History is replete with famous works written in prison, such as John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, which became one of the most widely published books in Christian literature. John Bunyan was born outside Bedford, England, in November 1628. His family had modest economic habits, and Bunyan's education was slow and illegal. He was working as a travel repairer, but when the war of the English army began, Bunyan joined the troops. Despite the war, he experienced grief at first, as his mother and sister died one month apart.
