Douglas Jones, Editorial Director of Canon Press, has recommended The Beauty of Modesty: Cultivating Virtue in the Face of a Vulgar Culture by David Vaughan and Diane Vaughan:

“When it comes to issues of modesty, a false dichotomy appears to have taken hold of most Christians. Either the biblical requirements of modesty are accepted, and nerdiness is layered on top of that, or the nerdiness “requirement” is rejected, and the responsibility for modesty is rejected along with it. In this important book, David and Diane Vaughan avoid both errors, and do a very fine job of showing us the teaching of Scripture on this issue. Their approach is not at all superficial—they are not urging us to depart from one sort of cultural captivity in order to take up residence in another kind of cultural captivity. A crucial part of their argument is to develop a biblical view of the body, and to have how we dress that body take its part in a well-formed biblical world and life view. It only stands to reason. This is a fine book and I recommend it highly.”
