Bunyan wants us to be able run the race of the Christian life and finish the course so that we might all meet in Heaven. As he states in this book:- 'Farewell, I wish our souls may meet with comfort at the journey's end.'
Based on the text 'so run that ye may obtain' (1 Cor 9v24), Bunyan's terse and racy style gives us vital guidance on how to complete the journey. This is regarded as one of the classic texts to have come from the Puritan era on Christian living. Bunyan is well known for his perceptiveness in describing human motivation and thought processes with discernment as he gives us the 'description of the man who gets to heaven.'
John Bunyan (1628-1688) was born the son of a metalworker near Bedford, England. He went on to become a famous preacher and writer and during his life penned over 2 million words, his most famous work being 'The Pilgrim’s Progress'.

"...the message came through clearly, allowing me the chance to see Bunyan’s allegorical footman running the race resulting in the gates of Heaven being opened to him. Bunyan’s concern was salvation, seeing the reader saved and in heaven rather than eternal separation. The Heavenly Footman is one of the classics of Christianity and I am pleased to see it being published and put into the hands of the readers once again allowing a new generation the chance to learn from the wisdom of famed puritan preacher John Bunyan."Tricia Bleu, Teens 4 Jesus library website
