I also watched it on dvd and came back with this to say:

I think the movie was made by Mormons. The god presence was so thick throughout the film I could just see it being shown in every Sunday school class in the country.Not say this is bad, but watching it made me wonder if it was funded by some religious organization.


The woman only seemed to wake up and learn to forgive him after she found out that her husband spent a huge load of money for her. That's a red flag......with sparklers. Not to say it sends the message woman will forgive for the right price.

Computers are only good for porn, nothing else.

His father came across to me like someone on Prozac. eerily calm, always godly, if someone punched him he would shake their hand.......
If you had viewed the features and other portions of the DVD or read the credits for the film you would know that it had been produced by members of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, GA.

Early in the story Catherine made two decisions:
1) To divorce Caleb
2) To carry on a relationship with Dr. Keller behind Caleb's back.

Everything Catherine did after making these decisions was based on them. When she first thought Dr. Keller had paid for the the bed and W/C for her mom she became even more "committed" to him. It was only by the grace of God she didn't have an afair with him~!

To understand the story one needs to read The Love Dare; some parts several times. Read Day 20, Day 23 and Day 28.

If you want to see something actually produced by Mormons check out the movie Johnny Lingo which they made in 1969. Dean Kliewer showed it to his "Marriage and Family" class back in 1972. I recently watched it again on a U-Tube broadcast.

Last weekend, I went to see the movie "Fireproof". Kirk Cameron, the teenage star of "Growing Pains", has been starring in a number of Christian movies including the Left Behind series. In this movie, Kirk plays the role as a fire chief - having great success at work, but has problems with his marriage of seven years with his wife at home. I don't want to give the story away, but as usual, Kirk did an outstanding job in performing his role as a fire chief-husband. The movie is produced by Sherwood Pictures - the same organization who made "Facing The Giants". The movie has a nice mix of comedy and serious messages about how vitial it is for a husband and wife to do things to love, honor, and respect each other. I laughed and cried throughout the movie (mostly crying towards the end of the movie). The funny thing is that after the movie was over, the couples were more in love with each other as everyone walked out. I feel that both singles and couples struggling in their relationships should see this movie. If you've seen this movie, what are your thoughts on "Fireproof"?
The church my wife and I attend is showing FIREPROOF next Sunday evening. I hope and pray that it will be a blessing to all who see it. I even sent an E-mail to Pastor Catt of Sherwood Baptist Church to ask him to pray for us and our showing of the movie.

Ever watch "No limit Texas Hold'em" on the sports channel~? If you have you know what the term "All In" means. When Caleb paid for the hospital bed and power W/C with the $24,000 from his savings he wasn't attempting to "buy" forgivness he was going ALL IN financially in his effort to win back his wife's heart~!

I saw it and was disappointed; the movie justifiably spent time showing the husband's struggles (and failures) in his marriage and the effort he put back into wooing his wife.


However, the wife's own failures were, for the most part, ignored and there was no similar growth for her character (an older woman, a minor character, does try to express concern when she is seeing a young, handsome doctor while married, but the wife dismisses her concerns and shuts down the conversation.


The movie would have been better had they showed that BOTH parties need to work in a marriage.
True, the movie doesn't show any "growth" on the part of Catherine Holt. Near the beginning of the story she makes two decisions: 1) to divorce Caleb 2) to carry on a romantic relationship with Dr. Keller. This second decision is the basis for most of Catherine's attitudes and actions throughout the rest of the story until her "Moment of truth". Only after her "moment of truth" does Catherine have an interest in growing herself.
