I watched Fireproof, from the makers of Facing the Giants, over the weekend. I am very glad to see that there are now more wholesome Christian-themed movies being made available in the theaters. And it's great to see that it's been in the top 10 box office movies the first two weekends it's been shown.
I'm hearing amazing stories of how the movie is affecting the lives of some of those who watch it, by motivating them to work at saving their marriages. Since it is focused on marriage, the movie doesn't have as broad applicability as did Facing the Giants; but, I can see how it has the potential to be really effective for use in ministries to couples. The whole idea of the "Love Dare" and the reminder of the need for Love and Respect in a marriage are putting Biblical principles into action.
For me, it was neat to hear the movie use John Waller's song "While I'm Waiting." Ever since I first heard John Waller's album "The Blessing," I've loved his music. "While I'm Waiting" has significance in my life as well, because it reflects my perspective well, in that while I am still single and waiting, I have still been serving and worshipping HIM, allowing HIM to work in my life and use me in my singleness.
If I, as a person who is single, can still truly enjoy the movie so much, I would not hesitate to recommend it to others, especially to those who are married.
