The Backslider: How Christians Drift—and Return by Andrew Fuller (Audiobook)
Episode description
When faith grows dim and outward forms remain without life, what is left?
In The Backslider, Andrew Fuller exposes one of the most solemn truths in the Christian walk—the soul that once seemed earnest, yet turns away from God. With pastoral tenderness and searching insight into the human heart, Fuller traces the slow and hidden decline of the inner life: how holy affections fade, how conscience grows silent, and how sin—when left unconfessed—darkens the understanding and hardens the heart.
