The LORD JESUS CHRIST declares of the Holy Scriptures "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me...come to me, that ye might have life..." John 5:39
Robert Hawker was a faithful minister of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, as testifed by Charles Spurgeon, he said: "If I set the unloving to read a chapter in the Bible, they will find no Savior there. But if I ask the gracious Robert Hawker to read that same portion of Scripture, he finds in it the name of Jesus from beginning to end! If I beg one who is simply a critical scholar, to study a Psalm, he sees no Messiah there—but if I set an enthusiastic lover of the Savior to read it, he sees Him, if not in every verse, still, here and there he has glimpses of His Glory!”—1901, Sermon No. 2733

* When it appeared to the publisher of this ebook that a word was not commonly used in the modern lexicon [speech] of English, a suitable alternative word or phrase was included in square brackets to assist the readers comprehension [understanding].
To which is added, Zion’s Pilgrim, from the age of Seventy & Zion’s Pilgrim Past Seventy written a short time before Robert Hawkers death.
“They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying. Come let us join ourselves to the Lord in a
perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.” Jeremiah 50:5
“And confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.” Hebrews 11:13
Robert Hawker wrote "They who condescend to read the 'Zion's Pilgrim,' will kindly remember the early date of its first publication; and if comparing it with my later labours, will find cause I hope therefrom, with me, to bless God who giveth the increase of divine knowledge. In every instance of the Lord's people, the testimony of his holy word is proved: “the path of the just is as a shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

At his death in 1827 Hawker had been curate for six years and forty-three years its minister. It is said that the whole town mourned for him.
"What a great comfort to read!... If you've read Pilgrim's Progress...you need to read Zion's Pilgrim; which is not an alegory, but an account of pivotal events and moments in the life of a follower of Christ."
