Written while Bunyan was serving a lengthy prison sentence for preaching without a license, \u003ci\u003eGrace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners\u003c\/i\u003e is both a record of Bunyan's personal experience, the story of his conversion, and a document of a time of historical and political crisis in England. The restoration of King Charles II to the throne in 1660--which followed years of sectarian violence and the 1649 execution of his father Charles I--initiated a period of religious and political repression. Nonconformist Christians, and preachers especially, were forbidden from practicing their faith, a crime for which Bunyan was arrested. He was tried and convicted in 1661, spending the next twelve years in Bedford County Gaol.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGrace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners\u003c\/i\u003e, written and published during this period, is the story of Bunyan's life, focusing on his conversion to Puritanism and his personal trials as a man punished for his beliefs. Containing numerous biblical references, Bunyan's work is similar to Saint Augustine's \u003ci\u003eConfessions\u003c\/i\u003e in its compositional structure--beginning with the author's sinful youth, it moves through his process of conversion to his growth as a Christian and rise to the status of preacher. Where it differs, however, is in its detailed description of Bunyan's arrest and imprisonment, a time he relied on his belief in God to carry him safely through.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile less popular than \u003ci\u003eThe Pilgrim's Progress\u003c\/i\u003e, a Christian allegory Bunyan began writing in jail, \u003ci\u003eGrace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners\u003c\/i\u003e is an important and powerful work which has inspired generations of Christians, including John Brown and Martin Luther King Jr.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of John Bunyan's \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGrace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11882199\"\u003eJohn Bunyan\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mint Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781513268736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1513268732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO018000\"\u003eReligious\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO007000\"\u003eLiterary Figures\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003ePersonal Memoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mint Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51141455118623,"sku":"9781513268736","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/6953\/0143\/files\/img_f7ac1e1b-7d2b-43e5-bac3-4e65894e6ec3.jpg?v=1755673299","url":"https:\/\/www.mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/grace-abounding-to-the-chief-of-sinners-9781513268736","provider":"MOCorrectionsbookstore.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
