Product Description

Ron Deal explodes the myth of the "blended" family as he provides practical, realistic solutions to the issues that stepfamilies face. He helps remarried and soon-to-be married couples:

Recognize the unique personality and place of each family member
Solve the everyday puzzles of step parenting and stepchildren relationships
Learn communication skills to deal with ex-spouses
Honor families of origin while developing new traditions
Invest the time to grow their stepfamily slowly rather than look for instant results

Based on Deal's nationwide stepfamily seminars, this book is also great for small groups, pastors, and counselors.

"Ron Deal has, by far, the best material available on stepfamilies. The insights and suggestions he shares work. Every stepfamily will benefit from reading this book." - H. Norman Wright, Licensed marriage, family, and child therapist, founder of Christian Marriage Enrichment, author
