To pinpoint the best spiritual books, we reached out to real-life spiritual leaders and asked for their favorites - the page-turners they reach for time and time again when they need a little boost of faith. In fact, many novels and even poetry books can provide a very spiritual experience that brings you closer to nature, to other people and to your God all at the same time. Remember, a "spiritual" book doesn't have to be a sacred writing like the Bible or a straightforward study of the Torah. That's where we recommend picking up a spiritual book. And it's times like these when a good read that inspires, motivates and nourishes your mind and soul can help you feel more connected and at peace amidst the chaos - and guide you toward a better place (physically and mentally). The last few years have been rough for everyone.
