Some days, Dad, you just can't get ahead. You're arguing with your moody teenager, misinterpreting your young child's drawing, or getting yet another gray hair from one of your kid's crazy antics.

But there are also the days like the first time you held your baby daughter, or watched your son cradle in his arms his own first child, or admired a work of beauty in a museum with your daughter.

Fatherhood is full of ups and downs, and in Love Never Fails author Patrick T. Reardon celebrates both the joys and the sorrows of parenting. In the end, he shows that fatherhood can require a lot of work, but a father's love never fails.

The reflections in Love Never Fails are accompanied by an inspirational quote from Scripture, contemporary music, or literature, and a link to a website with practical advice on the issues discussed in the reflection.
