A DREAMER AND HIS WONDERFUL DREAM The Story of John Bunyan and The Pilgrim's Progress
by Alfred P. Gibbs
PREFACE
An attempt has been made in this volume to re-emphasize the sound scriptural teaching of "The Pilgrim's Progress" especially to young people, and this is the sole explanation of its existence.
Of its many imperfections none is more conscious than the author, but if it leads the reader to a more diligent study of this immortal allegory, and also of Bunyan's other works, especially "Grace Abounding" and "The Holy War," he will feel amply repaid.
The contents of this book appeared originally in a series of weekly articles in "Works of Love," a Sunday School magazine, and are now sent forth in this complete form with the earnest desire that the blessing of GOD may attend its reading, and that as a result, many may be led to receive the Lord JESUS CHRIST as their personal Saviour, and thus begin the pilgrim journey; and that those who are already treading the celestial highway, may be encouraged to go on for GOD and to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, to Whom be glory for ever and ever.
Chicago, Ill., 1930

SECOND EDITION
The kind reception given to the first edition has been an encouragement to issue this new edition which has been revised and printed in larger type.
May "the blessing of the Lord that maketh rich" be upon it, and use it to the glory of Him "that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood"!
Chicago, Ill., 1935

Alfred P. Gibbs was born in Birmingham, England in 1890 and was raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. He was led to a saving knowledge of Christ by his twin brother, Edwin. During World War I, Gibbs served as military chaplain, preaching to soldiers in training camps. In 1919 he set off for Moody Bible School in Chicago, Illinois. There he soon became involved in an assembly operated Rescue Mission. Gibbs worked alongside Harold Harper, T.B. Gilbert, James G. Humphrey, and other men destined to become well known in assembly circles of ministry. Gibbs became close friends with George Landis, who at that time pastored a small denominational church.
Alfred P. Gibbs never married. Like J. N. Darby, he lived out of a suit-case. Most of his writings were devoted to teaching young believers. He served part time for many years with, the then Emmaus Bible School. In1931 he published a songbook with music and words of his own composition. He also contributed several hymns to "Choice Hymns Of The Faith", and "Hymns of Worship and Remembrance." One of his most memorable hymns was "A Thousand Thousand Thanksgivings", and also "Sweet Is The Story."
Although an earnest preacher of the gospel, he was best known for his work with children. Gibbs was called home to glory through an automobile accident in 1967. Following the accident, an entire issue of Letters Of Interest was devoted to him. Reminiscences of him were written by several well known brethren including his brother Edwin, Bill McCartney, Elliot Van Ryn, T.B. Gilbert, Lester Wilson, William MacDonald, and Lloyd Walterick. A.P. Gibbs will be remembered as a great preacher of the gospel, and a loving friend to all children he met in his entire lifetime.
