I am not slamming the bible in any way but are there other books and authors who have aligned themselves with God and can share something meaningful.

I want to thank you all in advance for you help. I was one of those goof offs who slammed religion at every corner. I am starting to realize that was a huge mistake.

Books by Max Lucado are excellent read. He is a great communicator of spiritual truths.
"The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren is also easy to read and very life-challenging.
Heavier in good theology teaching are books by John MacArthur.
But there is nothing as illuminating as the Bible itself. The more you read it, the more you'll understand. In fact the Bible is the "living word" of God and you can read it over and over again and find new truths about God, things to apply to your life etc. Just make sure you pray before you read it, because the Gof wants to explain it to you and it has to be sprititually discerned. For starters read an easy version like "The Living Bible" by Tyndale Publishers or the New International Version translation.

Final Quest by Rick Joyner and he has another book I do not remember what it's names is but it is a sequel to the first.
Very easy read and will you will not be able to put it down. I was skeptical as I read but the guy is right on target with the inner workings of people and how they do God's message.
Must read, inspiring and challenging

'As illuminating as the Bible'; I do not presently think such a book exist. However,I will offer this idea when reading the scriptures; discern the difference between scriptures and the Bible currently. Some additions are currently in most Bibles that contradict scriptures.

Aristotle's Organon, Physics, Metaphysics and Nichomachean Ethics.
St Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica and Summa contra Gentiles.
I definitely recommend the study of philosophy.

The Book of Mormon, although Many books can be as illuminating if you have the spirit with you and are listening for guidance as you read. The most important messag in the Bible and Book of Mormon is who Jesus is.

If you are a Christian, Any of the various books on the lives of a saint are good. There are so many good books out there to help with every faith. Also one of my personal favorites is "The Imitation of Christ" By Thomas A. Kempis

Any Donald Duck comic book will do. It will, by its very existance, prove that ducks can talk and that they wear sailor suits without pants. Once you accept these realities, you will discover immediatley the peace and joy found only through a personal relationship with The Duck.

The Bible, God's inspired Word to man, is LIVING and ACTIVE, and sharper than any two-edged sword.
