About this ebook

Firefighter Caleb Holt lives to rescue people from flames. But when his marriage is in danger of collapse, how far will he go to save it? Based on the beloved film Fireproof and the inspiration for The Love Dare, this New York Times bestseller reminds us that God will choose to save us every time. 

Growing up, Caleb Holt’s wife, Catherine, always dreamed of marrying a loving, brave firefighter . . . just like her father. Now, after seven years of marriage, she wonders when she stopped being “good enough” for Caleb. Countless arguments and anger have them wanting to move on to something new, something easier, something with more sparks. 

As Caleb and Catherine face inevitable divorce, Caleb’s father challenges Caleb to commit to a 40-day experiment: “The Love Dare.” Wondering if his failing marriage is even worth the effort, Caleb reluctantly agrees, not realizing how these forty days will change his world forever. 

Surprised by what he discovers about the meaning of love, Caleb begins to see his wife and marriage as worth fighting for. But is it too late? His job is to rescue others. Now Captain Holt must face his toughest job ever . . . rescuing his wife's heart.

Ratings and reviews

This book was recommended to me by a friend during a time of tribulation in my own marriage. My husband and I are very much like the characters, but a in a different mix of attributes. This book has given me new hope and a new resolve to focus on the true meaning of love and rebuilding my relationship with God and my husband. I don't know how things will turn out with my husband, but like Caleb, I am going to do everything I can to reach my husband so that he can see how much I love him, while also renewing my faith and walking hand and hand with the Lord. I am starting my own love dare today. I'm walking my faith and not by sight. May this book bless other readers as it has me.

I just watch the movie yesterday and im readungbthe book today... its amazing how you can relate your life to it... I ask you guys to pray for me and my wife we are going to rough times. I will appreciate the prayers people god bless always!

This book has opened my eyes to see that the problems I was trying to fix were actually symptoms of a bigger issue and that is why nothing I did really worked. But now the real journey, the journey of self improvement begins.
