Courageous from Fireproof to Fatherhood

There's a new movie being made by Sherwood Pictures. They are the creators of Flywheel, Facing the Giants, and Fireproof.
Here is some Information about this new movie, below from Courageous the Movie Facebook:




From the Creators of FIREPROOF...


Four men, one calling: To serve and protect.


As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, and their partners are confident and focused. They willingly stand up to the worst the world can offer. Yet when they take off their badges at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood.


While they consistently give their best on the job, good enough seems to be all they can muster as dads. But they’re quickly discovering that their standard is missing the mark.


They know that God desires to turn the hearts of fathers to their children, but their children are beginning to drift further and further away from them. Will they be able to find a way to serve and protect those that are most dear to them?


When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God … and to their children?


Courageous is the fourth release of Sherwood Pictures, the moviemaking ministry of Sherwood Church in Albany, Georgia. Their first release since FIREPROOF, the No. 1 independent film of 2008, Courageous joins Facing the Giants and Flywheel in touching and impacting lives through heartfelt stories of faith and hope.


Moviegoers will again find themselves crying, laughing, and cheering—sometimes simultaneously—as they are inspired by everyday heroes who long to be the kinds of dads that make a lifelong impact on their children.


Protecting the streets is second nature to these law enforcement officers. Raising their children? That will take courage.


Courageous … honor begins at home.

Fireproof starring Kirk Cameron - Premieres this Sunday on TV

-
*Fireproof premieres on TV - April 25, 2010, Sunday, at 6 PM est- on the Gospel Music Channel. (just before the Dove Awards!)


Movie Description:

From the Creators of Facing the Giants comes a powerful tale of triumph, honor and forgiveness.


Kirk Cameron (Left Behind, Growing Pains, etc...) stars as Caleb Holt, a heroic fire captain who values dedication and service to others above all else. But the most important partnership in his life, his marriage, is about to go up in smoke. This gripping story follows one man's desire to transform his life and marriage through the healing power of faith and fully embrace the fireman's code: Never Leave Your Partner Behind.

After seven years of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt have drifted so far apart that they are ready to move on without each other. Yet as they prepare to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb's dad asks his son to try an experiment, The Love Dare.

While hoping The Love Dare has nothing to do with his parents' newfound faith, Caleb commits to the challenge. But can he attempt to love his wife while avoiding God's love for him? Will he be able to demonstrate love over and over again to a person that's no longer receptive to his love? Or is this just another marriage destined to go up in smoke?
---

This is a very powerful movie about Marriage, Family, Commitment, and Christian Faith. Some scenes, due to Caleb's job as a firefighter, are too intense for young children, however, I believe it is safe enough for most tweens.

I think this is a very special and meaningful movie about Marriage that explains the trueness of "unconditional love".... it's inspiring and heartwarming!

PLOT:

Hardworking single mom Kathleen is trying to save enough money to buy a house for herself and her daughter, Zoe. But even for someone trying to make a living, she goes way beyond her job description when she agrees to act as her boss's wife to impress a potential investor. The investor, however, isn't quite what he seems, and the deal that ends up on the table is far from just business. Can Sam (her boss) open up enough to let love's warmth melt the ice around his heart? If he can, he might just discover that family and loyalty are the best friends money cannot buy.






Movie Review:

This is one of those perfect little Christmas Movies that you cherish year after year. There is such great chemistry between Roma Downey & Eric McCormack's characters - Kathleen & Sam... it makes for such a sweet little Christmas Romantic Comedy. And Kathleen's daughter Zoe - what a personality... she's so adorable! She is smart and clever... why, you never quite know what she'll say - and she is so brave, caring, and loving to everyone around her. She's quite the little character. What she wants most is for her Daddy to come home and for them to all live in the real-life version of her doll house. Unfortunately, her Daddy has no desire to make that reality.

In the meantime... they are all becoming close to Kathleen's boss, Sam and he is falling for them, too... on the ice and in love! Will business come between them or will true love save the day? It just may take a little help from an Angel to help them along their way.

I don't want to spoil the ending, for anyone who hasn't seen it ~ however, I must say... it does have a very sweet and Happy Ending!
