The best book by far has been MYSTIC"S MUSINGS available from www.amazon.com. However it is not about traditional religion but about spirituality- which is the core of all religions.
In a way my search for reading more books of this type has ended after reading this book.
On amazon u can also get to read the introduction to the book.
Enjoy
