Couldn't put it down. One of my favorites. 5 stars from beginning to end.
I loved this book. A super easy read that made me realize how good my relationship with my fiance already is. Possibly, because of us meeting later in life, or because we appreciate and respect each other so much. Either way, this is a good one to keep on the shelf for reference and to share with your significant other.
I loved this book. It was simple, and even a little predictable, but the message was profound. I had a hard time putting it down.

My excuse for reading this book is that the Verizon store is right next to a Christian bookstore, and it took Scott two hours to decide which Blackberry he wanted to purchase. I was already halfway through with it by then and wanted to see how it ended. That said, it wasn't as bad as I thought. There is a lot of proselytizing in the second half as the main character finds God, but he seriously needed to find God. The main character, Caleb, is this firefighter who is a complete bastard to his wif...more

This is a very good book indeed. Not only it helps save marriage at the brink of divorce, it also gives tips on how to make it stronger... Everybody, including those who aren't in a marriage relationship, can relate to the lessons it brings...

I watched and enjoyed the movie Fireproof at some point in the last year or two. My sister-in-law loaned me the novelization of the movie. Sometimes novelizations of movies are more miss than hit, but this novelization was definitely a winner.

This book is a Christian Romance novel, though it's not typical of the category. The romance is portrayed accurate to real life and is mainly from the male point-of-view. I think men would find the book as interesting as women would.
The book isn't terribly preachy and is more a 'this character happens to become a Christian' than a 'listen up, readers--if you aren't Christian, you ought to be and here's how!' Unless you are vehemently anti-Christian, the Christian content probably won't annoy you...more

I have a personal etiquette that I go by: I won't read a book if I've already seen the movie. I feel that it takes something away from the imagination. I opted to go agianst this since this book was written after the movie was released. I had forced myself to read a little more that 100 pages when decided I couldn't read it anymore. It is written pretty much word for word as the movie. I found myself nodding to sleep as I was reading it.

This was hard for me to rate. I gave it three stars because the story is awesome but it is a 'novelization' of a movie. Unlike most book/movies, the movie was done first.
That being said the story is awesome. It is a story about a marriage in which the couple had become strangers in the same house. Really hit home for me.

This book was absolutely amazing. It was well-written, the characters were relatable, and it really made you feel a part of the book. I felt angry, sad, frustrated, happy throughout this whole book with the characters. Being Christian, I especially loved the touch of faith brought into the story. It wasn't overwhelming, yet at the same time, it was the foundation of the entire story. It was real & it was beautiful. It's hard for a book to make me tear up, but this one did it!

Several people recommended the movie to me but the book was at the library so I picked it up. It was ok - nothing hard to read. It was thought provoking as the husband began to take the love dare and do things for his wife to demonstrate his committment to their marriage and her friends at work caused her to question his motives. A reminder that sometimes our friends don't give us godly advice and to always compare the advice people give us to what the Bible says.Fireproof
I thought this was just a novel about a firefighter when I picked it up, and only as I got well into it did I realize it's actually Christian fiction, which I normally avoid like the plague. The book was indeed a story of a top flight firefighter, having trouble in his marriage, and the challenge his father sets to him to try to sort things out before he pulls the plug and files for divorce.

I read this book for my women's bible study. The book was written AFTER the movie 'Fireproof' was a success (I never heard of it before, but I guess it's sort of a cult classic with the church groups). I didn't think it was well written, and the background of the characters wasn't developed at all in my opinion, and I know from others who have seen the movie (I haven't) that the emotion from the characters was much more evident in the movie than the book. The story and message is good: A firefig...more
I really loved this book. One of the main things I loved about it was that it followed the movie almost to a T. That's so incredibly rare and I usually feel let down if the movies and books don't coincide. While there were some really cheesy parts, I found myself unable to put it down towards the end of the book.
One of the negative sides was that I really didn't feel Catherine's emotions as much as I felt Caleb's. To me it felt as though she was whiny and frigid mostly. There was one conversati...more

I found out after I started reading this book that it was written after the screenplay for the movie, rather than before. The book does kind of read like a movie. It doesn't have the deepest dialogue and the characters are not as fleshed out as they normally are in books I read. Normally I don't even enjoy Christian fiction that much because they just seem a little light and don't ring quite true for me. On that note I would have given this book, which was a really quick read, only three stars....more

Fireproof is a strong work of God. Christianity works through every sentence and leeks through every page. A love story with some comedy, that also has a religious message that does not over power the book. Proven stronly the message is shared in a most heart touching way.
For me this book earned a 5 out of 5 stars. The text is not heard to read and you stay sucked into the book. It is possible that this book will change the way we look at marraige these days. It is not a gender bias through al...more

I absolutely LOVED Fireproof! I have watched the movie Fireproof a half dozen times. It was a treat to read the book and delve deeper into the story behind Caleb and Catherine. The creation of The Love Dare, and reading about how these two characters lived it out, was fantastic. I mourned the breakdown of their marriage, and then cheered as Caleb made the commitment to do the Love Dare. Even though I knew the outcome from watching the movie, I was completely drawn into the story as I read about...more

I read this because my Mom gave it to me and she loved it. I did not love it. It was good, the storyline good, but I didn't love it. I think it was too slanted towards having to be a Christian to fix your life. I didn't like that it was the husband who did most of the work in fixing the relationship, granted it was written for the reader to assume that the wife then owned up to her part but eh, it could have been done better. I have to admit, however, that part of my negativity towards the book...more

The subject, the lives of firefighters, handled well by a writer with some knowledge of his craft and not basing his novel on an already-produced film, would probably be worth reading. This isn’t it.
Although the lives of firefighters and their families must be subjected to strains the rest of us can hardly imagine, that aspect need not have been handled in quite such an excessively maudlin fashion.

Caleb and Catherine are having serious marriage problems. Catherine wants out and Caleb isn't sure he wants to fight for it. A conversation with his father puts 'The Love Dare' into Caleb's hands. It isn't easy for him but he wants to give it a try. He struggles to figure out what he wants and whether giving his life to Christ is really the answer to save his marriage.

When rating this book I’m not comparing it to other novels I’ve read. I found other novels to have much better stories and yet I gave them lower scores. I give Fireproof a 7/10 because of the message it delivers. Usually Christian novels are extremely phony and lack any semblance to our current culture. This book does a fantastic job illustrating marriage – albeit a nasty side of marriage. It shows how a broken marriage reacts to the “Love Dare”. I appreciated how real the book felt. It wasn’t a...more

Having lived in the wife's role, I say this story totally glosses over some serious issues. Yeah it's a feel good story with happy ending that rewards faith etc etc etc yawn. But is hard to relate to on many levels. Financially .... I could not even touch their materialism. They also had no kids.... That totally changes the landscape. I think the only realistic connection I made was to the male role model and his struggle with his faith.... Vs. faith of his parents. The wife's honest convo about...more
I did not really realize what it was about, but was warned that it had a bit of a religious flare to it. The religious part was not over-the-top, but I felt the book would have been fine w/o all of the biblical references, At times it came off very preachy Overall, it was an ok book, an easy read, not a very deep book, I felt kind of talked down to. I found the characters a little bit unbelieveable, esp the wife.
The ward book group read this, so I looked into it. I read it really fast. It was a case of having a fascination with how terrible it was. Every stereotype of men and women and marriage and born-again Christians is made to be fact in this book. Read it if you want a good laugh, but you will get frustrated with the stupidity.
Fireproof is a story that I believe every person can relate to. It touches on relationships (good/bad, romantic/friendship) as well as just being a better YOU. A quick read but part of that was the flow of the story as well as wanting to know the outcome.
This book was a very fast read. It was so hard to put down. I love the drama packed within it. This fire fighter and public relations manager showed what true dedication, love and commitment, along with Christ can do.
