天路历程读后感
怀着虔诚的心情,我读完了这则被誉为“英国文学中最著名的寓言”。这本名著是作者约翰本扬在狱中十二载心血凝成的杰作,其家喻户晓的程度仅次于圣经。本书讲述了一个坚韧的基督徒为寻求永生而踏上荆棘遍布的漫漫长旅,充满危险,诱惑与灾难的尘世被他一步步抛弃,只为负罪的灵魂在高天之上得到迎接。虽然这则故事在当今唯物主义观点看来早已过时甚至有点愚昧,但是其魅力也正在于此,书中奇特的想象,丰满的形象,以及时时刻刻透露出理想主义的热情,都让这本书超越了时代和信仰的限制,在历史的长河里熠熠生辉,至今仍光彩夺目。
书中的主人公天路客一开始便背着一个沉重的包袱,接受传道人的指引离开所居住的注定要灭亡的城市,去往锡安山上的永生之地,卸下身上的重担。但是这条路充满了危险,前方只有一抹光,那方向存在着他惟一的希望。人性的缺点,如固执、善变、伪善、虚荣…….这些都被作者想象成天路客在路途上碰到的路人,他们都在干扰着他前往正确的道路。正是在这过程中,他的信仰越来越坚定,人性的缺点被一一克服。他也遇到了两个朋友,信实与希望,他们陪伴着天路客,人性的光辉被完美呈现出来。
从古至今,人性的丑恶与缺点就从未消失过,它们时时刻刻存在于我们之中。天路客走的那段路,其实也可以看成我们每个人的人生之路,我们都会有这样那样的缺点,这些阻碍着我们到达想去的目的地,只有怀抱坚定的信仰,勇敢的克服这些缺点,我们才能获得最后的成功。或许在这路上你会孤独,会恐惧,但正如书中所说:“引到永生的门是小的,路是窄的,找到的人也少。”
这本名著的主题便是让人有坚定的信仰。人没有信仰,那么活着便如行尸走肉,没有信仰就不会有前行下去的动力。天路客信仰基督,在路上的危难时刻,他都会虔诚认真的祈祷,他相信主不会抛弃他,所以他也没有放弃,而是迸发出了强大的力量,信仰便是他力量勇气的源泉。克莱尔曾经说过:“人是为了某种信仰而活着”。在当今这个社会里,没有规定必须要信什么,但是每个人的心底都应该有属于自己的那份信仰,在我们困难的时候,它可以为我们提供巨大的心理帮助,甚至改变我们的人生。
书中的另一个令人称道的地方便是它教诲人们摒弃自己的缺点,不断完善自己的人格。这个时代的诱惑太多,因此走上弯路的人也很多,其中一个很重要的一个原因便是他们不会自我净化。走错路在所难免,但是很多人却一错到底。天路客发现自己偏离了正确方向后懊悔羞愧不已,可他并没有放弃,而是再次向主忏悔,并回到正确的道路上,到了最后,那些诱惑已经不能在让他分心了。这便是成长,便是得到了救赎与解脱。
看着天路客走完天路历程,我的心灵也跟着接受了一次神圣的洗礼,它引发了我太多感想,我的人生路,我会怀着坚定的信仰,无所畏惧的走下去,相信我会到达那最后的永生之地。

Pilgrimage in the Pilgrim’s Progress
-The power of faith
姓名: 班级:
The pilgrim's progress can be said to be a very famous and very influential book in the Christian literature and a lot of people have read it. Actually when I first read the pilgrim's progress I am not interested in it,even feel boring, and the result is I want to give up halfway. Why,because I don't have experience of the “Christian” in this book. He encountered many difficulties, but I have not experienced, so I am not interested in it when I readied it.
As time goes by I read it more and more, and I began to feel deeply the process of “Christian” struggling against difficulties. Then I find all sorts of experience of protagonist “Christian” is the mirror of most of ordinary people.
The difficulties he met,also is that we met. His failure was also that we had been through. And each time he regained faith, which also brought us a great joy and hope, because we also are the people who have pursuit and ideal.
From the knowledge level to see,The pilgrim's progress is the most vitality predictions. This work is to write a virtual world, but it is the reality of the world in essence. This can make us more aware of the complexity behind the real world.
This work mainly displayed that human losing himself needed redemption, and only can be saved through confessing their iniquity and believing God. All kinds of people "Christian" meet on the road are the people banyan met in any market, or any other streets in that era of Britain. This is the reason that novel have strong vitality.
Reading this book, what make me feel touched and shock is that Christian faithfully began his difficult lonely journey for the beliefs in his heart. All the way he went through "despair mire", "humiliation valley", "the valley of the shadow of death", "vanity fair", "doubt fort", and all the way he defended entanglement of "atheist", "ignorance", "Mr. Smart", "Mr. Apple", “Mr. Love money" and so on,and finally came to the kingdom of heaven to pay a formal visit god.
Did you ever have the experience like “Christian” being overcome by difficulties? Did you ever same to feel very sad, and even discouraged?
Let Christian’ s words remind us once again:
My enemies!
Do not rejoice over me,
when I fall, I will rise up,
I sit in darkness, and Jehovah will be a light unto me.
Although we are not Christian, we can get a lot of valuable spiritual wealth from the Christian. In order to the paradise of the heart, he insisted on their beliefs, had indomitable sprint,did not be afraid of all kinds of difficulties and hardships, and ultimately achieved himself ideal. In the process toward the pilgrim, the “Christian” experienced all kinds of hardships and temptation, but the power of the divine in his heart drove him constantly.
This is the power of faith. At each stage of the novel “Christian” has experienced many tests, frustrated. At the same time, he also got edification, friendship, understanding and joy. This is life's most precious wealth. Only unswerving firmly believe that their beliefs, oneself will have the possibility of success. Give up is not successful. In the fiction, "soft" wanted to follow the “Christian” went to the kingdom of heaven, but while he encountered difficulty he hesitated and turned back. "stubborn" is so sure for everything,and he adhered others to accept his point of view, even he think himself he did not need the help of others, also did not need any guidance. Succinct forthright language of "Christian" shows that he was a man of determination and perseverance.
Only such as “Christian”, it will be possible to achieve their ideal. But, no one else will meet with difficulties. For example, in the valley of the shadow of death the heart of “Christian” appeared straggliest and hesitation. “Christian” had not set out on a journey yet and he was laughed at the family and the neighbor's taunt.He met despair mire when he left not a long time. This kind of trouble continued until he reached the kingdom of heaven.
The way of going the kingdom of ideal heaven is not only bright and sunny, but also has the dark clouds. I think we can get some enlightenment from the book to solve problems we are facing today. "Christian" started the journey to the kingdom of heaven. We saw him on the way to heaven, and in every step he was faced with choice weather continue or not. It also makes us associate that we are always faced with the same choice like “Christian” in our current life journey.
The description is enough to tell everyone: faith is not a simple matter. Faith is not diversion,Even more is not a easy way of recreation In our time. everyone ,who has the ideal and faith,is the need to pay the price. A belief is not allowed to be satisfied with a smattering of knowledge. Beliefs demand people must devote your whole heart to the life of the whole to embrace that beautiful flame.
