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.
