Book Reviews of Fireproof
Book Review: Christian Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
this movie arrived on time and was in good shape. It is an out standing movie.Book Review: DON'T watch the movie at all... just read the book
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I read this book and the wonderful message that came with it. On Valentines Day, I thought it would be nice if I were to rent the movie.......BAD IDEA. Horrible acting. I recommend this book but NOT the movie. It kind of ruined something after we saw it...Book Review: ENCOURAGING!
Summary: 5 Stars
A book of this nature is meant to encourage and it does indeed.
We all need positive influencing with our marriages especially these days.
This book can be of help to any person married or not, to remind them how to keep a relationship intact, ride out the bumps and await a joyful reward in the end.
Book Review: Even for those whose marriages are good
Summary: 4 Stars
I have not seen the movie and am unable to compare the book with the film. This novelization (the movie came first & the book was adapted from the screenplay) was an easy read ~ though perhaps partially because hubby was off for the holidays and I had some uninterrupted time. There were a few things that were somewhat predictable, yet entirely probable to be more reflective of the types of "affairs" that men have verses those of women.
With neither being a Christian, Caleb is a firefighter more dedicated to his work than his wife and when Catherine feels appreciated more at work than home, she throws in the towel. Caleb has an addiction to internet porn and I thank the author for not sharing the "gory details" with the reader. Feeling it impossible to compete with his online activities, Catherine basks in the attention of a coworker. I found it quite realistic that neither were treated as a "criminal" solely responsible for the breakdown in communication and that there is no single "event" that *breaks* or *fixes* the marriage.
I think those who are in the "comfortable" stage of marriage may realize that is not always the best thing. I enjoyed, "Love is a decision" and that we are in charge of our hearts, not the other way around.
***POTENTIAL SPOILER***
I was a little disappointed about the ending. It was a little "too happy" and overly "and all their dreams came true". I believe the emphasis should have been on the rebuilding of the marriage and renewing the vows, not the boat. It seems that in the spirit of having faith change and rescue our marriage, happiness does *not* flow from worldly possessions.
Book Review: Every Marriage Needs This book
Summary: 5 Stars
"Fireproof" is an amazing book, and can really help you see how simple changes in how you live and how you look at things can impact your own life-along with others. Even though it is a story based on believing what the Bible says and what God does for you, it does not simplify the matter at hand-a marriage in trouble. You still see the struggles that this couple has-even with God in their life-so show that having faith will pay off in the end, and it is worth the fight. I had wondered if it would be a simple 'let God in and the rest is easy' but the book did not do that-it was very real to life in that aspect. I have also bought 'The Love Dare'...and may start giving these as wedding gifts from now on!
