A haunting exploration of faith, from a preacher convicted of attempted murder to a first-hand account of holiness serpent handling--"One of the best books on American religion from the last 25 years" (Chicago Tribune)

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.

Polished Everyday Crossbody, Though Priced Like a Designer-Branded Bag
Color: Vanilla/Acorn
This crossbody bag has a clean, classic look that works well for everyday use, errands, travel, or casual outfits where you want something more polished than a basic purse. The north-south shape gives it a slim profile, so it does not feel overly bulky, but it still has enough room for daily essentials like a phone, wallet, keys, small cosmetics, cards, and other small items. The zipper closure is a practical feature because it keeps everything more secure than an open-top bag, especially when walking around, shopping, or traveling. The front and back zippered pockets are also useful for items you want quick access to, like a phone, receipt, lip balm, or transit card. I like that the layout keeps the bag organized without making it feel complicated. The material is mostly PVC with some polyester and polyurethane, so it has more of a coated designer-bag feel rather than soft genuine leather. That makes it easier to wipe clean and more resistant to everyday marks, but buyers should know they are paying more for the brand/style than for leather construction. The bag feels structured and presentable, but it may not have the same long-term aging or softness as a real leather crossbody. For comfort, the crossbody style is convenient because it keeps your hands free and distributes weight better than carrying a small handbag by hand. It is best for people who want a stylish everyday bag, not someone looking for a large tote or something that can carry bulky items. For pricing, similar branded crossbody bags usually range from about $80–$200, depending on the brand, size, material, and whether it is leather or coated canvas/PVC. At around $180, this is on the premium side for a PVC-blend crossbody, but it is fairly typical for the Michael Kors price range. Overall, it feels worth considering if you like the style and brand name, but value-focused buyers may want to compare sale prices or color options before paying full price.

Designer quality and design
Color: Vanilla/Acorn
This is the second Michael Kors bag in my collection, and I’m pleased with both of them. These are quality items that are timeless and complement pretty much everything that i own. At first, i thought that this was a travel bag in the sense that you would put toiletries in it, but it’s intended to be a smaller crossbody bag that you can travel with. It’s meant to hold essential items and look quite stylish while doing so. I chose this color since my luggage set and toiletry bags are all cream and brown. Classic, chic, elegant and sophisticated without screaming that this is a designer bag. This comes packaged beautifully and carefully so that it’s protected. The strap is adjustable on both sides. The bag lives up to Michael Kors quality and is worth every penny. I need a matching wallet or wristlet NOW. Highly recommended if you appreciate designer products that have a higher price point but will last for years and always be in style.

My go-to shorts this summer
Size: 30, Color: Athens Mid Short - Medum Indigo
These are easily my favorite shorts this summer. The fit is super flattering and they have that classic Levi’s look that never goes out of style. The denim feels high quality and holds its shape without stretching out too much during the day. They’re comfortable once you break them in, and they pair well with pretty much anything. I also like that they’re not too short or too long—just the right length for everyday wear. Definitely worth it if you’re looking for a staple pair of denim shorts!

Favorite Summer Shorts worn on repeat
Size: 31, Color: Luxor Heat - Light Indigo
These are my favorite shorts for summer. I have several pairs that I wear on repeat because they’re comfortable, flattering, and hold up really well. I ordered a size up from what I already have since I’m postpartum, but I ended up not needing it—my original size still fits me best. So I did return these, but only because of sizing, not the product itself. I do suggest sizing up 1 size from your normal size. I usually wear a 29 and have these in a size 30 and they fit great. They are a true jean material and not strechy. Highly recommend these if you’re looking for a reliable, go-to pair of denim shorts.
