A Church Based Curriculum Providing Marriage And Family Education For Stepfamilies And Ministries, Richard Helein

Often step-families choose anonymity or leave the local church for fear of being shunned. In synthesizing, existing research with data garnered from stepfamilies via their participation in an anonymous online survey and participatory learning activity (PLA), challenges unique …
