Fireproof Movie and Materials Review
Fireproof Movie was produced by a Christian church, Sherwood Baptist Congregation. They utilized their non-actor/actress flock in producing this hit movie.
Certainly, Fireproof is one of the best Christian movies that I have ever seen. Fireproof is not an action pack full trailer movie, but about a marital relationship that is on its way to divorce. And guess what, it was one of the top hit movies of 2008.
The story is about a nonbeliever couple Caleba and Catherine. They are already on their way to divorce due to incompatibilities, arguments and all sorts of marital problems.
Outside their home, Caleb is getting all advices from Christian believers while Catherine is not. Here we see the big difference between the view of Christians and the view of nonbelievers in marital relationship.
There are TONS of things to learn in the movie most especially in our relationship with God and our relationship with our spouse.

Fireproof Your Marriage
“Fireproof doesn’t mean fire never comes, but it means that when fire comes, you will be able to withstand it.”
-from the movie Fireproof
Let me ask you a question, is your marriage on the brink of divorce? Is it chaotic and as if there is no hope? If it is this movie as well as its discipleship material is for you.
What if you are already a Christian and your marriage is doing well? Then this movie is still good for you especially if you will involve yourself in your campaign against divorce in your Church.
The Bible is a great source of teachings about marital relationship and this movie is based on it. It tells us the original plan of God for our marital life. It tells us the real meaning of love.
Our society has degraded morally. More and more marriages is going down because of the evil desires of men and this is not because of the incompatibilities with each other but because men lack God.
On the other hand, there is hope in Christ. There is hope that awaits for our marriage to recover, and to become fireproof. That is if we are willing to submit our lives to God.
Fireproof Discipleship Materials
Here’s the good news, the movie “Fireproof” was really intended to help solve the worsening stats of divorces around the globe. The movie is accompanied by some other materials where you can use for discipleship lessons, couples seminar, marital relationship counselling, and even for ordinary talks.
But wait, let me ask you. Are you struggling to cope up with your spouse? I mean do you have any difficulty in understanding him or her? Now, this is a time for you to fully understand what is it all about.
Ok, let’s talk about the two books first. The first book that I want to share you is “The Love Dare”. This is more like a devotional material for couples for 40 days (hmmm…. seems to be similar to Purpose Driven Life). In this book, aside from the “devotional” part, it has the daily “Love Dare”, to which the main actor of the movie followed through.
The Love Dare
By Stephen Kendrick & Alex Kendrick / B & H Publishing Group The Love Dare, featured in the new movie Fireproof starring Kirk Cameron, is a forty-day guided devotional experience that will lead your heart back to truly loving your spouse while learning more about the design, nature, and source of true love. Too many marriages end when someone says “I don’t love you anymore.” The Love Dare discusses how such a statement reveals a lack of understanding about the fundamental nature of true love. Each reading includes Scripture, a statement of principle, the day’s “dare,” and a journaling area and check box to chart progress. Dare to take The Love Dare, and see your marriage change forever. Paperback. Focus on the Family recommendation. |
Believe me, it’s not only fun to follow the Love Dare of the day, it is also very rewarding. Just do it by heart and not just because you are under discipleship class.
The next book is “The Love Dare Bible Study”. This material summarizes all that you will be learning from the devotional book “Love Dare”. However, this is more like a tool in understanding love all the more in godly perspective.
The Love Dare Bible Study, Member Book
By Michael Catt, Stephen Kendrick, Alex Kendrick / Lifeway The Love Dare Bible Study Member Book creates a marriage-centered Bible study experience for individuals and couples. Eight small-group sessions are based around one or more movie clips from the motion picture FIREPROOF and connect couples to The Love Dare both during the session and throughout the week.

The Love Dare Bible Study is a powerful tool especially if you will do this as a group, let’s say a small group or a couple’s group.
The last material is about the DVD. This should accompany The Love Dare Bible Study and the Love Dare devotional book. It is a collection of scenes that was in the movie. It highlights the things to learn in the movie and in the 2 books.
These resources are really powerful in strengthening marital relationship. Though it is still God who settles everything (which is also depicted in the movie), these materials are certainly one of the finest in our century.
Where Can You Use Fireproof Lessons
You can use the Fireproof Lessons in the following:
- Small Group
- Discipleship Group
- Couple’s Group
- Young Adult Group
- Marital Seminar
- Marital Counselling
- Family Seminar
- etc…
There are still some ways where you can use these powerful materials.

Suggestions On How Can You Have All Them In A Cheaper Price
- If you are handling a group who is suitable for these lessons, I suggest that you buy it as a group. I know it’s quite expensive if only one person will buy everything.
- If your Church is big, I strongly suggest that your Church will buy these materials and place it in the Church library so that all other groups can borrow them.
- If you are only an individual or just a couple, I suggest that you join a group or form one, and all together, you buy them.
Guys, these materials worth every penny. It is much cheaper to invest on these than to lose your marriage and spend hundreds and maybe thousands of dollars just for a divorce or annulment case. You will not only gain your spouse, but you will gain the LOVE of your spouse.
The Love Dare Bible Study – Leader Kit

Eight small-group sessions are based around one or more movie clips from the motion picture Fireproof and connect couples to The Love Dare journal both during the session and throughout the week. It utilizes activities that create community, provide opportunities to dialogue about real life in real marriage, explore and apply God’s Word, and invite participants into a risky but redemptive journey. Additional help on the CD-ROM can help the pastor/other key leaders create a comprehensive churchwide campaign with such items as a sermon series, promotional ideas, drama sketches, and a concluding celebration event plan.

@Ms. Faye,
Your books are all lovely. And yes, those were really great blessings to me and my ministry. The Unveiled at Last and the No Man Left Behind books were just outstanding and what I exactly need these days. 🙂 Sorry lang sometimes, it takes time for me to release my review because I really read them.
About the Love Dare, I will try to publish a post about it. It’s good to know that it is now available in Philippine Print. 🙂 I love the whole set and really outstanding movie. 🙂
By the way Ms. Faye, don’t you noticed that most books that I reviewed rank higher on Google??? Just thought you might want to know. 🙂
