followsChristian as he leaves his home in the City of Destruction and
begins a long journey to the Celestial City. His adventure is full of

Ignorance. Traveling through places such as Vanity Fair and the Valley
of the Shadow of Death, he reaches his heavenly home but learns rich
lessons during the journey. The story has immediate application to
everyday life.
Later on, Christian's wife, Christiana, decides to join her husband in
the Celestial City. As she travels, Christiana comes upon a different
set of people, such as Greatheart, Mercy, and Honesty. Her story
illustrates how Christians follow different paths but with the same
destination: eternity with Jesus.
