Going to the Movies? Here's one worth both your time and money!

I've been eagerly awaiting the movie Fireproof, from the creators of Facing the Giants, and this Friday it will finally be here!

Check this out:









Don't think it's just a chick flick (Facing the Giants certainly wasn't!) - apparently there's plenty of action and adventure, along with the writers' trademark elements of humor. I hope movie-goers will turn out in droves this weekend, assuring this venture of its rightful place in theatre lineups.

Just as exciting as their movies is Sherwood Pictures' history - check out each movie site for the captivating behind-the-scenes stories of abundant blessing and against-all-odds miracles which surround this incredible movie-making ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, GA.

My friend saw a "Fireproof" trailer at a marriage conference just this week, and she was bawling at the brief clip. She advises, "Bring a hanky." My guess is your husband will need one, too, but don't tell him that ahead of time - just bring an extra!

And please check back here after you see it and post your comments. I'd love to have your feedback.

I saw this film with my husband in a pre-screening. I strongly recommend it. It's a film that portrays marriage in a "real" way, not insulting it or portraying it as fluffy like most movies do. My husband and I saw ourselves in the film several times.

At the pre-screening, we got a copy of some study materials: the Love Dare book and this "Couple's Kit," a bible-study that couples can do together. We REALLY enjoy going through them together (there's clips from the movie that go with it.) If you're looking for one thing to do to help your marriage without spending a ton of money, THIS IS IT. I found them online at www.fireproofoutreach.com. Hope this helps.

And grab your spouse, your fiancee or anyone who might be married someday, and go see this movie.

Thanks for your comment, Ridge. I can't wait to see the first showing tomorrow morning. I've been surprised at the number of people who haven't yet heard about the movie, so I hope word keeps spreading and lives are changed.
