Snake Salvation

When a baneful copperhead snake bites a church congregant, pastor Andrew Hamblin is called in to pray for his recovery. With their snake supply dwindling, pastors Jamie Coots and Andrew Hamblin race to hunt and capture wild, venomous snakes before the reptiles go into winter hibernation.

Due to an unusually long winter in Appalachia, Pastor Jamie Coots' snake supply is running dangerously low. He hatches an ambitious but risky plan to travel all the way to Texas, hoping that he and his gang can hunt down some deadly western diamondback rattlers. They face a possibly fatal bite far from home for the one chance this month to stock up on snakes. In Tennessee, Pastor Andrew Hamblin adds a new specimen to his snake collection: a very rare, albino western diamondback. Andrew must decide whether to take up the deadly albino snake in service or leave it safely in its protective cage.

Little Cody, son of Pastor Jamie Coots, is in a tough financial situation. He has been laid off from his job in the coal mine and has only heard about work in other parts of the state. Though his family needs the money, he's worried about putting his job before God, and falling off the path. In Tennessee, Pastor Andrew shows off the latest in his serpent collection: a 6-foot-long timber rattler. The snake will be a challenge for him or anyone to handle.

With the onset of fall and wild snakes hibernating below ground, pastors Andrew Hamblin and Jamie Coots are forced to obtain their deadly, venomous serpents by other means. The men travel to Repticon, a huge snake expo in Columbia, South Carolina, to purchase new snakes for their congregation. Jamie brings newborn rattlesnakes from his church that he will use to trade in for larger snakes at the expo. But Andrew is forced to pawn his prized electric guitar to get money to buy his snakes.
