Backsliding

Backsliding happens when you gradually move further away from God. The teaching that this book offers will drive you away from ignorance. Bishop Heward-Mills describes backsliding and one of the graphic descriptions is eating your own vomit. That is when you go back to your old habits, old boyfriends and old girlfriends. If you do this God is utterly surprised at you and He doesn’t want you to do this. The book also offers the causes for backsliding like lust. It is explained that backsliding deals with the way we think and deals with the attitudes of defecting Christians. The book also offers a special chapter in which the author shows you how people, like William Pope, backslide when they approach the gates of eternity. On the other hand he also writes about the happy farewells and amazing statements of Christians like William Shakespeare with staying power to the very end.
