One of the central parts of the new movie, Fireproof (in theaters September 26, 2008) is the Love Dare book that Caleb's father presents him when Caleb's marriage is falling apart.

B & H Publishing Group (a division of LifeWay) decided to publish The Love Dare and LifeWay Church Resources is publishing a small group curriculum in early 2009 that will be out the same time the Fireproof DVD will release.

The Love Dare is a 40-day guided devotional experience that will lead your heart back to truly loving your spouse while learning more about the design, nature, and source of true love. Each reading includes Scripture, a statement of principle, the day's 'dare,' and a journaling area and check box to chart progress.

In the introduction to The Love Dare, the authors lay out the three elements of each chapter.

First, a unique aspect of love will be discussed. Read each of these carefully and be open to a new understanding of what it means to genuinely love someone.

Second, you will be given a specific dare to do for your spouse. Some will be easy and some very challenging. But take each dare seriously, and be creative and courageous enough to attempt it. Don't be discouraged if outside situations prevent you from accomplishing a specific dare. Just pick back up as soon as you can and proceed with the journey.

Last, you will be given journal space to log what you are learning and doing and how your spouse is responding. It is important that you take advantage of this space to capture what is happening to both you and your mate along the way. These notes will record your progress and should become priceless to you in the future.
