FIREPROOF: a new movie from the makers of “Facing the Giants”

My wife and I had a chance to see a sneak preview of the new movie, Fireproof, this week. A church in Georgia put this film together. You may have seen their first films, Facing the Giants and Flywheel, which are great movies to show the whole family. While this new movie is not for really little children, it is for everyone else! 

I like movies with superheroes but I honestly get tired of movies glorifying evil and corruption. Even the “good guys” are often portrayed as villains or with a dark side.

This is a movie that elevates Christ and glorifies good. It’s an honest movie about the struggles of marriage and will make you laugh, cry, think of your own marriage and its struggles, and think of Jesus. I must say we laughed more in this movie than we have in any movie in recent times! It’s very honest and funny!

Needless to say, my wife and I both highly recommend this movie to anyone but little children. I foresee this movie being a handy homework assignment for future married couples who come in for biblical counseling.

To see a trailer of the movie, go to www.fireproofthemovie.com and watch a preview of it.

The movie comes out Friday, September 26th. Please go to the theater to support this movie and to tell Hollywood that we want more movies that openly lift up Christ and the Christian faith in a favorable manner.
