Review- A MUST SEE!

I'm not a big movie person. I have to really want to see a movie to actually spend money on it or even spend time watching it. This past week, two of my friends, Kelley and Casey, both wrote in their blogs about the movie "Fireproof." I looked up the movie online and it sounded really good and I knew I wanted to see it. I told Rich and he got it for us. We just finished the movie about an hour ago (we've been talking since), and although it's late, I have to write about it. I'm not going to say a whole lot but I do agree with Kelley that it is cheesy acting but it gets better. In fact the story, message, and power of the movie is so strong that it out weighs some of the acting by far. It was a movie for anyone who is married, has been, or wants to be married someday. They did a beautiful and realistic job with this movie. I absolutely LOVED it, and for me, that's a big deal! Rich IS a big movie person so he was willing to see it, but before we watched it thought it was going to be a chick flick....but let me tell you, he loved it too! I could go on and on...I encourage everyone to see it!Recently I read two other books (well one was a book on C.D.) but anyway, they had the same message as this movie did. The first one I read was called, "Leadership and Self Deception." It had the same message but without the gospel perspective, but I would still recommend it, because it is a great book for all relationships, not just marriage.
Just a few weeks later I picked up a book on c.d. that we've had for a long time, but I never listened to it, it's called, "The Peacegiver." As I listened to this one, I kept thinking, this is so much like "Leadership and Self Deception," but in the gospel perspective. This one is more like the Fireproof movie because it is about Christ. It goes deep into the atonement and how -through the atonement, we can change ourselves and in turn improve our marriage (but of course these principles can be applied to any kind of relationship). So if you have seen Fireproof and loved that, you will really love this book too! Thanks for the recommend, Kelley and Casey, We LOVED the movie!
