PREACHER AIN'T DONE 'TIL THE SNAKES ARE BACK IN THE BOX

The book is about the Pentecostal churches in the southeastern United States that use venomous snakes during worship to affirm their faith to themselves and to other church members. In addition to the book's overall description of the phenomenon, two pastors have also participated by sharing their faith. Of course, the book is also about the snakes they use, snakes always play the main role in my books. How are the snakes affected by being taken from the wild and handled during church services?

My name is Rickard Ljunggren. I am 50 years old and I have been interested in snakes all my life.
Over the years, I have had a total of more than 200 snakes as pets, of varying species.
I travel to Southeast Asia as often as I can afford to. Nothing beats herping with a headlamp, looking for snakes at night! It is an exciting adventure!

This is my ninth book about snakes and my second attempt at writing in English.
