"Successful Stepfamilies is the most highly practical program I know for helping couples who are dealing with the common struggles of stepparenting. The church desparately needs to offer hope to this large and growing segment of our society. Ron is an excellent presenter and his book The Smart Stepfamily is the most helpful book I know on this topic. I highly recommend this program."
-- Dr. Gary Chapman, author of Five Love Languages
