Pastor Bruce had no idea when he made that phone call that his life was about to be turned upside down. His deep ugly secret that he was hiding from his wife, his family, and his congregation was about to explode around him. His wife was about to find out about his infidelity and the affair he was having for the past two years with someone in his congregation that was about to destroy their ministry and scatter the sheep.

For Dennis Covington, what began as a journalistic assignment - covering the trial of an Alabama preacher convicted of attempting to murder his wife with poisonous snakes - would evolve into a headlong plunge into a bizarre, mysterious, and ultimately irresistible world of unshakable faith: the world of holiness snake handling, where people drink strychnine, speak in tongues, lay hands on the sick, and, some claim, raise the dead. Set in the heart of Appalachia, Salvation on Sand Mountain is Covington's unsurpassed and chillingly captivating exploration of the nature, power, and extremity of faith - an exploration that gradually turns inward, until Covington finds himself taking up the snakes.

Carolyn Wilcox was an unassuming little girl raised in a Christian home with a pastor for a father. In Snakes in the Pulpit, she shares her horrifying experience with a beloved clergy member and her journey through the pain in hopes that others will be inspired to find peace. Deception, manipulation, robbery, and sexual immorality can (and do) plague the office of the clergy. Carolyn's message will resonate with others who have been hurt by the church and have experienced this deception firsthand. She provides hope and healing for anyone who has been hurt by a pastor, church leader or church. This powerful story will encourage the reader to seek the God, who is the answer for healing and, through Him, finally find the power and freedom they are searching for. This booklet includes understandable information of how to overcome hurts received from other believers and to know that it is a deception from Satan, and it is not from God.

Armstrong exposes the false doctrine of prosperity and "feel good" messages that many popular church leaders proclaim. He also exposes the shocking lifestyles of prosperity preachers.

Jimmy Morrow, a pastor and serpent handler for over a quarter of a century explores the history of serpent handling from a variety of sources, including his extensive familiarity with families whose roots are deep in Appalachia. As a native Appalachian Jimmy has access to histories unavailable to outsiders. While not formally trained as a historian, Jimmy's own narrative of the Jesus Name tradition is a unique contribution to not only Appalachian studies, but to the history of what many have prematurely thought to be a tradition whose obituary is soon to be written. Jimmy's astounding photographs and his keen insight to the power of this tradition that he proudly upholds suggests that while unlikely ever to be a dominant form of religious expression, it will continue as perhaps Americas most unique form of religion that persists in Appalachia despite laws against the practice of handling serpents. This is an extraordinary personal account of a unique form of religious devotion and dedication. It will be of interest to anyone interested in Appalachian culture or religion in the South.
