From the editor-in-chief and managing editor of the Babylon Bee! A
millennial seeker travels through a twenty-first century take on The
Pilgrim's Progress with allegorical versions of all our modern vices
tempting him along the way--as well as a few timeless personified
virtues that just might see him through. Biting satire and uncommon
wisdom from the creators of the internet's most influential comedy site,
and an author of national bestsellerThe Babylon Bee Guide to
Wokeness!
Ryan Fleming is a young agnostic reeling from his brother's death.
Though he is deeply angry with God, he makes good on a promise he made
to his brother in the final moments of his life: to visit a church at
least once. But shortly after his arrival, the slick megachurch's
shoddily installed video projector falls on his head--sending Ryan
through a wormhole into another world.
After a narrow escape from the City of Destruction, where the
comfortably numb townspeople are oblivious to the fire and brimstone
falling like bombs in their midst and destroying their homes, Ryan finds
himself on a quest: To make it back to his own universe, he must partner
with a woman named Faith to awaken a long-sleeping King--the World-Maker
who can make all things new.
Replete with characters ripped straight from the twenty-first century
American church--including Radical, Mr. Satan, the Smiling Preacher, and
others--this sometimes-humorous, always-insightful trek parallels
Christian's fictional journey in Pilgrim's Progress. Prepare to laugh,
cry, cringe, feel convicted, and ultimately be changed by the time the
story ends.
The Postmodern Pilgrim's Progress is brought to you by Kyle Mann and
Joel Berry, the two comedic minds behind The Babylon Bee--which, with
250,000 newsletter subscribers and more than fifteen million page views
per month, is the most popular satirical news site on the planet.
