"Beyond the Brady Bunch: Hope & Help for Blended Families" ~ the {party}!!

{quoted from the book....}

"By the grace of God, every blended family can become an opportunity to see His redeeming and restoring love at work..... Anyone can love those who love them and are related to them.  But loving those you aren't related to, people who sometimes reject you, take us far beyond the Brady Bunch and into the realm of God's love." 

~Ray & Debbie Alsdorf

{quoted from the back of the book....}

"Here's the story ~ the real story ~ about what it takes to make a blended family work.

Any parent who has been through a divorce knows that a blended family is far more messy and complicated than any television show portrays. Leftover anger and a lack of trust can make moving ahead an overwhelming challenge. Beyond the Brady Bunch is written by a couple that has survived the ups and downs of bringing children from previous marriages together to form a new family. 

Ray and Debbie Alsdorf understand the frustration and sense of failure that can often accompany a parent's best efforts. Together, they tell their story and offer perspective on the emotional land mines that can undo the parent-child relationship postdivorce. 

Honest, yet unfailingly hopeful, their message is clear: God loves families ~ no matter what they've been through ~ and wants to take them to a loving future together. Beyond the Brady Bunch can help you get there." 

To Ray & Debbie....Your lives, your love, and your friendship truly enriched our relationship as a dating couple, an engaged couple, and as a married couple. We are exceedingly blessed to call you our friends and we are so excited that your message of Hope is now going to reach so many people. You are both a living example of how Christ-like devotion and commitment in your own family creates a legacy that spreads to everyone you touch. Happy 20th Anniversary this week Ray & Debbie! 
We love you!
