If you loved Pilgrim’s Progress, you need to discover what inspired it. Labyrinth of the World is the original pilgrim allegory. Penned 400 years ago, today it is virtually unknown in English. The author lived and ministered most of his life in exile after losing his entire family to the Plague. Both in life and allegory John Amos Comenius illustrates the teachings of Christ and Paul – the kingdom of God amongst the kingdoms of men – in ways religious institutionalism has seemingly all but forgotten. No other allegory in literary history depicts what Comenius gives us in this tale.Publisher: Ekklesia Press

______________
John Amos Comenius was a Moravian philosopher, pedagogue and theologian who is considered the father of modern education. He served as the last bishop of the Unity of the Brethren before becoming a religious refugee and one of the earliest champions of universal education, a concept eventually set forth in his book Didactica Magna. As an educator and theologian, he led schools and advised governments across Protestant Europe through the middle of the seventeenth century.

‘It is not uncommon for a play or a movie or even a book to be found as a favorite in countries other than the United States only to find their final and largest audience eventually comes from readers in America. "The Labyrinth of the World" is such a book. It has been translated to English prior to Tim Price's effort but not with the labor of love that Tim has put into his work. Tim did most of his initial research and writing on this book prior to his illness and I think that was helpful for him. However, his efforts and the scrutiny that his initial team of editors and readers put into this 233 page book is beyond any project that I have seen in a long time. The book has Tim's heart and expertise in translating the original work written on every page. If you loved Pilgrim's Progress, you will love this genre of Christian writing that was a favorite for European Christian writers simply because of the control enforced on all Biblical literature outside of the Catholic Church. Writings such as" The Labyrinth" were accepted more favorably perhaps because few really understood the use of an allegory in the spread of the gospel in the 18th century. Notwithstanding, it must have been a slow and agonizing process to find acceptance of reformation teaching and books such as the Labyrinth. If you loved allegorical books as a kid or a young adult, you will love Tim's book as I do and I am happy to say that Mr. Ubiquitous shared the truth with me and now it's my turn to tell you to buy the book and never look back!’ Bob Proffitt

Addictive and Fun!
Format: Kindle
This book was so addictive! I started it and finished in the same day because I didn’t want to stop reading.
This was giving Pretty Little Liars vibes but all the best parts of that show and not the eye rolling parts 😜
I genuinely think it’s worth the high praise it’s been getting. One of the ways I know I am really loving a thriller type book is when I’m having so much fun while reading it that I’m not trying to figure out how it will end. This was that for me. The pace was perfect and everyone was so interesting that I was just along for the ride. I really enjoyed the ending as well.
This was a great read.
I honestly loved it.
🎧
The audiobook was very good as well. The narrators gave each person a distinct difference so you could always tell who was talking during the dialogue scenes. I loved the audio and highly recommend it!

Mysterious

Young adult usually isn't what I like to read. This book was very well done though. It was interesting to watch and learn the secrets of all the different characters. The book starts and ends with a bang. Very well done. I really enjoyed this story

Engaging story with beautiful art
Of all the Manga Classics artists, SunNeko Lee is by far my favorite. Her work perfectly accompanies Hawthorne's words, which have been expertly adapted to Manga by Crystal Chan. As an added bonus, there are a couple well timed moments of levity/humor in the artwork to go along with this otherwise somber story. I finished this book in three days because I couldn't put it down - an adaptation worth viewing for manga and novel enthusiasts alike.
