Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
Give Me An Answer Highschool Conference: I'm looking forward to joining Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Shane & Shane and hip-hop artist Flame at the SBTS conference for highschool students next spring. Details.
Stephen Altrogge Reviews Dug Down Deep: Over at the Blazing Center blog they've posted a very generous review of the book. Read it.

Very interesting. I don't think it would pass for a really devout Muslim though... It shows the evil shape of a woman still. I hope you're not implying that there is any similarity between Christian modesty and the Muslim idea of it. An interesting look at how women are viewed in pure Islam can be found online at The Voice of the Martyrs bookstore (www.vombooks.com).

Julie,
I only posted this because I found it fascinating. I realize there's a great difference between biblical teaching on modesty and muslim teaching. Thanks for the link. I'm grateful for VOM and their work.
