What Others Are Saying About the "Building A Successful Stepfamily" Conference
 



"Listen to this guy.  He knows what he's talking about."

Dr. Kevin Leman
Best-selling Author
As heard on Reality Talks



“Successful Stepfamilies is the most highly practical program I know for helping couples who are dealing with the common struggles of stepparenting.  The church desperately needs to offer hope to this large segment of our society.  Ron and Nan Deal are available to help you with the process.  Ron is an excellent presenter and his book The Smart Stepfamily is the most helpful book I know on this topic. I highly recommend them and their ministry.”

 

Dr. Gary D. Chapman

author of The Five Love Languages

and The Five Languages of Apology


 "Ron Deal has developed a highly insightful and practical seminar that has impacted the lives of thousands...This is a must series and I'm delighted to recommend it."

Dr. H. Norman Wright
Director, Christian Marriage Enrichment
Author of over 60 books on the Christian family

"Ron Deal is a true minister to stepfamilies.  His professional expertise, love for the Lord, and his compassionate heart make for a perfect platform from which to teach remarried couples how they can successfully combine their families in healthy ways.  It is no secret that these families face countless complications and with the help of Ron Deal, they will be better equipped to face them head on and be stronger because of it."
Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott

Gordon Smith, Pastor of Adult Ministries

"Stepfamilies in our congregations and communities present unique opportunities for ministry.  Through this seminar, Ron Deal equips church leaders to minister more effectively to this important, but often neglected, segment of society.  His materials are thorough, timely, relevant, and practical.  Ron is an excellent communicator and presenter."

Dennis Lowe, Ph.D.

"The next frontier for churches is marriage enrichment with remarried couples.  By addressing the dynamics of stepfamilies that pull couples apart, Ron's seminar strengthens the couple bond, increasing the chances for a lasting remarriage.  I highly recommend this seminar for your church and community."

Dr. Carl Brecheen
Abilene Christian University
Co-Presenter, Marriage Enrichment Seminar

"I wanted to thank you for the fine workshop on stepparenting that you presented at our Governor's Conference on Marriage in Salt Lake.  The fact that you had such high attendance to both sessions of your class is a tribute to your program...The subject area is so important; there is such need, and your materials are so clinically sound and applicable.  Your evaluations were all very positive; I hope you feel good about the positive impact you are having in people's lives.  Thank you for coming.  The First Lady was very pleased with the large attendance and positive feedback you got."

Abbie Vianes, Executive Director
Governor's Initiative on Families Today

"Ron Deal's "Building A Successful Stepfamily" seminar is a must for churches who want to reach out to all types of families.  All of the stepfamilies who attended the Memphis seminar gave Ron rave reviews.  The church can provide a very valuable ministry by providing this seminar..."

"Thank you Ron for coming and sharing the stepfamilies seminar.  Your day-long event and our publicity for it woke our congregation up to the needs of stepfamilies.  Since the seminar, we have held a stepfamilies support group and also a special 'His Needs, Her Needs' group specifically for stepfamilies.  We have used your manual and tapes with several couples who could not attend the seminar.  They all seem to be helped greatly.  Keep up the good work."

Keith Fussell, LPC
Sycamore View Church of Christ

Seminar Participant, Stepmother

"Just a note to say thank you for the stepfamily seminar last Saturday.  It helped us tremendously...Our marriage was definitely in the crisis stage.  It really made a difference coming to a Christian-based seminar.  Already we are doing so much better."
