The stirring story of Mary Bunyan. An outstanding gift book for that eager reader in the family, with a beautiful new cover.
The home life of Mary, blind daughter of John Bunyan, was filled with trials, but her devotion to her father was unswayed. Mary visited him in prison to meet any needs of his that she could, and labored for his freedom. A convicting and challenging story of faith standing firm despite massive opposition from men.
As Bunyan languished in prison for preaching as a Baptist pastor in England during the 17th century, this historical fiction account is told from the vantage point of his blind daughter, Mary, his first-born child and constant joy.
Mary was his constant companion on every occasion when the authorities would permit her to visit her father at the prison, and his persistent petitioner for mercy and release before King Charles. This stirring account of how a young girl’s faith in God grew, rather than diminished, during times of persecution, is an inspiring and beautiful example for all believers today.
