiritual knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBunyan's description of Christ s love to believers and how they ought to know it, cuts in both the above-mentioned directions. From some 440 Bible references he shows how knowing Christ s love is the message of Scripture and also the essence of heaven, partly possessed and expressed on earth. Those who know it are rich beyond measure and they are the people who 'sweeten the churches and bring glory to God and to religion'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banner of Truth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46016291143901,"sku":"9780851517391","price":60.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/4995\/6829\/files\/9780851517391.jpg?v=1741041937"},{"product_id":"the-jerusalem-sinner-saved-puritan-paperbacks","title":"The Jerusalem Sinner Saved (Puritan Paperbacks)","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Bunyan confessed himself to have been one of the worst sinners to have ever walked God's earth.

In clear and simple terms he defines what it means to pray with the spirit and with the understanding, deals with difficulties in prayer, and shows how 'the Christian can open his heart to God as a friend.' In The Throne of Grace, Bunyan explains how to approach God's throne in prayer, and gives a rich, practical exposition of the blessings God's people receive from the high priestly ministry of Jesus Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banner of Truth Trust","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47907447570653,"sku":"9781800402706","price":90.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/4995\/6829\/files\/9781800402706.webp?v=1778516155"},{"product_id":"come-and-welcome-to-jesus-christ-puritan-paperbacks-1","title":"Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ (Puritan Paperbacks)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOf all John Bunyan's writings, Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ most fully expresses his delight and joy in the free and gracious welcome given to sinners by Jesus Christ. It is a thorough exposition of John 6:37: All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Bunyan not only explains the meaning of the terms used in the text, but also labours to remove the doubts and difficulties of sinners and backsliders in their approach to Christ. This work could be said to have given rise indirectly to the modern missionary movement, since it strongly influenced Andrew Fuller, the first secretary of the pioneering Baptist Missionary Society, and helped him to set his denomination free from the grip of hyper-Calvinism. It is a Christian classic that deserves a wide modern readership.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banner of Truth Trust","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47907473752285,"sku":"9781800404618","price":90.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/4995\/6829\/files\/9781800404625-416x624.jpg?v=1778518437"},{"product_id":"the-celestial-railroad-classic-reprint","title":"The Celestial Railroad (Classic Reprint)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is a satirical journey through the world of religion and spirituality. The author, writing in the mid-19th century, uses the framework of John Bunyan's classic allegory, *Pilgrim's Progress*, to explore the changing landscape of religious belief in his own time. In his reimagining, the arduous journey of the pilgrim is transformed into a swift and comfortable railway trip to the Celestial City. The author uses biting humor to highlight the hypocrisies and superficiality of a society where religion has become a fashionable trend rather than a deeply personal commitment. He exposes the dangers of substituting genuine introspection and spiritual struggle with superficiality and the allure of worldly comforts. The book's central argument lies in its suggestion that a reliance on easy, manufactured solutions to life's challenges, both spiritual and secular, will ultimately fail to lead to genuine spiritual fulfillment. By contrasting the old, heartfelt journey of Bunyan's pilgrim with the streamlined, yet ultimately hollow, journey of the railroad traveler, the author compels readers to question the true meaning of faith and the nature of their own spiritual paths.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Truth for Eternity Ministries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47963005714653,"sku":"9781331866275","price":20.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/4995\/6829\/files\/WhatsAppImage2026-05-26at11.19.33.jpg?v=1779787198"}],"url":"https:\/\/thebookroom.bischopsford.co.za\/collections\/john-bunyan.oembed","provider":"Book Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
