Book Reviews of The Love Dare
Book Review: Love is Daring!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is nothing short of amazing, revealing, and God inspired. I am still working my way through it, but God has been working miracles in me first and foremost. I am so appreciative of this experience to love on my spouse and allow God to use me. I also purchased copies as gifts for others which have been a blessing in their lives from their testimonies. The amazing thing about this book is that it can be used by any married couple, whether they are extremely happy or going through some difficult times in their marriage. It doesn't matter because the various steps in the book only reveal how one can be happier or began to find happiness in their marriage. As a final thought, it takes an open mind and heart to make it through this book, and only the person truly willing to open up and allow this to happen can really see the benefits manifest in their marriage. My prayer is that marriages be healed, delivered and set free to be truly happy and God-filled after reading this book.Book Review: Fantastic applications for all relationships
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book after seeing the movie Fireproof in large part due to curiosity. What I discovered is that it is a fantastic resource even for marriages that are good. Love Dare is written is such an enjoyable easy to read format I found it almost like reading a novel rather than a "self help" type of book.
It was also a bonus to find that the thoughts & ideas can be applied to make any relationship even better! The thoughts in this book made me really look at my day to day communication with my friends and loved ones. Best of all, it was actually FUN to try to apply the principals! I not only enjoyed trying the ideas, I was amazed at the almost instant ripple effect it had. I felt better about treating others with the love I felt for them, and it was evident that they responded in kind and started applying some of it to others they have a relationship with! Love the book. New twist on thing we probably know but it motivates to want to do them!
Book Review: I'm glad I "took the dare"!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Love Dare is a surprisingly effective marriage enrichment adventure. Of all the daily studies/directed exercises I've ever done, this book is by far the most useful and meaningful. The authors have an exceptional understanding and communication of how to effectively change the way I think about my wife. They have given couples a wonderful tool for saving or enriching their marriages.
The daily readings and exercises have a great variety of activities and difficulties -- and they are ALL valuable and to the point. Some are important reflections or assessments, others required some interaction with my spouse. Some were fun, others were really challenging. More than once I balked at following through with the assignment, but every single one was building an important piece of a renewed relationship.
My thanks to all those who did such an incredible job of producing both the book The Love Dare and the movie "Fireproof"!
Book Review: The Love Dare
Summary: 5 Stars
By Stephen Kendrick and Alex Kendrick (B&H Publishing Group, 2008)
This book was featured in the popular movie, Fireproof, and centers around improving marriages by working on the core structure of couples, their hearts. The authors have modeled this book as a 40-day guided devotional adventure, aimed at teaching the reader and their partner how to love God and each other the right way, and how to put unimportant nuisances aside. Each day's reading includes a Bible verse, a principle statement, a dare to be performed that day, room to write your thoughts, and a check box to evaluate progress. The daily dares work to bring the relationship back together and to show the other person in the relationship that you love, care, and value them. With this book's reputation, in combination with the Fireproof movie, these can change marriages and eliminate even the idea of divorce in crumbling relationships; this is a must read for couples.
Book Review: It is about you, not your marriage
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I did the Love Dare and I must admit we laughed at some of the dares because we already do most of what the book dares you to do(at least I think so). The book did something for me that made me want to give a copy to everyone I know, it made me understand that true love has nothing to do with what you get in return but is all about what you give. As a Christian I have believed in unconditional love from the Father but now I have a different perspective on unconditional love for my wife. I think the book not only helps in your marriage but will help in other areas of your life. I have already puchased copies for several friends and family members and every young person I meet I tell them about the movie and the book. I don't know about you but I was married for quite some time before I could truly define what love really meant, now I have refined that definition with the help of the Love Dare.
