Fireproof
Know anyone who is married and getting tired of all the mundane daily problems and arguments? Talk to anyone lately who is tempted to go outside their marriage or even end it in divorce? The movie "Fireproof" goes out on a limb to portray a believable modern marriage with all of its failures and disappointments. The film offers an incredibly inspiring challenge and hope for those who are in troubled marriages, as well as those who would like to avoid a failed marriage in the future.

The 2008 movie has been released on DVD and stars actor Kirk Cameron who starred in the Christian series "Left Behind". He plays a fireman who lives by the fireman's creed, "Never leave your partner behind", but at home is thinking of leaving his life partner after seven years of marriage. He and his wife argue about finances, housework and outside interests. His wife has become unresponsive and they file for divorce. Then his father gives him a challenge called "the love dare" which is a 40 day experiment. He asks his father, "How can I love someone who constantly rejects me?" His father replies, "That is the love that Christ shows to us" and he reluctantly agrees to try it.

You will find excitement, inspiration, laughter and tears in this film. It was released by Sherwood Pictures which is a ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Ga. If you or anyone you care about would like to "fireproof" their marriage, this is a great film to consider as a resource.
