Just wondering if anyone had any ministry books inside/outside the local churches you could recommend as a Christian who wants to reconnect/know more about God? I feel like I need some sort of guidepost or baseline knowledge as a lukewarm Christian, as I'm really lacking in this area. I suppose the ministry books from the local churches gave me a somewhat adequate base (?), but I don't really want a one-sided perspective written by the same person or peoples. Also I find it difficult to discern whether a particular ministry book is biblical or not. I'm trying to apply this to the ministry books I'm reading, and would appreciate any form of advice or help.

Another question I have is whether it's still possible to use the Recovery bible but simply ignore the footnotes? Correct me if I'm wrong, but are most of the bibles released translated accurately?
