Two visionary daughters.

Elizabeth encourages many with her writing, feminine grace

and passion for biblical womanhood.

Stephen Kendrick, holding the Jubilee award for Best Feature Film,

is writer/director/producer of Fireproof with his brother Alex.

Fireproof became the top grossing independent film of 2008,

making 33 million at the box office.

Mr. Kendrick told Academy students that

they did not seek to be the top grossing film,

they sought to make a film that would honor Christ.

5 million people have now seen Mr. Kendrick's sermon on marriage.

Mr. K explained to us that the way "movie math" works,

filmmakers get virtually none of what is earned in theatres --

which goes to theatre chain owners and investors.

But they do make it on the DVDs.
