Fireproof
Recommended by the Institute for Christian Spirituality’s STEPS Coordinator, Jo-Anne Lieder, Fireproof was the #1 inspirational movie in 2008. This highly acclaimed movie is a story of challenge, faith, perseverance, hope, love and commitment in marriage.
With his marriage about to crumble and divorce proceedings looming, firefighter Captain Caleb Holt is challenged by his father to engage in a 40-day experiment called “The Love Dare.” It is through this experiment that Caleb becomes open to the love of Christ and learns how to demonstrate his love for his wife, Catherine. But is it too late? Will Caleb, who embodies the firefighters’ motto, “never leave your partner behind,” be able to rescue his marriage before it burns up in flames?
