In this work, Bunyan "introduces us to a majestic overflowing river, "The Water of Life," sufficient for the refreshment and solace of the myriads of God's saints who have lived from the creation, and will live until the final consummation of all things...This work was the result of the author's mature experience, being published by him during the last year of his eventful life...To attract his readers to come personally, and partake the blessings imparted by the water of life, Bunyan shows that, as a medicine, it alone is the specific to cure the sin-sick soul—all other applications must fail most fatally, 'all other remedies come from and return to the Dead Sea'—while the water of life issues from, and leads the soul to, the throne of God."
