Babbo's Book Club
Friday, December 2nd, 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
The Babbo's Book Club book for December is Salvation on Sand Mountain: Snake Handling and Redemption in Southern Appalachia by Dennis Covington.
From the publisher (Perseus):
For New York Times reporter Dennis Covington, what began as a journalistic assignment—covering the trial of an Alabama pastor 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. 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.
Babbo's Book Club meets on the first Friday of every month at 8:00 p.m. The books that are read alternate between fiction and non-fiction and are chosen by consensus. Babbo's Book Club is free and open to all.
