Kdysi dávno žil ve Městě zkázy muž jménem Křesťan se svou ženou a čtyřmi dětmi. Nebyl moc bohatý, ale tvrdě pracoval a vydělával dost peněz, aby své rodině mohl zajistit dostatek jídla i oblečení. Měl malý dřevěný domek a spoustu přátel a sousedů, se kterými si rád povídal. Dlouhou dobu byl opravdu šťastný. Jednoho dne však našel knihu. Vyslala ho na nebezpečnou a dobrodružnou cestu – jenže zároveň mu tím zachránila život. Musel sice opustit svou ženu a děti, ale cestou potkal nové přátele i společníky (a také nepřátele). Aby přežil, musí se mít na pozoru: útoky přicházejí ze všech stran – a někdy nečekaně. Dorazí bezpečně až do cíle? Dojde až do Nebeského města? Zvládne bažinu Malomyslnosti, poradí si s obrem Beznadějem a překoná pahorek Obtížnosti? Poutníkova cesta pro děti nabízí moderní převyprávění tohoto známého klasického díla Johna Bunyana. Navíc obsahuje užitečné vysvětlení jmen postav a míst, která Křesťan a jeho společníci postupně navštíví, a Bunyanovo uvažování o nich. „Bunyanova Poutníkova cesta a překlad Bible.
