What's the best religious book you've read?

[Herr Heinrich]

The Tao of Pooh, The Te of Piglet, and the Tao Te Ching. They were all instrumental in me leaving Christianity. I am currently reading a book on Ecopsychology and it is having a pretty big impact on me so far.

 

[Renji]

The Lost Christianity and the Lost Scripture

Raja-Yoga by Swami Vivekananda is my favourite book.
It's about practical side of religion.If there is a God ,We must see him.If there is a soul we must feel it and If there is reincarnation we should remember the past lives.How ???
That's what Raja-Yoga teaches.

Is there a knowledge that transends the knowledge we get from booklearning?

Is there a knowledge that transends the knowledge we get from booklearning?

Yes. Direct experience and learning from Nature teach us more than books ever could.

 

[Gaura Priya]

The Bhagavad Gita... After that, I could now appreciate every religious book with some merit and without disdain.

Stranger In A Strange Land by Robert Heinlein.

The Jew In The Lotus: A Poet's Re-Discovery Of Jewish Identity In Buddhist India by Rodger Kamenetz.

My favorite religious book that I have read so far has to be Living Buddha, Living Christ by Thich Nhat Hanh. It's more poetic than informative, which is why I enjoy it. The words are peaceful and when I read it, or any other book by him, I feel a calm sensation overwhelm me.

I think that it will be along time before any religious text approaches the place that Nagarjuna's Fundamental Verses on the Middle Way has in my heart.
