Salvation on Sand Mountain: Snake-Handling and Redemption in Southern Appalachia by Dennis Covington

4.0

Joe and I once watched a documentary on the History Channel about Southern religions and they highlighted snake handlers. We both love learning about other religions so we found it fascinating. My inlaws (who we're living with) have a great library set up in Colton's current bedroom and I just love looking for new books to read there. This book caught my eye and when I saw that it was about snake handling, I was sold! I really liked this book a lot. It's a non-fiction so it thoroughly explains the history of snake handling and the authors personal experiences with it. I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about snake handling churches in the Applachians.
