A Ticket to Zion is a journey through life by train inspired by John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress and C. S. Lewis’s Narnia adventures. Each twist and turn in life is represented as an aspect of a journey by train; the excitement of hearing the first steam train, the joy of being given a free ticket, the horror of seeing so many catch the wrong train, and then finally crossing the valley of the shadow of death.
As you read A Ticket to Zion you will be transported into a mysterious world of adventure with Ian, our pilgrim, and his colorful friends who try to help him along the way. You will also be challenged by their enemies who tempt them to give up their precious tickets and leave the train.
You will understand how to collect your free ticket, see why life’s journey is so hard, and discover where your journey ends. Ian hopes that his journey’s end will be a celestial city (Zion), but will he endure to the end? How many of those he meets along the way will complete the journey? How many will end up in the depot or on the wrong train?
Over de auteur
Chris Brown was Rail Research and Innovation Manager at the Department for Transport in Westminster, London England for nine years. He was inspired to write A Ticket to Zion when reading John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress on the train to work. He realized he could write an allegorical novel about a rail journey drawing on his experience in the rail sector. Inspiration often came just as he was passing Big Ben on his way to the office!
