Essential Reading for Theists (A book recommendation thread)

[Clueless Morgan]

I don't know how available early additions of the BOM are.  For Mormons, I would suggest Standing For Something More: The Excommunication of Lyndon Lamborn by Lyndon Lambron.  He details his multi-generation Morman background, former faith, and how research for a Sunday class he was giving first caused him to question church teachings, and finally to lose his faith.  It also gives a rather clear and ugly picture of Morman leadership.   He's not the world's greatest writer, but he's intelligent, genuine, and not particularly vindictive.  It also includes why it is that after having exposed Mormonism, Christianity didn't make a good fall back.  "Fooled me once,"  and all that.

Screw the Mormons, I'm gonna read this one

Theists should read Mother Goose.

It's just their speed.

Hey, Min, I was wondering when you would make your rec!

And just my two cents, Mother Goose might still be a little sophisticated.  Maybe something more like this would work out?:
