Publisher Description
Firefighter Caleb Holt lives to rescue people from flames. But when his marriage is in danger of collapse, how far will he go to save it? Based on the beloved film Fireproof and the inspiration for The Love Dare, this New York Times bestseller reminds us that God will choose to save us every time.
Growing up, Caleb Holt’s wife, Catherine, always dreamed of marrying a loving, brave firefighter . . . just like her father. Now, after seven years of marriage, she wonders when she stopped being “good enough” for Caleb. Countless arguments and anger have them wanting to move on to something new, something easier, something with more sparks.
As Caleb and Catherine face inevitable divorce, Caleb’s father challenges Caleb to commit to a 40-day experiment: “The Love Dare.” Wondering if his failing marriage is even worth the effort, Caleb reluctantly agrees, not realizing how these forty days will change his world forever.
Surprised by what he discovers about the meaning of love, Caleb begins to see his wife and marriage as worth fighting for. But is it too late? His job is to rescue others. Now Captain Holt must face his toughest job ever . . . rescuing his wife's heart.

"I have counselled a lot of married people. I would really love to recommend this book and the movie to couples especially those in distress. All the man had to do to win back his wife was to love her selflessly and it proved difficult but it won her back. It is easy to want to have our own way but when there's someone else in the picture, the I will have to be given up for We. It took a marriage on the brink of divorce for caleb to learn that. I like it a lot."

" MOST AMAZING BOOK IN THE WORLD!!! "
— Jessica, 1/29/2014 -
" I think this an excellent book for all married people to read. It is a good lesson of what is important in life and how you should treat your spouse. I love the movie, as well. The book is pretty much like the movie, but it does have a few added things in it. It is a very heartwarming story, and I love seeing the main characters fall in love all over again. "
— Catherine, 1/28/2014 -
" This book helped me realize a lot of things in my own marriage that i myself needed to change. Not just big things but also the small things you don't realize till its to late that they mean just as much has the big things. "
— William, 1/24/2014 -
" Fortunately I saw the movie first. Which I liked. The movie was a little choppy and cheesy, even for me. The book is the screenplay version repeat from the movie so if you've seen the movie, you've read the book. The theme about how to approach your marriage is worthwhile for everyone, though. "
— Jenn, 1/14/2014 -
" Being a Firefighter myself is what made me want to read this but then I got to reading and this is one of the best books I have ever read and it will also make you think and make you want to take the love dare yourself "
— Mandi, 1/14/2014 -
" Wow!!! An incredible story and a beautiful book! "
— Lex, 1/1/2014 -
" Boring and unlikeable characters, couldn't finish it. Maybe I'll like the movie. "
— Denise, 12/21/2013 -
" Gack. reads like a screenplay. contrived storylines. 2 stars because the message is good, but the "vehicle", the story is so predictable and smaltzy it pains the reader. "
— L, 12/20/2013 -
" It was ok....I liked the book, but the ending kind of ruined it. "
— Erika, 12/8/2013 -
" This is a great book. I am looking forward to seeing the movie. Definately gives a great look into what marriage is all about. "

" What you do matters most in a relationship. If you are not receiving what you want in a relationship you must give what you want. If you want to be prized you must prize "

" If you have not read this book--read it. It is a wonderful example of what God can do for us is we give our heart to him. "
— Melvonna, 11/5/2013 -
" Anyone married should read this book. It illustrates just how important your partner is in your marriage and your life and without God none of that is possible and your marriage will be filled with strife and turmoil and dissatisfaction. A must read. "
— Keith, 11/20/2012 -
" I read this book before I watched the movie, and like so many others, the book was soooooo much better than the movie. They left out a lot of important subjects in the movie which I am so glad I got to read in this book. If you've seen the movie, pick up the book. You won't be disappointed. "
— Stephanie, 11/5/2012 -

— Jennifer, 10/8/2012 -
" I have yet to see the money, yet I am not sure that I will be inclined to. It was interesting to see a marriage falling apart from the Male's point of view for a change and what he is going through as he tries to repair the bond between him and his wife. "
— Jennifer, 8/23/2012 -

— Reenz, 3/2/2011 -
" I enjoyed this book...It talked about all the work that it goes into to making a marriage work. Marriage can be a difficult road to travel if you both don't make the effort and have faith. "

" This was a beautiful, inspiring story that was much more true-to-life than most other books I've read that are classified as "realistic fiction." I'm looking forward to watching the movie, as this was a novelization of the screenplay. "
— Kate, 1/12/2011 -
" Very easy read, not a literary masterpiece but cute "
— Katie, 12/30/2010 -
" Such a wonderful and insightful book. I highly recommend it to any person who needs a little guidance. Everyone married person forgets sometimes why they fell in love with their partner. It's very easy to find yourself lost in your relationship. "
— Heather, 11/23/2010 -
" Read this even though I doesn't directly apply to my life yet. <br/>Pretty good. "
— Ginnie, 10/8/2010 -
" I've really enjoyed ready this book! At times i needed to get some issues, i could really feel the emotional experiences that they were going through! <br/><br/>This book is based on the mivie and i think it will do the book justice! Just remember to have some tissues handy! "
— Leanie, 10/3/2010 -
" This book is adapted from the movie script, so if you've seen the movie then you will recognize 90% of it, however the author elaborated in areas that were very well done. Definitely worth the read if you liked/loved the movie. "
— Julie, 9/27/2010 -
" Just as good as the movie "
— Jeanette, 9/12/2010 -
" This was a nice book...very different from what I'd typically read on my own, but that's the beauty of bookclub...it gets me reading things I might not pick up if left to my own devices. "
— Heidi, 8/23/2010 -
" I enjoyed the movie version, but was disappointed with the book. I thought maybe the movie was a modified or shortened version of the book, but it is an exact script of the movie. If you saw the movie and wanna read the book-dont. "
