A Greater Yes
Amy Newhouse is living a blessed life. She is a 16 year-old whose popularity in school is unmatched. Amy also wants to see a change in her school. Drugs, alcohol and violence run unencumbered there, and she desires a future free of such things. As much as she talks the talk about wanting to see a change in her world, she backs down, scared to tell the truth. Amy goes to Africa to do mission work and comes back more determined than ever. Everything else now comes second, including her family and her boyfriend, to leading a revival of spirit in the beaten town. In the process, she begins to alienate people and her popularity wanes. After her death, we see the true effect she had on people. Pampa High School indeed had its revival, even if Amy didn’t realize it. God had a “Greater Yes” planned after all.

Fireproof
Caleb (Cameron) and his wife Catherine (Bethea) have been married for seven years, but lately arguments over career, housework, finances, and outside interests have driven the once-happy couple hopelessly apart. Just as Caleb and Catherine prepare to officially dissolve their marriage, Caleb's father John (Harris Malcolm) presents his son with a most unusual challenge: commit to a 40-day experiment called "The Love Dare," and take one last shot at saving his marriage. While at first Caleb agrees to take a chance on "The Love Dare," the discovery that it's closely tied in with his parent's newfound faith causes him to momentarily reconsider. Still, Caleb carries on with the experiment despite being constantly rejected by his skeptical, embittered wife. When Caleb asks his father how he can be expected to love someone who refuses to give him a fair chance, John tells his son that this is precisely the same love that God shows for humankind. Now, with a little help from above, the man who makes headlines for saving lives will fight to be a hero to the one person who matters most -- his wife. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
