Jonah sought to evade the call to preach. Elijah hid under a juniper bush and prayed to die. Simon Peter cursed and falsified. Thomas doubted the resurrection. John Mark turned back on the missionary journey. Demas fell in love with the present evil world - In this little book, 'Backsliders Brought Back,' we have selected a few of these servants, have tried to analyze their shortcomings, point out their weaknesses, and call attention to their backsliding and how they were brought back into fellowship with God."
