Book Reviews of The Love Dare
Book Review: Powerful!
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank you to the men who wrote this book for taking the time to prayerfully and thoughtfully put these love dares together! Several times already, I have stopped right in the middle of working on this book and asked the Lord to bless these men and all who were involved with the movie "Fireproof". This is an awesome combination to bring marriage ministry into the churches who aren't sure where to start. I appreciate this work for the effect it is having on our couples and on my marriage personally!
Our small group is "Daring to Love" at this time and it is great. Couples are testifying of their breakthroughs and how there is more peace in their home and relationships. PTL!
Personally, my husband and I have been transformed by the powerful word of God as we practice this love everyday. Love Dare is a book I will go through over and over. When the forty days are up with my husband, I will use it towards others in my life, including my grown children, as applicable. Even the "special dinner night" dare could be used towards one of my single friends and her children. Then I will begin the forty days over again with my husband. "Love works no harm" so it will never hurt to do this book the rest of my life if I choose to do so.
My husband and I are so focused on receiving God's unconditional love into our lives and then giving it back to each other that it is amazing how many arguments we have avoided. We are receiving another level of healing in our relationship from the concepts in this book and it feels good!
Book Review: TAKE THE JOURNEY, IF YOU DARE
Summary: 5 Stars
By now, most people have heard of this book, as well as the movie (Fireproof) that goes along with it. The book is a 40-day list of "dares" suggested to help improve your marriage.
I enjoyed the movie and the book and believe every couple should watch the movie & take the dare. I have been married for 16 years & I can tell you that I learned a lot from the book. It doesn't matter if you have been married for 3 months or 30 years, the daily "devotions" & dares in this book can benefit any relationship. My spouse & I did the dares together & while I don't necessarily suggest this for others, I believe it helped us to bond even more. We feel so strongly that the ideas presented in the book are key to making a marriage last that we gave the book to our daughter, who is engaged, to start using now.
Each day has a "daily devotional" followed by a dare along with space for you to write down your personal reflections. Dares range from practicing patience to having a special dinner for just the two of you where you get to know each other again to calling your spouse during the day to see if they need you to do something for them.
I highly recommend that every couple see the movie AND take the dare. In a society where many people treat marriage like it is a contract & can be ended because one spouse "isn't in love with anymore," it is inspiring to know that some people still realize that marriage is a covenant between husband, wife, and God.
Book Review: Great common sense and practical advice
Summary: 5 Stars
How often do you find yourself having the same argument or what feels like the same disagreement with your significant other and you wonder why do we always end up here? Reading this book helped me to realize that in order to see change you have to be the change in your relationship. You've got to admit to yourself that you aren't perfect and that you aren't always right. Sometimes being a loving husband or wife means that you must make compromises even if it's difficult. Loving someone means loving all of them, warts and all which is how God loves all of His children. You begin to realize reading this book and performing the dares that it is hard work loving someone unconditionally and you begin to see how often you look for shortcomings and things to irritate you that your loved one does and how easy it is to overlook all the good and wonderful things they bring to the table. I recommend this book to couples who need help but also for couples who want to become closer and who want to learn to love the complete person. I can't say enough about the insight this book has given me into my own thoughts and actions and how they affect the daily interactions I have with my loved one. It has opened my eyes and with God's strength I hope to continue to use the principles and messages from the book to keep a positive, loving atmosphere for our relationship to grow in.Book Review: Dare to Love the Love Dare
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Love Dare," is designed to impact marriage with agape love; forty days of biblically based dares that encourage placing God first, putting selfish desires aside, with the purpose of improving and saving marriages. Couples desire to have "real love," this is something that does not materialize without having the desire to work at it daily. The Bible teaches us that the greatest commandment is love. This command, along with Jesus' love as an example to us, is a model of the kind of love that is needed in relationships day to day. It is needed to grow a love that is unconditional and this love will fill the emptiness found in relationships and hearts. "The Love Dare" meets an irrefutable need in the world today: real, true, unconditional love."The Love Dare" will enhance any marriage, given a chance. It is not a cure-all, or a quick fix to marital issues; it is a forty day challenge that will help begin a transformation of thoughts, feelings, and actions about love, along with the inspiration of continual renovation in the idea of "in sickness and in health till death do us part." Reading and applying a "dare" - a dare to love the way God loves us, unconditionally, each day for forty days - this is an idea to lead hearts to a new way of loving their spouse everyday for the remainder of their time on earth. Dare to love "The Love Dare" way!!Book Review: The Love Dare

The Love Dare is a 40 day devotions to help you truely understand what
unconditional love is ,acording to the Bible.
I have truely enjoyed growing as a christian through these past 40 days .
I have become a calmer person and for the fist time in months or even years I feel at peace . I have even noticed a difference in my husband too & he is not doing the devotion.
I gave my sister-in -law a copy of Fireproof the book and The Love Dare for her birthday.
She had watched the movie the week befor and was over joyed to get both books.
I feel all 3 things go together,Fire Proof the movie ,Fire proof the book and the Love Dare .
I must tell you Do Not read the LOVE DARE unless you want something realy great to happen in you life. It will not be a easy walk, but it will be a worth every step . For some it will be easyer than for others,
just hang in there and let God work with you .Because He will change you life,for the better. I feel everyone who wants to change their Marrage and personal life should have all 3. The movie is great ,but the book goes even deeper in to the lives of Calbe and his wife as the surch for the trueth and away to save their broken marrage.The Love Dare
