I read the Book of Mormon when I was 16 ( I'm in my 30s now) and I'm currently reading the Koran. I feel the need to understand other religions.
btw I'm Christian. I was raised (sorta) Catholic.

Yes. Before I became a Catholic I read many books on various branches of Christianity. I've read some material put out by the "Lord's Recovery" which claims that all Christian groups are part of some death cult. Before that I read some books on pagan religions. Pretty fascinating stuff but not really anything I would like to practice. In addition to books by protestants I have also read books that the Byzantium Church holds as sacred such as 3rd and 4th Macchabees. I plan to read the books accepted by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the book of Mormon soon. As a Catholic I have read the books that it holds sacred.
How about you? Any good book recommendations? I am open to any good book that is out there. We are taught that all good things come from God.
Peace be with you.

I read the Book of Mormon, the Bhagavad Gita, much of the Apocrypha, and am reading the Koran. I have read numerous Native American stories. I have read ancient Roman and Greek mythology.

Yes I have read the Book of Mormon, Doctrines and Covenants, I have read many books on the Druids since I am of Celtic blood. And I have read Origin of Species. I consider it a religious work as it is the de facto bible, of the Atheist.

Reading the holy books does not help. Read the life and preachings of the prophets. You will find all prophets told the same story. People's interpretations were different, so are different religions.

Go back to the catholic church, there you will find Jesus. He is the Eucharist and you can receive him daily, and you cannot have a more personal relationship than this. He is there in the tabernackle where the light is burning 24 hr. a day.to show his true pressence.

I studied and taught Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism, and Christianity. Also studied the occult. And a right waste of time they were, except for Christianity.

You all should read a book called "Genesis Revisited" by Zachiara Stitchen.
