The Sawdust Trail

Step onto The Sawdust Trail: a path worn by revivalists, tent preachers, and faithful believers determined to keep the fire of old-time religion alive.

Beloved journalist and storyteller Bob Terrell captures the life and ministry of Ralph Sexton, Jr., a man called to carry forward the heritage of tent revival preaching. With vivid accounts of storms that tested canvas tabernacles, crowds that gathered under starlit skies, and miracles that could only be explained by the hand of God, this book preserves a fading but vital piece of America’s spiritual history.

More than history, The Sawdust Trail is a testimony of faith that still calls to today’s generation. It reminds us that though the world changes, the gospel does not—and the same Savior who walked with saints of old still meets sinners at an altar of sawdust and grace.
