Of the Quran/Bible/Torah, any bookDo you have a favourite chapter ?
Perhaps in a similar direction, CS Lewis's 'Pilgrims Regress', he tells his own story in allegory from 'Churchianity', through Atheism to real faith...For me A book called 'diseases of the heart' by Ibn Taymmiah really resonated with me. It taught me how we're all searching for truth and that sense of wandering is a sign that God is real and wants us to come back to Him. It does have a lot of Islamic references but in general it details the issues of our spirituality and how our hearts fluctuate and need to be governed in order to fulfill a peaceful state of being
No, I'm Russian. I can't read Greek, it's different from Russian.@Sunny
You are Greek? How does your language compare with the Greek used in the New Testament?
Привет солнечныйNo, I'm Russian. I can't read Greek, it's different from Russian.
I've read the book in Russian translation first, then in English.
I see now my mistake - I suppose, it should be not "in original', but "in English"
it's right! Здравствуйте or приветПривет солнечный
Book of Enoch/Book of Jasher...
For me, both helped paint a better picture on some things in the bible that seemed to be incomplete (fallen angels for one example)..
Me too! I followed it up with reading 'Thats What the Old Ones Say" by Chief Joseph Riverwind. So much in the legends of the Lacota indians corroborates the narrative of the Bible!Book of Enoch/Book of Jasher...

It blew me away. God can reach anyone willing to seek him. Some of their most ancient stories tie in with the Creator God and him sending his Son...@Red Sky at Morning
I read a Kindle sampling of That's What the Old Ones Say by Chief Riverwind. It is because 1/2 of my family is 1/2 Native American. I have checked out his website, also. He is a Native American Christian with Jewish ancestry. Isn't that quite the combo?
I find it fascinating how he has included some Jewish aspects of worship in his Christian practice.
So, the whole book by Riverwind is worth the read?
Also...pre-missionary!It blew me away. God can reach anyone willing to seek him. Some of their most ancient stories tie in with the Creator God and him sending his Son...
How did American Indians, pre-Columbus pick up on this!?
