Blended families are an occurrence that are more common and affect more people today than ever before. The divorce rate for first marriages in America today is at 51 percent and even higher for second marriages with children. In the best of circumstances, stepparenting can dampen the enthusiasm of any marriage. Simple problems that are challenging to manage in a traditional home can turn explosive in a blended family. Tying the Family Knot is a very practical and biblical book that can help make a blended family situation work, and it is written by someone who has done just that for many years. Terri Clark offers hope and clear, commonsense advice to those blended families that are based on commitment and Christ.
