The Author, L. Edward Hazelbaker, has translated three of the most widely read Christian books of all time outside of the Bible from their original seventeenth-century texts into modern English: John Bunyan's classics, "The Pilgrim's Progress in Modern English" (hailed as "The greatest allegory ever written," 1678); "The Holy War" (Bunyan's second most popular book,1682); and "Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners" (Bunyan's autobiography,1666).
