Grace-Filled Stepparenting

Description

Stepparenting is HardàBut It Can Also Be Richly Rewarding Stepparenting is an incredibly challenging and sometimes seemingly thankless task. Loving and caring for children who aren't biologically yours means having to earn trust, establish authority, and often put your own needs aside in favor of your stepchild's well-being or a birth parent's wishes. But the good news is this: With some expert guidance and God's help, you can have tremendous influence in your stepchild's life and grow in your faith along the way. Seasoned stepmom Laurie Polich Short understands and empathizes with the difficult job you face. Backed by research, biblical teaching, and real-life experience (including an insightful chapter cowritten by her stepson, Jordan), Laurie provides practical and spiritual advice to help you fully embrace and succeed in your role as stepparent. Whether you are about to become a stepparent for the first time or further along on your journey, you will find the hope, help, and encouragement you've been looking for inside this book.
