The church desperately needs to offer hope to this large 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 sing the praises of your seminar to everyone. God totally answered my prayer. It was 5 years of hard trials and not knowing what to do with our family and why certain members acted the way they did. God painted a clear picture through your conference. It has been 8 months since the seminar and God has changed us so much. My family is awesome. The children are different because of it and so are we. We certainly were a blender family and now we are in the crock-pot. I love it!!! You have a gift with families. Please keep it up. My God continue to bless you."
