Blended Families: Creating Harmony as You Build a New Home Life

My wife and I are using this book and the accompanying workbook in a blended families ministry we're leading. We've found it to be the best book for couples attempting the challenging work of building a solid, Christian marriage after divorce or the loss of a spouse. The couples (and singles contemplating forming a new blended family) in our group all have found Maxine and Charlie's experiences to be enlightening and encouraging, and the teaching Biblically sound. We highly recommend this book!

This book is AWESOME!! I can't think of a better book to put into the hands of relatives or friends that are intertwined in a blended family position. It's honesty and encouragement make it a MUST have. I believe that this is a book that will benefit the entire family. Packed with encouragement, possiblities, and truth. It's wonderful to see a book finally written with a biblical point of view on this subject. This author nailed it! This subject is a "touchy" one and yet MUST be discussed in order for all families to heal and unite! I would highly recommend this book & workbook to all that are in blended situations like us.

I think this book is awesome even for couple's who have never been married before--as they are also making a Blended FamilyBringing what they learned in their Family of Orgin's into a new family--it will open their eye's to habit's formed in their childhood families that aren't biblical--habit's that can destroy a new marriage--

after reading this book i came away with a definite feeling the author has had her own personal experiences with a blended family. She speaks from a point of her pain caused by her divorce and remarriage. seven children were involved her, his, and theirs. WOW! every situation you can imagine was encountered and experienced. i found there experience something we all can learn from, without the first hand experience of our own. Thank you Lord for using Maxine as your minister in this area of relationships that is so needed today.
