I find it kind of trivial philosophically and not so interesting as a religious/devotional book. It sure has some poetic value but that's also kind of worn-out (Petrarca, school teachers repeating 3, 1-8, old sayings, etc)

Interesting that everyone's favorite books are all old testament.

New Testament is great, obviously, but its more about the nitty-gritty, while the old testament, baring the few books about legal codes and genealogy, is all about crazy bomb-ass stories about people and God doing crazy shit, often times (at least for me) hitting some feels

Jonah is pretty great. I found it very helpful for me during a time of trouble.

God in Old Testament is definitely more fun but it's at the expense of all the people in the stories usually. NT God is the kind of God I can stand behind. Doesn't arbitrarily punish you or test your faith

Prophet: Isaiah
Gospel: John
Other: Psalms

>> No.10048731

Luke is one, since it's the comfiest gospel to read and emphasizes God's mercy.
I like Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), it's a more elaborate wisdom book than Proverbs.
And, finally James, because he called out the egoism and the whole 'I have faith so I'm saved no matter what' nonsense, despite it persisting on after his death.
