    About this ebook

    Firefighter Caleb Holt lives to rescue people from flames. But when his marriage is in danger of collapse, how far will he go to save it? Based on the beloved film Fireproof and the inspiration for The Love Dare, this New York Times bestseller reminds us that God will choose to save us every time. 

    Growing up, Caleb Holt’s 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” for Caleb. Countless arguments and anger have them wanting to move on to something new, something easier, something with more sparks. 

    As Caleb and Catherine face inevitable divorce, Caleb’s father challenges Caleb to commit to a 40-day experiment: “The Love Dare.” Wondering if his failing marriage is even worth the effort, Caleb reluctantly agrees, not realizing how these forty days will change his world forever. 

    Surprised by what he discovers about the meaning of love, Caleb begins to see his wife and marriage as worth fighting for. But is it too late? His job is to rescue others. Now Captain Holt must face his toughest job ever . . . rescuing his wife's heart.

      Another great movie from Sherwood Pictures directed by Alex Kendrick. Great acting and great tear-wrenching storyline. Kirk Cameron plays fire Capt. Caleb Holt with his wife playing "his wife" in the movie. As with all the movies produced by this group, get ready to shed some tears. Greatly recommended for any couple (whether struggling in your marriage or not). If you like this one, you might also want to watch "Flywheel." While the production was not up to the level of some of their later movies, the content is excellent and would also be beneficial for married couples.

      I found out after I started reading this book that it was written after the screenplay for the movie, rather than before. The book does kind of read like a movie. It doesn't have the deepest dialogue and the characters are not as fleshed out as they normally are in books I read. Normally I don't even enjoy Christian fiction that much because they just seem a little light and don't ring quite true for me. On that note I would have given this book, which was a really quick read, only three stars. The reason I didn't and why I did enjoy this book so much? This book has a powerful message, much more powerful than, for instance, "The Shack." I could relate to this book so much having felt like I have had these same feelings and been through some of these same situations. I don't think the book was overly "preachy" either. I know it made me stop and think about my marriage commitment. Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby. I got a little weepy reading it.

      Good book! Brought me to the outside looking in at the pettiness a marriage can experience.

      Marriage is work, it can't be neglected or disrespected. Caleb and Catherine Holt find themselves in a marriage that neither have seemed to continue to work on. They have slowly let other things take on more importance in their lives and let their marriage fall by the wayside. When it finally hits rock bottom they are left living in the same home, but both wanting out of the marriage. On their way for divorce Caleb begins to talk with his Father and his Father asks him to do a marriage challenge, 40 days called "the love dare". If after those 40 days he still finds there is nothing left to save in his marriage, so be it. Caleb reluctantly agrees, but feels that his wife is not going to change her mind. Unbeknownst to Catherine, Caleb starts to follow a hand written journal he received from his Father. As the 40 days goes by Caleb is brought to God and finally gives himself to God. His life changes and Catherine see's these changes, but doesn't know if she can trust him or open her heart again. Slowly Caleb and Catherine find their way to God and realize what love truly is.
