The Smart Stepfamily
 
This is the first “go-to” site.  Start with The Smart Stepfamily by Ron Deal.  It is one of the best sources for re-married couples with step children in the mix.  This book has a companion DVD and small group guides that make it easy to use for ministry.  But don’t stop there…  There are quite a few resources for stepfamilies on this site.  We also recommend The Smart Stepdad, The Smart Stepmom, and The Remarriage Checkup which Ron Deal coauthored with Dr. David Olsen.
