Approximately one-third of homes in the US are stepfamilies.

Over 60% divorce.

Not any more.

 

 

This pack bundles a practical teaching tool (The Smart Stepfamily DVD) and training for your ministry team. The DVD is Biblically-based and designed for small groups and Bible classes, but is equally useful for premarital counseling or as a supplement to pastoral counseling. This pack includes:
