Book Reviews of The Love Dare
Book Review: A good companion
Summary: 4 Stars
If you've seen the movie "Fireproof," the book is an excellent companion to it. Following the methods it contains gives you a new way to view your interactions with the world, not simply the person you plan to spend you life with. I'd recommend the book to anyone exploring a new relationship because the techniques you'll develop will certainly help you to appreciate one another in a more tangible manner, but I'd also recommend it to anyone who struggles with how they view themselves. It's taken me on a fascinating trip through my own heart and taught me a great deal about who I am at heart and where I let myself down. You can not only learn to love others better and more fully...but yourself.Book Review: A great building tool
Summary: 4 Stars
By trying to follow what this book says it will not make you the best partner in the world, but its a good start.
But this book does a great job of just trying to get you to the point where you are thinking of the other person, and where you are trying to find ways to serve them. I have not completed the book. I have been trying very hard that if I fail one of the days to not move on to the next until I have went a complete day with doing the entire days thought.
Marraige has and will continue to be a journey.
Book Review: A great help for any marriage
Summary: 4 Stars
What an amazing book based on the movie "Fireprrof." This book gives the essentials of what so many couples forget after many years of marriage. It's not about just "being in love." A strong marriage is based on a mutual understanding of each others needs and desires. It come from selflessly giving oneself to the person that you ahve committed the rest of your life to. As a pastor I have watched this book transform other marriages other than my own and even been convicted that I had gotten off of the important topics that need to be focused on. I believe that what others may view as a novelty to the movie (this book) could end up changing your marriage, your life. Not becasue you are trying so hard to change your spouse, but becasue you may realize that it is YOU , the reader, that needs to change.Book Review: A great thing for Lent
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book to use, not on my spouse, but on my class of kindergarten students. The daily discussions on aspects of love are applicable to many relationships. The dares need a little modification for my purpose, but so far they have all been relevant enough. I needed the Love Dare to turn over a new leaf and start being more positive, patient, and loving in my classroom in concrete ways. The Love Dare has helped me to see how I was the problem in my relationship with my students. Doing the dare has changed my attitude toward my students. I have a renewed desire to serve them and nurture them. I highly recommend persevering in the Love Dare.Book Review: A must for all married couples
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw the advertisement for this book at the end of the credits of the movie, "Fireproof". I ordered the book the next day. I am still in the process of living the dares, but I can honestly say that it is transforming my marriage in such a deep, positive direction. Every dare only deepens one's committment to one's spouse.
I recommend this book to those who have been married at least three years. Newlyweds should NOT use this book yet, since many marriage "speedbumps" haven't been encountered at that point in married life. (Although it wouldn't hurt to have the book on your shelf!)
Buy the book. Buy it for a friend. You'll be glad you did.
