Never Give Up

Have you ever had someone give up on you? Kevin Barker lived most of his life searching for significance, purpose, and identity in some well-meaning, but misguided pursuits. Looking for bigger and better only left him feeling empty and out of control. His life was defined by the brokenness that surrounded him, including the broken relationship with his daughter. God had a different plan and purpose for Kevin. Melissa Morse did not grow up knowing what a healthy relationship with a father should look like. Her dad was more concerned about rules than a relationship. Now that she was grown, out of the house, and about to move across the country, she could finally make a clean break. Physical distance would surely make the emotional distance between Melissa and her father easier. God had a different idea for Melissa. "Never Give Up, A Father's Pursuit of His Child's Heart" is Kevin's story about how God relentlessly pursued a relationship with him, and how God guided Kevin in restoring a relationship with his own daughter. The story gives a glimpse of both an earthly father's story, a daughter's side of the same story, and the parallels to the kind of relationship our Heavenly Father wants with His children.
