Grace Abounding by John Bunyan
Grace Abounding is a spiritual autobiography of John Bunyan. It was written during the first years of his 12-year imprisonment for Nonconformist religious activities and published in 1666. His description of the inner life of the Christian is rich in powerful physical imagery. The biography of oneself is narrated by oneself. Autobiographical works can take many forms, from intimate writings made during life that were not necessarily intended for publication to a formal book-length autobiography. Formal autobiographies offer a special kind of biographical truth. A life, reshaped by recollection, with all of recollection’s conscious and unconscious omissions and distortions. The novelist Graham Greene said that an autobiography is only “a sort of life” and used the phrase as the title for his own autobiography (1971).
