I highly recommend "Faith in the Face of Empire" by Mitri Raheb. Rev. Dr. Raheb is a Lutheran minister whose family goes back generations in Bethlehem in the West Bank. His story will make you think, break your heart, challenge everything you think you know about Israel/Palestine, and perhaps open your eyes to the damage done by US evangelicals' unwavering support for the government of the state of Israel.

"As A Woman" by Paula Stone Williams. An autobiography of her journey towards wholeness.

"Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint" by Nadia Bolz-Weber. Funny, wise, outrageous, and just made me feel good.

For fiction I recommend "The Water Dancer" by TaNahesi Coates. African American story that takes place during slavery.
