Item description from seller

Offered is a first edition, sixth printing of "Backsliders Brought Back" written by Sam Morris (who was known as "The Voice of Temperance") and self-published in July, 1943 out of San Antonio, Texas. A softcover measuring 5-1/4" by 7-5/8" and containing 72 pages including front and rear covers. From the Introduction, reading in part, "The Bible reveals Its leading characters as being 'subject to like passions as we are.' Noah's feet were hardly dry before he was drunk. Abraham sojourned in Egypt and brought a curse upon the land. Lot, with his family, went to ruin in Sodom. Jacob backslid and forgot his vows to God. Moses, in a fit of temper, smote the rock and was prohibited from entering the promised land. David committed murder and adultery. Solomon couldn't let the women alone. 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." The Chapter headings are: Abraham, Whose Backsliding Cursed a Nation; Broken Vows, or, Back to Bethel; Moses, the Backslider for Forty Years; Choosing the Wrong Sweetheart; The Fruits of Backsliding; Jonah's Second Call; Sifted for Service. Condition: former owner's name (in pencil) to title page; periodic underlining to first paragraph of Introduction; light water stains to upper edges of front and rear covers (not present to the interior pages); spine age-browned; overall in Good condition.…
