Inspired by the remarkable true story of a man who faced down a violent bootlegging syndicate and became known as the pistol-packing preacher.
When Rick Burleson rides into the timber boomtown of Groveton with his wife and two young children, he expects to lead a church, not a war.
But his new town has fallen under the thumb of a corrupt sheriff, a gambling-indebted lumber baron, and a cold-blooded mob enforcer.
With a loaded Colt on the pulpit every Sunday, Rick must decide if patience and prayer alone can save his town, or the men and women who love Groveton must finally take matters into their own hands.
In the world of old-growth East Texas logging, a town fights to become something worth keeping and a husband and wife learn what defiant faith will cost them.
For readers who love historical fiction with moral weight, period authenticity, and characters who refuse to be defeated, here is a gripping turn-of-the-century novel of crime and courage.
Step into a town where everyone must decide what to stand for-and maybe what to die for.
