Also, instead of using the antiquated term “stages” to separate book sections, you will find chapter headings and subdivisions. Does this book include Part 1 and Part 2? This book only includes Part 1 of The Pilgrim’s Progress which chronicles the journey of Christian to the Celestial City. Part 2 chronicles the journey of his wife and children and is not included in this book. What age group is the book for?
