Dr. Butner's Tips for a Better Life

Fireproof

If you have the opportunity, I would encourage you to go check out “Fireproof” when it opens at the theaters this weekend.  The film chronicles the life of Capt. Caleb Holt, who lives by his fireman’s motto, “Never leave your partner behind.”  As a fireman, he is confident, successful, and much admired and respected.  As a husband, he is failing miserably as he and his wife drift further and further apart, and are ready to escape the smoldering ruins of their marriage through the exit door of divorce.  But when Caleb accepts his father’s challenge of a “40-day Love Dare” as a husband, God’s refining fire reveals his true character and gives him the opportunity to surrender his heart, his actions, and his marriage to the One who delights in giving new life to the lifeless and new hope to the hopeless.

Go see it to send a message that you want more films that encourage godly values.  Go see it to be inspired by the message God has prepared for you.

    The trailer looks really awesome. We’ll have to check it out. Hope you are doing well and not too stressed out after the hurricane.
