Fireproof Paperback – July 11, 2011

The story was told in such a way that made me feel I was there. The vivid detail helped set the scene. In the beginning the book was much like the movie. The more I read, the more the story came with surprises.

This is actually my first time reading a novel that was based from a famous movie, and not the other way around. I usually "read the book first before watching the movie" like when it comes to the Twilight Saga, but then, since the movie came first BEFORE the novel, I guess I had no choice but to break that personal rule just this once. I guess that's why I wanted to purchase the book. I was surprised to find out that there was a book on that famous movie so I was curious to see how Eric Wilson manage to make a novel out of it.And I was definitely NOT disappointed.I had so much reading the book that I couldn't put it down. As a result, I managed to finish it in one day. No joke. What I love about it is the fact that it stayed true to the movie. The lines, the words, the fight of the husband and wife, the heart to heart talk with Caleb and his father, and as well with his best friend Michael... Wilson truly stayed true to the essence of the story, adding a couple of scenes to make it richer and more entertaining to read. The best part of this book, I would say, is the part wherein the mother was playing in the Wheel of Fortune, where in the chapter ends with a big BIG surprise for Caleb. And that surprise is something he truly deserves after making a big move to save his marriage with Catherine.I don't think I disliked or hated any part in the book. I absolutely loved every part. It's so amazing how Wilson constructed this book to definitely complement the movie. It really centers on how Caleb struggled to save his marriage even if at first, he was doing a really lousy job at it. Admittedly, he really wasn't doing a good job at first and that's because he was doing it for the wrong reasons and the wrong motives. And his father was right. How could he give the best kind of love, if he didn't have the Lord in his life, where in it is the Lord who IS love at its very nature, at its very core. When he finally realized this by the grace of God, he managed to finally strive to save his marriage for the right reasons and the right motives and mindset that in the end, even Catherine wanted to be like him because of how much he's changed.I would definitely buy this book again if given the choice, and maybe I'd give it to a friend as a gift. I lent my copy to my bestfriend and she loved it as much as I did. It's A BOOK WORTH READING. Yes, 5 stars for you, Eric Wilson, great job!!!

El mensaje de Amor♥️ Y el valor a tu compañero de vida🙏🏻

Definitely gave me a new way and ideas to strengthen my marriage. Whether you are struggling or not, this is a must read.

This was a good book. I have seen the movie several times, and I want to hear the book or read. And they say true to the pages. It is a book about not focusing on the things of this world. And focusing on what's important. Those you love and God.

This one definitely a heartfelt, tear jerker story for sure! This story shows tests limits, boundaries and shows that with God involved, anything is possible!

Had some extra labels but were easy to remove. It came fast and was in great condition, smooth, almost brand new! It was a great relief to finally find one of my all-time favorite books in great condition.

Alex Kendrick, his family, and his church know how to create a drama. You do not have to be a Christian to enjoy this book (or the video). I absolutely love the stories and the life changing lessons revealed through all of the books and videos created by Alex and his crew. They spend one whole season praying about the next subject of their book/video before discussing ideas. Hollywood would love to have Alex Kendrick join them...his last movie made approximately 35 million.Kirk Cameron and the rest of the crew (professional and non-professional actors) did an amazing job on the movie. I've known a few people who have actually followed The Love Dare and their marriages have been saved thanks to the movie, book, and Love Dare daily guide for your marriage.If for nothing else, just watch it for the entertainment. I'm sure you will end up needing a tissue or two (a box...lol).
