Book Review: A Very Needed Movie for Couples and Those Panning Marriage
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a "must see" for every couple in a troubled marriage, for seekers and for Christian couples. Go with an open mind and take a box of Kleenex. Also get the book, "Love Dare" that they use in the movie.
I just loved every aspect--the action, message and inspirational outcome. Many couples will be able to relate to this. It reminded me of one of the stories from our book, Popcorn Miracles.
If you're contemplating a divorce, be sure to see this movie before you make your final decision. Also apply all the steps Caleb took to save his marriage.
Book Review: A great read (from a reader who has not seen the movie or the study books)
Summary: 5 Stars
No, I don't live in a cave, but I have not seen the movie, nor have I picked up any of the study materials. My wife read the book and recommended it to me. I'm an avid reader but I was really not looking forward to it.
Why not?
Well, let's face it - there's some poorly made/written stuff out there that only sells because it's family friendly or because it is "Christian". So, I reluctantly picked this one up.
Boy, was I surprised. I was hooked from the first chapter and shot through this book in less than 48 hours. (I've reviewed hundreds of books on Amazon.com but I am hardly a speed reader - more like a dogged one).
The relationship between the husband and wife characters (Caleb and Catherine) is on the rocks but seems realistic (and is not overly romance novel-like). The firefighting scenes are exciting and well-done. Sure, you can see the end coming from 100 miles away but it was still well done.
I did roll my eyes at the "prize" scene at the end of the book - it was too much for my taste, but still a good book nonetheless. Well worth my time.
****Addition - May 1, 2009*****
I have now seen the movie and can definitely say that the book is better. The movie is good, but the book is better.
Book Review: Awesome book!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't able to see the movie and had seen a few clips and the trailer of it. At first the book was diappointing because it IS the movie with exact words, phrases and body movements and gestures. But nevertheless, I could not put the book down! It got better and better as it went on. By the end I was crying. I feel if people see the movie and then read the book it won't be the same, because the book follows the movie exactly and you know what happens next. I do agree that they should have wrapped up the story with the doctor. Too many loose ends there. But in the end you can safely assume she "dumped" him real quick once things were patched up between Caleb and Catherine. I really want to see the movie but will have to wait till it comes out on DVD in Feb. I plan to do the Love Dare and can't wait to get the book in the mail! My marriage is pretty good but I want it to be like Caleb and Catherine's after they reconciled. I'm not looking for a boat or a renewal of our vows but the passion and happiness that Caleb and Catherine had in the end. I highly recommend this book especially for anyone who has not seen the movie. I would also recommend buying the Love Dare book at the same time.Book Review: BEST BOOK EVER
