[close] Helpful books for a faith transition.

[close] A space for thoughtful discussion on theology and beyond: meaning, morality, and the depths to understanding human life. This group welcomes diverse traditions, philosophical inquiry, and reflective dialogue about sacred texts, inner life, ethical questions, and the role of religion in the modern world. The goal is not preaching or debate for victory, but understanding, exploration, and respectful exchange of ideas. Remember that respect comes first. Disagree with ideas, not with people. No insults, ridicule, or hostility toward beliefs or non-belief. Feel free to share perspectives, interpretations, and experiences, but this is a discussion space, not a place to persuade others to adopt a faith, so basically no preaching or conversion attempts. Stay thoughtful and on topic, posts should relate to theology, meaning, morality, sacred texts, literature, psychology of belief, or religion in society. Interpretations are welcome, claims of absolute authority are not. All comments and conversations must be in English. Don’t hesitate to open a topic under any theme that has already been featured. If you’re unsure where your topic belongs, you’re welcome to ask in the Open Discussion under the thread titled Topic Creation. And don't forget that we also have a Cafetaria for casual conversation or introductions in the Open Discussion section.

[close] This is a group for those interested in the history, doctrine, and teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Books are generally from ecclesiastical or institutional Church leaders (such as General Authorities or BYU professors), but may also include other peer-reviewed, scholarly contributors. In general, this group attempts to follow the admonition of D&C 88:118 - ". . . seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith."

[close] Here we read books on romance, fantasy, and sci-fi, all of which uphold LDS standards!
