Zbawienie na Sand Mountain. Nabożeństwa z wężami w południowych Appalachach

The book offers an intimate look at a dangerous faith practice — I wonder what drew Dennis Covington to this subject and how his perspective evolved.

The devotion and risk involved are intense, but I kept questioning how much of their faith is about community versus personal belief.

The storytelling feels deeply personal yet journalistic. I'm curious whether Covington's approach was planned from the start or developed during writing.
