Fifty-five years ago, Helen L. Taylor took John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and simplified the vocabulary and concepts for young readers while keeping the storyline intact. The result was a classic in itself, which has now sold over 600,000 copies. It's both a simple adventure story and a profound allegory of the Christian journey through life, a delightful read with a message kids ages 6 to 12 can understand and remember. A new look and fresh illustrations for today's children enlivens the journey to the Celestial City.

"This text follows the premise that the central theme of history is to build the kingdom of God and that all of history is Gods. It begins with the creation story and the Fall of Adam. It then uses the Bible as the foundation to how mankind and nations spread throughout the world. Finally it looks at His church and how it developed, the Reformation, and the founding and growth of the United States" --

History for Little Pilgrims Teacher's Manual In History of Little Pilgrims, we have sought to show God's providence working throughout history from its earliest days until the present. We have built this course upon the foundation of God's revelation about early human history, bringing the bible to bear on the subject matter. The teacher's manual for History of Little Pilgrims seeks to enhance this study of the world and American history. Additional information and lesson ideas are provided, so teachers should use these to expand the instruction of this course beyond the textbook.

The Adventure Guide is designed to help parents, teachers, and students discover and analyze biblical themes and literature concepts while reading Little Pilgrim's Progress. Partnering with the Adventure Guide will make reading this incredible allegory an unforgettable event for your child or student. The guide breaks the novel down into 2 parts, Christian's journey and Christiana's journey. Each journey is separated into four reading sections. These reading sections include vocabulary, questions, allegorical interpretations, literature elements, Bible application, character charts, and character matching. A Parent/Teacher Helps section is also included, offering detailed suggestions regarding story charts, a mapping bulletin board that can also be used as a game, and several art and literature extensions. Oftentimes literature activities become busy work that detracts from the story. But the Adventure Guide activities and story extensions are meaningful and encourage further examination of story characters, themes, and symbolism. A brief biography of John Bunyan is also included to aide in discussion about the original classic, Pilgrim's Progress.
