Screwtape Letters - Movie 2008

Walden Media plans to produce a movie adaptation of the C.S. Lewis novel The Screwtape Letters with Ralph Winter Productions.
The film, the company's second Lewis effort, following The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, grossed $744 million worldwide, Variety.com reported. The sequel to that movie, Prince Caspian, is due out next year. Winter is the producer of The X-Men and The Fantastic Four.
"The Screwtape Letters will be a live-action movie, embodying Christian themes, Variety.com reported. First published in 1942, The Screwtape Letters features correspondence between senior demon Screwtape and his wannabe diabolical nephew Wormwood. As a mentor, Screwtape advises his protégé on how to undermine the faith and promote sin to an earthly man known only as “the Patient.”"
The Screwtape Letters will be produced via Walden's Bristol Bay Productions, which produced Amazing Grace, due to open in theaters nationwide this weekend.

Phil Keaggy on "Dream Again"

Great news for Phil Keaggy fans with the soon to be released "Dream Again".

Phil said "The album to me is an album that I feel makes a real statement that something can be home spun, in a modest studio, but still come out sounding really good. It was mastered by Richard Dodd, and I’m very grateful for his expertise in making the album even sonically stand higher and sound better than I originally thought it could be.
I think it’s an album that states what’s important, what’s on my mind here and now in my life. I feel that the album was inspired by people in my life, who are near and dear to me. It features a song for my wife, Bernadette, there’s a song that features my daughter Alicia, two songs that feature my son Ian, and a song I dedicate to my daughter Olivia. It’s a relationship album – about our relationship with God and with those who are near in our lives."

You can pick up the album at the Keaggy web site that is linked on the side bar. O Happy Day!
