My husband and I are doing the advertising for a marriage enrichment day we are having at our church in November – Fireproof looks like a movie and a book that will be a great encouragement and challenge to those of us who are married.
Eric Wilson has written the novelisation of the movie also called Fireproof which is available now from Thomas Nelson:~
Inside burning buildings, Captain Caleb Holt lives by the firefighter’s adage: Never leave your partner.
Yet at home, in the cooling embers of his marriage, he lives by his own rules.
Growing up, his wife Catherine always dreamed of marrying a loving, brave firefighter . . . just like her father. Now, after seven years of marriage, she wonders when she stopped being “good enough.” Countless arguments and anger have them wanting to move on to something with more sparks.
As they prepare for divorce, Caleb’s father challenges him to commit to a 40-day experiment: “The Love Dare.” Wondering if it’s even worth the effort, Caleb agrees, for his father’s sake more than for his marriage.
Surprised by what he discovers about the meaning of love, Caleb realizes that his wife and marriage are worth fighting for. His job is to rescue others. Now Captain Holt is ready to face his toughest job ever . . . rescuing his wife’s heart.

This sounds like a great movie and book. I put it on my Reading list and I hope I can find a place to see the movie.
