Caleb’s father, Harris Malcolm, comes to their rescue by leading him on the Love Dare, a forty day journey of godly principles on how to win back the heart of a spouse.Īs Caleb embarks on this forty-day journey, Catherine on the other hand gets involved in an affair with a doctor at her workplace. You will not regret it.They are engaged in a blame game on whose fault is it that their marriage is falling apart.

A God who loves us even when we reject him. It is clear that this redemption is only and all from God. In contrast, the efforts Caleb makes to learn to love, and the forgiveness and similar repentance that Catherine shows, are beautiful and miraculous. The actors portray well a web of bitterness and mistrust that pulls them down and suffocates their marriage. The image of a broken marriage is frightening and sad. But to get down on your knees, and detail your own sins, and plead for forgiveness, forgiveness undeserved? How gauche! How rare. They may perform some symbolic action of sorrow. When Hollywood people sin against others and then are reconciled, they may recognize “I made a mistake.” They may mumble “sorry” and embrace their loved one. That apology is something Hollywood rarely would deign to portray. She later answers him with a similar response. He confesses to her with sorrow and tears how much he has hurt her, and how sorry he is for that.

She may have contributed to his bitterness, but the real problem is the sin in his own heart. Caleb, the husband, struggles through many barriers to win back his wife’s heart, and in the process realizes that she is not the problem in his marriage. The main point is that this is a story of redemption: the redemption of a marriage, but more importantly the redemption of two human souls. I will not post a detailed review of the plot or story, which you can read at PluggedIn Online. Expect something much more true to life and yet much more miraculous than the stories Hollywood provides. Conversion is shown to be a serious act of personal decision, not something done on a whim or out of fear.ĭo not expect Fireproof to be a Hollywood-style movie. The way Jesus Christ is integrated into the story might make non-Christians uncomfortable, but that is because it is true. A portrayal of conversion that is clear, yet tasteful.Not complex comedy scenes like you find in Hollywood movies. Some truly suspenseful moments as Caleb, the main character, does his work as a fireman.A broken marriage is shown to be both partners’ fault, traced back to arrogance and sin that dwells in both their hearts.The main actors show a tremendous range of emotions and genuine, (not canned or fakey), acting.What a movie! In quality, it has far outpaced the other two, even as Facing the Giants outpaced its predecessor Flywheel. Their production has been good but amateur. They have made two movies so far and their stories have always been touching and impacting. If you didn’t know, this group is an independent filmmaking group started out of a church in Georgia. I was very impressed with the progress the Kendrick brothers’ productions have made.

Fie, perfectionism!įor now, here are my thoughts on the movie Fireproof. I just need to remember that a blog post is not supposed to be complicated.

It was a very profitable experience, but I lost, so now instead of progressing to the next level and having to continue with the intensity, I have more free time! I hope to return to this blog a bit more now, and post something my brother Samuel wrote about “American Idolatry.” I also hope to post some thoughts on the Sabbath. Hello friends, I have been gone about two months, busy with a piano competition.
