Description

For New York Times reporter Dennis Covington, what started as a journalistic assignment—covering the trial of an Alabama pastor convicted of making an attempt to murder his wife with poisonous snakes—would evolve into a headlong plunge into a strange, mysterious, and in the end impossible to resist world of unshakable faith: the sector of holiness snake handling.

Set within the heart of Appalachia, Salvation on Sand Mountain is Covington’s unsurpassed and chillingly captivating exploration of the character, power, and extremity of religion—an exploration that regularly turns inward, until Covington finds himself taking up the snakes.
