The Author
Gayla Grace is the director and co-founder of Sisterhood of Stepmoms, a non-profit organization designed to create community and provide national retreats for stepmothers. She holds a master’s degree in Psychology and Counseling and founded StepparentingWithGrace.com more than a decade ago to offer coaching services, resources, and other encouragement to stepfamilies. Gayla and her husband, Randy, have five children in their blended family, ages seventeen to thirty-three, and reside in Bossier City, Louisiana with an “ours” child still at home.
NASHVILLE, TN) May 1, 2018 – Uniting two families into one is not an easy task. The stepmom journey includes days of bumpy roads and overwhelming emotions. Struggles with ex-spouses, complicated schedules, bickering kids, and financial concerns can easily threaten a hoped-for idyllic home and leave you longing for a white picket fence. But where do stepmoms go when they just need a little encouragement?
Stepparenting with Grace: A Devotional for Blended Families (9781683972686, August 2018) is the resource veteran stepmom Gayla Grace wanted but couldn’t find. The StepFamily Foundation reports that there are more than 1300 new stepfamilies forming every day and that 75% of stepfamilies complain they don’t have access to resources specific to their situation. “As a young
stepmom,” writes Gayla, “I longed for a
stepmom,” writes Gayla, “I longed for a
devotional that offered encouraging words for my unique needs. But I found limited resources to help combat my emotions during a confusing transition.”
Knowing that blended family dynamics are complicated and the demands are many, Gayla set out to write a devotional that could provide both a soothing salve and a holy nudge of daily encouragement for the thousands of other stepparents navigating the rocky terrain of creating a blended family. Through scriptural support and the wisdom gleaned from her own experiences as a stepmother, Gayla offers much-needed companionship, encouragement, and understanding, along with biblical inspiration stepparents desperately need.
My aim,” she writes, “is to move you toward a daily pursuit of grace.
