  • Summary

  • Appalachain Tales of the Holiness Believers takes the listener into the world of the Appalachian Holiness people and their strong faith and beliefs. Some believe it’s wrong to have a television in their home. Some even handle deadly serpents, handle fire, and drink the poison. These holiness traditions have been handed down over the years and I suspect they’ll continue to be handed down maybe ‘till the end is here.
