Pilgrim’s Progress: Audio Drama





Reimagining John Bunyan’s allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress, Spirit Blade Productions explores this classic tale in a fantasy setting filled with magic, danger, dragons and swords.
Pilgrim’s Progress: Similitude of a Dream faithfully follows Bunyan’s work, but makes the story more accessible to modern listeners. Far from a mere audiobook, Similitude boasts a complete cast, with a fully composed score and stunning special effects that brings the story into vivid reality.

Without compromising the message of the story, Spirit Blade Productions has transformed the difficult-to-read allegory, into a symbolic story that resounds with readers today. As an added bonus, the audio drama comes bundled with the an audiobook of the parallel text from Bunyan’s actual work! (And this audiobook has its own unique soundtrack and sound effects for enhanced listening.) The end result of all this is a super-accessible Pilgrim’s Progress.

Go listen to the trailer here.

Or go purchase the first chapter of the drama ($5!) here (over 90 minutes of content).

I can’t recommend this enough!

Valencia Hills: Using Jesus as Bait

I posted an article (and a link to a song) over at my church blog.

I'm drowning . . .

I know this blog is new . . . and for the most part just an update page for NathanJamesNorman.com, but I'm drowning right now.

Kristin and I are buying a home (which will then need a boatload of work)! Seminary work continues to be rather demanding (especially Hebrew class). I'm trying to steer the youth ministry in a new direction (developing teen-leaders, and adult leaders along the way). I just started up the college group. And a few other things are going on now that will have to be revealed at another time.

I'm drowning!

So . . . I'm sorry The Shade hasn't been updated. I really do have some awesome things down the road . . . and I'm certainly not abandoning it. Until I can return, you can always catch yourself up on my rantings over at my church blog.

Adios for now!
