The Church is literally designed for the illiterate, every service reads scripture and talks about it with a homily. Just go to Church and talk to a priest. If you're interested, most priests offer a catechism where they teach you things like Church history, scripture, and theology. You could be a blind illiterate and get a decent spiritual education. If you want a book, just read the bible and the sayings of the desert fathers.

Just talk to your priest dude. Christ is not a prophet or a man, but is God the Word made flesh. He is neither more God than man, nor more man than God. When you look at the ressurection, it becomes clear that Christ is not a man granting miracles but God as flesh. Anons like to point out early figures in the bible ressurecting people, claiming that these events demean Christ's own ressurection. However Christ, the Word made flesh, ressurected Himself. This is the all important narrative that God is showing us, that there is life beyond sin. He is a daunting figure for sure, I recommend talking to your priest though and not listening to the yokles on this board who don't have Apostolic succession or the clerical knowledge base. Sometimes it also takes a mystical experience, just going to Church and actively trying not to sin too much might help your spiritual journey as well.
