Literature and Fiction
Jedidiah Robbins is a man on a crusade. From town to town,
his Gospel train rides the rails of 1920s Appalachia,
spreading the Good News with his daughter and a loyal group
of roustabouts in tow. But Jedidiah’s traveling revival
company has a secret: in addition to offering the gifts of
the Holy Spirit, it also delivers spirits of another kind.
Prohibition is in full swing, but The Sword of the Lord
train keeps the speakeasies in the towns it visits in
business by providing the best that mountain stills have to
offer. While beyond the gaze of federal agents, the
operation eventually runs afoul of an overzealous small town
sheriff and a corrupt judge, setting in motion a series of
events that could land them all in chains. Told with
haunting lyricism, this is the story of a preacher full of
contradictions, a man for whom the way is never straight and
narrow. It bends like the river, a river that leads him in
the paths of a different brand of righteousness—and perhaps
even to salvation.
