The film starring Kirk Cameron as a firefighter who turns Christ to save his marriage received the $100,000 Epiphany Prize for Film, while the movie broadcast on the Hallmark Channel garnered the $100,000 Epiphany Prize for Television during the 17th Annual Movieguide Faith & Values Awards & Report to the Entertainment Industry, held last night in Beverly Hills, Calif., the Associated Press reported.

Produced for just $500,000, Fireproof earned more than $33 million at the box office and is now a best-selling DVD. Fireproof also inspired The Love Dare (B&H Books/B&H Publishing Group)--a book that was a focal point of the movie and written by the film's co-producing brothers Stephen and Alex Kendrick. It has sold more than a million copies and spent 17 weeks on The New York Times Paperback Advice best-seller list, B&H officials said.
