The Love Dare is a non-fiction marriage-related book written by Alex and Stephen Kendrick. It is a 40-day Christian devotional designed to strengthen marriages. Each daily devotion includes scripture, a statement of principle, the day’s "dare," (such as "Resolve to say nothing negative to your spouse at all") and a journaling area and check box to chart progress. It is used in the storyline for the 2008 film, Fireproof,[1] which is directed by author Alex Kendrick. For Valentine's Day, Day 1 and Day 2 of The Love Dare were published on the Baptist Press' website, with permission of B & H Publishing Group.
The Love Dare has sold over 3.5 million copies,[2] with at least four million copies in print.[3] It has spent over 130 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list[1], and received the Platinum Award (more than 1 million sold) from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (EPCA) in April 2009.[2] Now translated into over 20 languages, The Love Dare is quickly expanding to other countries. Alex and Stephen Kendrick have written a second book released in the fall of 2009 called "Love Dare Day by Day", a one year devotional for couples.
