- I know there is a movie about this book, but I wanted to read it first. Years ago my husband had asked me to watch the movie and then read the Love Dare book. I now understand why and even though it’s not to late to change I’m going to do the Love Dare! I cried at certain parts and a lot of it I can relate to and I think this should be a book everyone should read! I absolutely loved it!
- This is a great book. I've read it before and decided to purchase it for a friend. In addition, I purchased the version for myself. It just helps you when you feel like your time in marriage is difficult. I've been married for 20 years and it's always nice to know that you can look back at this book for some guidance. It reminds you of how you fell in love with your significant other. It hits you in the heart and makes you take notice of your partner. 20 years is a long time but you can become lazy in a relationship. I feel like we all do this at some time or another. Reading this book puts things back into perspective.
- This is actually my first time reading a novel that was based from a famous movie, and not the other way around. I usually "read the book first before watching the movie" like when it comes to the Twilight Saga, but then, since the movie came first BEFORE the novel, I guess I had no choice but to break that personal rule just this once. I guess that's why I wanted to purchase the book. I was surprised to find out that there was a book on that famous movie so I was curious to see how Eric Wilson manage to make a novel out of it.
And I was definitely NOT disappointed.
I had so much reading the book that I couldn't put it down. As a result, I managed to finish it in one day. No joke. What I love about it is the fact that it stayed true to the movie. The lines, the words, the fight of the husband and wife, the heart to heart talk with Caleb and his father, and as well with his best friend Michael... Wilson truly stayed true to the essence of the story, adding a couple of scenes to make it richer and more entertaining to read. The best part of this book, I would say, is the part wherein the mother was playing in the Wheel of Fortune, where in the chapter ends with a big BIG surprise for Caleb. And that surprise is something he truly deserves after making a big move to save his marriage with Catherine.
I don't think I disliked or hated any part in the book. I absolutely loved every part. It's so amazing how Wilson constructed this book to definitely complement the movie. It really centers on how Caleb struggled to save his marriage even if at first, he was doing a really lousy job at it. Admittedly, he really wasn't doing a good job at first and that's because he was doing it for the wrong reasons and the wrong motives. And his father was right. How could he give the best kind of love, if he didn't have the Lord in his life, where in it is the Lord who IS love at its very nature, at its very core. When he finally realized this by the grace of God, he managed to finally strive to save his marriage for the right reasons and the right motives and mindset that in the end, even Catherine wanted to be like him because of how much he's changed.
I would definitely buy this book again if given the choice, and maybe I'd give it to a friend as a gift. I lent my copy to my bestfriend and she loved it as much as I did. It's A BOOK WORTH READING. Yes, 5 stars for you, Eric Wilson, great job!!! - A great book, which we heard on Audible while driving two long trips. We both enjoyed it, as it made our journey pass quickly, along with a good story line. Having been married for a long time ourselves, we appreciated the forty day dare with the apparently unsuccessful outcome at first, not all sugar and roses. However, with the husband's decision to commit to his marriage and to change was a huge step in fireproofing his marriage. Realistic and heartwarming, incredibly frustrating at times and then tender. Full of suspense and action during the fire fighting, switching to humorous male exchanges during the mundane times at the fire station all made for a good read - or listen!
- I really loved both the book and the movie.
The story is a great one that I think partially plays out in a lot of homes these days all over America. Sadly a lot of the families don't end up with the same happy ending.
To me, and I'm no expert on writing nor an English major, the writing was good. Things made sense and flowed well.
The story was inspiring and opened my eyes to the way my relationship was going at the time. I made changes in myself that I have seen manifest in my soon to be wife as well. In this manner the story provides not only entertainment but help in an almost subconscious manner. - My favorite. Enjoyed this book immensely. Couldn't put it down. Great book and the story line. I just wish it didn't take them 7 years to figure the problem out and enjoy life. Marriages aren't a piece of cake and they require lots of work from both sides and lots of sacrifices. But that is what we sign up for when we make the commitment "for better or for worse, in sickness and in health....".
- I enjoyed this story. There is so much I could say, but will keep it simple. It was just a wholesome story that makes you think about where yu are in your faith and how you can do better. I kept looking out for my favorite lines from the movie and I was not disappointed!
- Ultimate meaning in a quick read. . .a reminder that the captivity of activity is a death knell for marriage. Underscores God's ability to work miracles in our lives. . .to heal. . .to make beauty from ashes. . .A reminder that the strongest relationships are other-focused-- a lesson God modeled himself with the Jesus's atonement for humanity's sin. With God, all thing's are possible.
