While resources abound for stepmothers, stepfathers are often left to travel a difficult road without clear directions.

Ron Deal offers advice for men navigating the stepfamily minefield, including:

• how to connect with stepchildren,
• being a godly role model,
• how to discipline,
• dealing with the biological dad,
• and keeping the bond strong with one’s new spouse.

He gives perspective on what the kids are going through and why things don’t work the same as in a biological family.

The Smart Stepdad provides essential guidelines to help stepfathers not only survive but succeed as both dad and husband.
