Priestland's Progress

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A plain man's guide to the Christian faith in 13 parts
13: Mr Ready-to -Halt's Crutches
Like Bunyan's pilgrim, Gerald Priestland reaches his journey's end, looks back over his pilgrimage and makes his decision. Everyone remembers the stirring words of Mr Valiant-for -Truth. The BBC's Religious Affairs
Correspondent identifies himself with the less heroic figure of the stumbling Mr Ready-to -Halt: ' Now I shall have no more need of these crutches, since yonder are chariots and horses for me to ride on.' The last words he was heard to say were: ' Welcome life! '
Music arranged by BARRY ROSE
