Do I love Mike Seaver? Oh yes I do! He still makes me giggle like a little girl I like to pretend I am!

I’m really impressed by this ministry and the movies they have already done, especially on the budgets they have had. My husband & I watched Facing the Giants together. I told him it was a football movie with an uplifting message. Well…I sort of had that wrong. I didn’t realize just how wonderful the message would be, but I felt a little guilty misleading my hubs that way. I don’t think I’ll get him to even view the trailer of this movie. But it looks really good, AND it’s playing at a theater near me!!!

I know what you mean about not being into romance movies. They often lack the depth you find in movies like Finding Nemo or O Brother Where Art Thou (a couple of my favs!). Give me a great quest for the meaning of life over romance any day.

I saw a preview showing of Fireproof last month. It’s a wonderful story, and there is way more than romance in it. There’s even an element of the ‘great quest’ in it too. It’s definitely worth going to see and taking your husband. Or your mom and dad.

The production and technical aspects of the film have improved over Sherood’s Facing the Giants movie. They just keep getting better at it. I think it will reach more people than Faciing the Giants did….and probably not as many as whatever their next film will reach!

Someone should really warn you before watching this trailer that tissues are required! Or maybe I’m just way too sappy…but I think my keyboard is fried.

I’ve been hearing about the movie, but this was the first time I saw the clip. We’ll definitely be seeing it and I’ll be smuggling in a whole box of tissue, ‘cause I’m weepy that way.

I will definitely see it! I loved “Facing the Giants” so I’m sure I’ll love this, too.

Looks like a movie where I’ll need a box of tissues!

First impression is that it is a great movie that men need to see, but will probably be seen mostly by women…hmmmm.

As for Mike Seaver, his acid washed jeans, white sneakers, and striped tshirt still make my heart flutter.

A movie that uses big strong manly firemen to teach my husband how to love me better? I’m so there. In fact, even if I have to knock him out and carry him into the theater I’ll be there!

I am a hopeless romantic, and who doesn’t like Mike Seaver :-) I totally plan on seeing this movie…

We finally watched “Facing the Giants” about 2 months ago. I blogged about it and someone from “Fireproof” came by and told me all about what they were doing in the comments.

I would love to see it—to support them and just because I love what they are doing. It’s HUGE!

Wish I could go see it with you, Sophie! Guess I’ll just have to see you next week instead.

Can’t wait to meet you, Sister!

Bridget, I sure am glad I’m not the only one who needed a box of tissues before watching the trailer, should have read the comments first :)

In a world so full of divorce, as a newly wed, I am so thankful for a message of hope and victory. We have victory in our marriages when we walk with Christ and die daily to ourselves. I am glad that it doesn’t take 20 years of marriage to learn that lesson. Although I am aware it takes a full dose of the Spirit of Christ, hard work and faithfulness to make that truth a 50 plus year marriage reality.

I adore my husband and he dearly loves me, (more than that he seriously loves Jesus). Love & marriage, that’s something worth fighting for, and we will. Hope y’all will be encouraged to do the same!

I think this movie looks great. Loved Facing the Giants and am so excited they are coming out with another great movie to watch. So much of what comes out anymore I’m embarassed even to watch with my own husband!

Nice to see that we can hollywood type material without all the rest of the junk!!

I’m looking forward to seeing “Fireproof”. It should be another great movie by Sherwood.

I actually went to church with a couple of the guys involved in the movie ministry when they were still in the Atlanta area. It was really weird to be sitting in the movie theater and see someone on the screen you actually knew. One was the main coaches in “Facing the Giants.”

I hope God will continue to use this ministry to reach out to those who might never step foot inside a church to hear His message.

I had heard of this movie also, but had not seen the trailer. It looks great to me. And of course I loved Mike Seaver too :) It is playing near me so I think I may actually take myself to see it one day when the kids are in school—hubby is deployed so I will have to go alone. I am sure I will need to bring a box of tissues in my purse!!

I can’t wait to see this movie! I had read Pam’s review of it and wanted to see it then. But, now that I have seen the trailer, I really am excited about it.

I hope it makes it huge in theaters. This country needs to get passionate about our marriages. We need to be willing to do the HARD work that is marriage.

Yep, I’ll be there to see it. And I’m not even stretching the truth to say that this will be the first movie that I have seen in a theater in over 18 months. Yes, I have a 19 month old…so movie attending has been put on hold, and movie renting has ramped up. :)

I might even email an e-vite to my hubby to go out to dinner and see the movie. It won’t hurt our marriage to learn a little from this movie!

Did any of you see “Flywheel”? It came out before Facing the Giants, but I don’t think it received as much national attention as Facing the Giant did. I found it by searching through blockbuster.com and trying to find movies “like” Facing the Giant.

It is so exciting to have more grown up “clean” movies to go see, oh not that I’m opposed to other movies like “Wall-e”, and the like. I found out the hard way that R rated movies are no longer allowed. Funny how all that language didn’t used to bother me…Gone Baby Gone was a really good movie, if you could get past the language :|.

Sophie, thanks Yes, we’re planning to see it. Even though it will probably make me cry. We love anything that supports our marriage! ;)

God Bless!

p.s. Facing the Giants is a family favorite!

I am so glad to hear I’m not the only one who isn’t into girly romance movies. Every time a friend drags me to one I sit there in agony picking apart everything from the credits onward. I consider my truest friends to be those who call me to go see the latest boy movie. If it blows up I’m so there! I also love a good disaster movie. I don’t mind love and romance in the movie, but it can’t be the point for me. I have to have some kind of adventure to keep me interested. Since I’m not married, and happily single, I doubt I’ll see this movie. But I’m sure many of the women in my church will flock to it and I’ll get the play-by-play later so I can feel like I went. :-)

I’m seeing Fireproof! We own Facing the Giants and have been big Sherwood movie buffs since it landed in theaters.

So yes! I sent out an email this week to all my friends and family about the movie and I wrote a blog post about it, too.

Looks like GOOD stuff!

Blessings

Let’s see…I’m sitting here sobbing at the trailer so I think that means that I’ll be going to the theater. I think it will need to be a double date with me, hubby, his sister and her husband. She and I are currently doing a book study together on being biblical wives in an effort to help our struggling marriages and this movie could start some good conversations in our homes. Thanks for mentioning this. I had not heard of this movie til now.

I am really looking forward to the movie! Thanks for the heads up!
