Ready for a great story? Here is one that Janell submitted at FireprooftheMovie.com:
“My husband is in the US Navy and has been involved in some things that sidetracked him from our marriage. I watched the movie while he was deployed, and once he got into port, I asked him to watch it. He watched it last night and called me to tell me that he finally understood what I was going through, and that he is sorry. He told me he wasn't living up to the core values of the Navy. He also admitted to an addiction to pornography, and he wants to get help. PRAISE THE LORD! This movie and series, along with another book, have truly saved our marriage. I was the one wanting out, but God has worked in mysterious ways around the world by finding my hubby on a sub in the middle of the ocean and helping him to go back to Christ. Thank you very much for helping us to rebuild our marriage on the Rock.”

Worth The Wait
We thought you might enjoy an interview with John Waller about his song “While I’m Waiting,” which is featured in FIREPROOF. The story appears on the website NewReleaseTuesday.com.
In the story, John says:
“I am so humbled that ‘While I’m Waiting’ was not only used in its entirety in the film, but is also making a huge impact on people’s lives who resonate with its message of hope in the midst of a painful wait. We are waiting in expectation that there is hope for us. There are marriages that are in trouble and every day we are getting new testimonies about how the song is impacting lives.”

Casting for Stories
One of the fun new elements added to FireprooftheMovie.com when the DVD released were stories from the cast about their experiences in the aftermath of the movie playing in theaters and impacting lives.
We talked with Erin Bethea (Catherine), Ken Bevel (Michael), Harris Malcom (Dad), and Stephen Dervan (Wayne). You can read their thoughts here. We just added another story to the mix: Alex Kendrick!
Enjoy a preview of what the director and co-writer of FIREPROOF has to say:
“There’s not a day that goes by that we don’t hear testimonies from viewers who have been changed by the story. Hearing how the Lord has transformed marriages never gets old! It still amazes me that God has impacted so many lives, but I am grateful that He allowed us to be a part of the journey.”

... And the Award Goes To ...
On the weekend Hollywood handed out its biggest awards, NPR had an interesting story on its home page: Christian films! While focusing on the recent Christian film festival in San Antonio, Texas, the story highlights the impact that FIREPROOF has had on the industry.
Of course, the assumption of the reporter is that the NPR audience has no idea what FIREPROOF is:
“If you don’t believe us, take this quiz: What was the biggest grossing independent film in 2008? No, not Slumdog Millionaire. Not Milk. It was a movie you’ve probably never heard of.”
The story includes quotes from Kirk Cameron and Stephen Kendrick, along with Ben Howard, the head of Provident Films. Read the story and let us know what you think.

Why FP in 60?
A while back, we asked what is your favorite bonus feature on the FIREPROOF DVD. It is safe to say that FIREPROOF in 60 is your clearcut winner. If that is your favorite, know you are in good company. We asked director Alex Kendrick the same question and he was also a big fan of FPin60.So we asked him how the idea came about:
“We always want to add something to our DVDs that the audience hasn’t seen before. Before we started shooting, I thought it would be hilarious to watch a short version of the film, with abbreviated dialog. Since it seems to have hit everyone’s funny bone, we might do it next time as well.”
As they say in the entertainment industry: Stay tuned ...
