The Backslider: How Christians Drift—and Return by Andrew Fuller (Audiobook)
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.LinksScroll ReaderPaperback or KindleChapters (0:00) Introduction (1:16) Preface (5:08) 1 - The Backslider (7:51) 2 - Understanding the Nature and Progress of Backsliding (12:53) 3 - Forms of Backsliding (37:52) 4 - On the Symptoms of a Backsliding Spirit (52:41) 5 - The Dangers of Sin Left on the Conscience (1:11:19) 6 - Means of Recovery

The Morning of Joy: Hope After the Night of Weeping - Horatius Bonar ( Audiobook)
A companion to The Night of Weeping, this classic points weary saints toward the promised dawn. From the shadow of the cross, Horatius Bonar lifts our eyes to “the morning of joy,” tracing how God uses tears to ripen hope and how real comfort does more than soothe—it purifies. With rich, devotional chapters on anticipation, watchfulness, the “earnests” that break into our darkest nights, and the glory signaled by the Morning-Star, Bonar calls believers to live as children of the day: lamps trimmed, hands ready, hearts steady.

Holiness—The False and the True: “Second Blessing” & “Higher Life” Examined by Ironside (Audiobook)
True holiness isn’t found by looking within, but by looking to Christ. In this pastoral work, H. A. Ironside exposes the errors of the “Second Blessing” and “Higher Christian Life,” showing how such views turn us inward. With biblical clarity, he distinguishes our position in Christ from our condition, insisting that justification is not a feeling but God’s once-for-all verdict: the ungodly declared righteous through faith in Jesus. Feelings may change, but the Judge’s decision stands.
