John Bunyan, a tinker turned preacher, finds himself caught between the law and preaching God's word. In 1660 England, preaching outside of the church is illegal, yet Bunyan cannot resist abiding by God's will. He would rather follow his calling and suffer the consequences than cower in fear as a free man. Once in prison, his ministry continues in a new way. The man with little education and much personal grief uncovers a distinct talent for writing. After completing several nonfiction books, John begins the most important work of his life. The Pilgrim’s Progress follows the struggle of a Christian pilgrim to stay true to his beliefs, avoid temptations, and remain on the narrow path to reach heaven. No matter what his circumstances, this torchlighter followed God to the fullest. Like the main character in his book, Bunyan used all his gifts and resources to press on through thick and thin. His message still rings true today through this episode of Torchlighters.
