Have you guys ever seen the movie, "Time Changer"? It was done by Rick Cristiano, several years ago. That was a GREAT movie. Great comments.

The plot was a lot closer to what most thirty or sixty minute t.v. shows depict marriage to be like and, as mentioned, with no kids on the line they could have ditched their marriage and "moved on" with their lives. Instead, the main characters realized that marriage is sacred and worth preserving, requiring a lot of work and sacrifice. Much better quality production than most of the Billy Graham movies produced over the years, with true to life characters and some suspense mixed in. I'm glad to learn that like the first movie, Facing the Giants, that is has been widely embraced by Christians and has made a big difference in the lives of so many people.

It's entertainment but it has a lesson attached; and it definitely caters to the "milder" movie-watching population. But would I rather watch a "real-er than real" movie with cussing, nudity, and gore, or cheesy Fireproof which edfifies? Hee hee. No brainer! ;) Thanks for the meme, I'll check that out!

I've been hearing about this movie but don't know anyone who has seen it. I didn't know what to think of it, but your review makes it sound like it's worth seeing.

The young marrieds adult Bible study group at church watched it and is now discussing it. I like Kirk Cameron too. This sounds like one I may like to see.

I am glad to hear from a non-sappy Christian that it was good. I heard it was cheesy. I am glad to hear from a non-sappy Christian that it was good.
