CREATIVE ADAPTATION

 


CREATIVE ADAPTATION

When a group from Fourth Baptist Church went to Spain recently to work with Missionary Seth Grotzke, one of the tools they used was an adaptation of John Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress.” Seth adapted the story as a means of sharing Christ with those who are pilgrims themselves, walking the Camino Santiago. The book includes a shorter version of the original story along with questions which can initiate discussions with others sharing the pilgrimage.

This adaptation of “Pilgrim’s Progress” can be downloaded to your Kindle from Amazon for just $.99. Or you can purchase the paperback. Because it is a shorter version of the classic, it would be ideal for reading to younger children. Discussing the questions with teens or even pre-teens would provide parents with many opportunities for interaction with their own children. And the book makes an excellent tool to share with others, opening doors for evangelism.

My suggestion would be to go to Amazon right now and download the book. You will enjoy reading or perhaps re-reading the familiar story. At the same time, it will enable you to share the journey of Pilgrim with those who have never experienced the joy of following the steps he takes on his trip to the Celestial City.

The complete title is “Pilgrim’s Progress for Today’s Pilgrim (Camino De Santiago)” by Seth Grotzke and John Bunyan.

CREATIVE FAMILY GROWTH

And baby makes eight!   You may remember the story from an earlier blog post: our niece Kim and her husband began adoption proceedings and quickly grew to a family of seven. Five siblings came to them from various states where they had been in foster care. Kim and Kevin welcomed them into a loving home, choosing to keep the brothers and sister together as a family unit.   In addition to taking on the sudden responsibility of a large family, Kim found herself needing surgery for a goiter which was severely impacting her oxygen intake. Then they received word that another sibling would be born in April of 2024. Their hearts longed to add the new boy to their expanding family, but health, finances, and the lack of more room in their SUV seemed to say no.   After the surgery, Kim found out she could breathe again, and the outlook began to change.  It was time to make room for eight. When the already-loved baby arrived, Kim went to the hospital while Kevin dro...
