I loved this movie. Everyone involved in it really made it clear that the message behind this story is the fact that your life can turn around in the face of adversity.

To see a young couple with young children spiral downhill and have to make choices based on greed, anger, resentment and lack of trust really defines a lot of homes and marriages of today. It is important for folks to see what this does to a family and to children. It is also interesting that this is told from the Dads point of view. Often times, the Dad is portrayed as the "bad guy"...it was different in this case.

I think the acting was well done, the story flowed, the music was powerful, and when I met the actors at one of the first showings I really liked the leads-Adam Melton and Vanessa Ore. They were very appreciative of people coming to see the film. The 2 girls that played their daughters-Kayli Tolleson and Anna Grace Bradley were just as charming as they were in the movie.

I would recommend this movie for anyone who has a heart. You will appreciate the effort that was put into this film by everyone involved.

This movie has been promoted around my small town by the lead actor Adam Melton as the next big thing in Christian cinema. Aside from being low budget and shown on a homemade DVD, I was willing to give it a chance. That was until Mr. Melton proved to be rather arrogant. When asked during a question and answer session about some of the flaws in the film, he quickly blew off those asking the questions.

The film itself gives a low opinion of women as the wife is the cause of all the drama in Dale's life. It feels like nothing he has done has led to these situations at all because he's the 'perfect' husband and father. Several key events feel contrived and pushed in order to get the point they wish you to grasp along. Overall, the message isn't delivered very well. Do yourself a favor and rent Fireproof or simply wait for Courageous to come out in a theater near you.
