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

Love the message the story tells, easy read!
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
This book tells a perfect little story teaching little ones to be thankful. I love how it only tells a story about being thankful and kind, but it also is teaching them numbers through repetition. Each page shows a number and also has the word of the number to read. In such a short read, little ones can learn a lot. Because it’s short and sweet, it keeps their attention and the illustrations are cute and fun for toddlers to follow along with. This makes for a perfect gift for a new little one or a great addition to a current toddler library! In our family, we also love that it’s a board book Because it holds up longer with a family of three little ages 1, 2.5 and 4. Everyone enjoys it and it’s a family favorite!

Just the sweetest book ever
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
This is such a great read along for a 2-4 year old. I love the message of being thankful, it includes number counting, animals, and lots of cute graphics that kids love. Such a great read. Also being a board book it’s more sturdy than a standard book and I can let my toddler turn through the pages on his own without the fear of it ripping. Sturdy, attention catching, and a great teaching message makes it a wonderful read for kids.
