Progress Through Traffic: A Modern Allegory

In an age of endless screens, automated systems, and digital distraction, one man dares to walk the narrow way.Chris Burden is a working husband and father living in modern America, weighed down by debt, noise, and the quiet fear that real faith is slipping away. When he becomes convinced that comfort is costing him something eternal, Chris leaves the City of Distraction and begins a dangerous pilgrimage toward the Celestial City.Along the road, he encounters modern trials with ancient roots: doom-scrolling despair, false voices that sound sincere but lead nowhere, certainty offered without obedience, and a final crossing that cannot be walked-only trusted.Written as a reverent, gripping modern allegory, Progress Through Traffic stands as a twenty-first-century companion to The Pilgrim's Progress. It blends vivid storytelling with rigorous biblical faith, reminding readers that grace is costly, truth is sharp, and the road is still narrow.This novel is written for Christian families, serious believers, and anyone seeking to walk faithfully through a distracted world.
