Flicking through The
Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan the other day, I was reminded of how he introduces
us to the Delectable Mountains. These are havens of rest for pilgrims en route to
the Celestial City. From House Beautiful, the pilgrims are shown “a most
pleasant Mountainous Country, beautified with Woods, Vineyards, Fruits of all
sorts; Flowers also, with Springs and Fountains, very delectable to
behold."
