Summary
This is an extended sermon by Bunyan on family values.
Evaluation by David Cox
In general, this is an older Anglican (Calvinist-Protestant) author, which is a really good sermon in this occasion. Some people might have a few problems following Bunyan, but I would doubt the age of this work would in any way affect the spiritual teaching.
I would recommend this work.

pc06 Suicide or something worse? We look at the causes of depression leading into suicide, and help from God and the Bible.
Excerpts: In Mark 5.2-5 there is a demon possessed person who day and night “cut himself with rocks.” In Matthew 17:15 we also see another demon working which seeks to force the person to commit suicide. The desire to harm yourself is a force of darkness, not from God. But the solution then is only found in God, in His love for you, and in His salvation. We should cast our cares upon Him, “for he careth for you” (1 Peter 5:7). By building a strong relationship with God we can get out of our problems. God will also give us strength and endurance through our problems. The only place of true happiness and joy is when one is in the will of God.
