Description
Salvation on Sand Mountain: A Haunting Exploration of Faith In this deeply personal and thought-provoking account, Dennis Covington recounts his journey into the world of holiness snake handling in Appalachia. Initially commissioned to cover the trial of an Alabama pastor convicted of attempting to murder his wife with poisonous snakes, Covington's investigation led him down a path of discovery that challenged everything he thought he knew about faith and redemption. As he delved deeper into this mysterious world, Covington found himself drawn into a community of unshakeable conviction, where the power of faith was put to the ultimate test. With courage and curiosity, he began to take up the snakes, embarking on a journey that would change him forever. This is a gripping and unsettling exploration of the nature of faith, one that will leave readers questioning their assumptions about the world around them.
