FIREPROOF

I'm so excited!! Fireproof just came out on DVD this week and I was one of the first to buy it. I had preordered it through Amazon.com

Several weeks ago, Becka and Tony saw the movie at the theater. They both liked it so much that they ask Jim and I to see it, too.

I thought it was going to be a movie about firefighters, but Becka told me that it wasn't entirely about that and that it was something EVERYONE should see.

Jim and I agreed to go. I am so glad we did. The movie is a love story that every couple should see together. It was totally captivating--evoking a variety of emotions. We laughed and we cried and cried a little more on the way home.

I'm not going to tell you much about it. I'll just say that if you're married, it is a MUST SEE. IT IS LIFE CHANGING. DO NOT MISS IT. It will help your love for each other grow stronger. I promise.

It would be the perfect movie to rent for Valentine's Day.


***Let us know if you've seen Fireproof and what you thought about it.

  1. I have not seen it but have a son who is a firefighter and I tend to stay away from those movies because the little bit I have seen scares me too much. You think we would like this one???

  2. It is just wonderful. I know you would love it and it's not too graphic where the firefighters are concerned. It's more about a couple and how they find love again. My husband doesn't really like mushy movies, but at the end of the movie I looked over at him and he was crying. On the way home he said that EVERYONE should see this movie. I immediately pre-ordered it from Amazon and received it a few days ago. Please, please watch it and encourage ALL of your family members to watch it, too. They will be blessed by it.

  9. My husband and I were touched by this movie too. Several reasons:
    1 -My husband is a retired firefighter
    2 - we found a faith and spirituality that made our marriage more healthy

    Thanks for your visit!

  13. I had forgotten about this movie until you mentioned it. It was one of the few times that the entire audience in the theatre applauded at the end of it! I definitely enjoyed it and felt that it was valuable.

  17. Thanks for the "heads up" on this movie. My husband and I will be sure to see it. I was a volunteer on a fire department and so was my son and my favorite movies are love stories. From what I've read, I better buy a couple of boxes of tissues when I watch it!

  31. Barbara, I have not yet seen this movie... but want to. Our church viewed it twice but because of work I was unable to be there either time. Though through the Jan. sermon series, Fireproofing your marriage, our Pastor has played clips. Though I am not married... I still want to see it. I love Kurt Cameron anyway. He did a great job in Left Behind. I love your blog.
