If you enjoyed the recent movies,
Flywheel and
Facing the Giants, from Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, GA then you will be pleased to hear that they have a new movie coming to theatres this August…Fireproof!
The Christian Index publication in Georgia states, “After praying for an idea that would impact not only the church, but our culture as a whole, we believe the Lord has directed us to focus on marriage in the third movie,” says Alex Kendrick.
Today, one in two marriages end in divorce so the Kendrick brothers decided to address faltering marriages and teach “lessons of what happens when a life – and a marriage – is turned over to God.” They want to challenge viewers “Our hope would be that after viewing the film, couples and singles hoping to marry would be challenged and exhorted to pursue God-honoring relationships that reinforce the foundations of marriage in light of a relationship with Jesus Christ. We want people to realize that fireproof does not mean the absence of fire, but the ability to withstand it.”
This is the third movie produced by this church and I’m sure it will be another great family film. Kirk Cameron has joined the cast allowing the Kendrick brothers to produce the film without also acting in it. According to The Christian Index, Kirk ran into Alex Kendrick and their pastor in the airport and began discussing their newest movie venture. Kirk wanted to offer help and decided to audition for the movie. He plays the main character, Caleb Holt, firefighter.
According to the website (
www.fireproofthemovie.com), Fireproof’s storyline is as follows:
Lt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter’s adage: Never leave your partner behind. Inside burning buildings, it’s his natural instinct. In the cooling embers of his marriage, it’s another story.
After 7 years of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt have drifted so far apart that they are ready to move on without each other. Yet as they prepare to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb’s dad asks his son to try an experiment: The Love Dare.
While hoping The Love Dare has nothing to do with his parents’ newfound faith, Caleb commits to the challenge. But can he attempt to love his wife while avoiding God’s love for him? Will he be able to demonstrate love over and over again to a person that’s no longer receptive to his love? Or is this just another marriage destined to go up in smoke?
