Love that series!

"Metaphysical Thinking"
Elmer Spraque.

This concise introduction will not (try to) lecture on the
secrets of the universe. But it will teach us how to
talk about them properly. Otherwise our dialogue becomes
mostly meaningless musing out-loud.
The book moves through the main theories
applying to famous thought on 3 types of thing: Self, World and God. Come back when you read that a couple times

Thanks to others for their recommendations

I started with Conversations With God, by Neale Donald Walsch. I've long since moved on from the concepts in that book, but it was the spring board to others.

I also started with CoG a few years back. Now I'm reading The Urantia Book (no author listed).

From Guru Nanak to Guru Granth Sahib by Sawan Singh is a book I'm reading right now and it seems a good intro to Sikhi.

A great story about mythology and urban fantasy.
