●  The Way of Life: The Rediscovered Teachings of the Twelve Jewish Apostles to the Gentiles The title is a word-play on  the ancient church-document Διδαχή  (" Didache "; "dih-dah-KHĀ"; n,「Teachings」), the shortened for Διδαχὴ Κυρίου διὰ τῶν δώδεκα ἀποστόλων τοῖς ἔθνεσιν (「Teachings of (the) Lord through the Twelve Apostles to the Gentiles」), which was  used and adjusted as constitutions for congregations until the A. D. 400's , when significant Jewish clergy-membership, representation, and influence in Christendom disintegrated enough. The document was pretty much forgotten until a text of it was  rediscovered by a Greek Orthodox archbishop in 1873 . Yes, commentaries have been written Protestants, Catholics, Orthodox, and others over the years, but (if you want  to see what the Faith was like before what was once a peculiar sect of Judaism became its own separate religion, and from a Jewish perspective ), this books will help you see the historical, cultural, and religious contexts hiding in plain sight in modern, Gentile-dominated Euro-American Christianity today. If you wondered a number of Christians today believe certain things even without verses to back them, you may be surprised to find some of those ideas in the  Διδαχή . ●  Zondervan Handbook to the History of Christianity From the publisher of many a Bible-translation over the decades, this  this book goes over & beyond many others (which essentially act like Christendom only existed in Europe & later the U. S.) . You've hear of the mainland Europe's Reformation & the U. K.'s formation of the Anglican Church, but did you hear of the Vatican replacing via the sword Celtic Christianity's Passover-based Easter-scheduling? Of Middle Eastern Christendom's survival & coping-mechanisms under the Islamic Empire? Of the 景教經典 (" Jǐngjiào jīngdiǎn "; 「Nestorian Documents」or more commonly 「Jesus Sutras」) written during the A. D. 600's, describing the Good News in the only religious-vocabulary available in Classical Chinese: Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian? Of the long history of Christianity in Africa?  There's literally a world's worth of events in that book  I didn't know, despite my Church History class back in high-school. You'd be surprised at what you can find. I'll just say, the Buddhist weren't the only ones with Shaolin monks!

If you have digital or online books through a library stem, using their library is a great way to sample authors you’ve never encountered before and the library I visit in Canada has people read the books and evaluate them for quality before they are allowed on the shelf.

Depends on what you're looking for.

If you're looking for good devotional reading, try Introduction to the Devout Life by Saint Francis de Sales or The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis.

If it's faith formation, one of the best books I've read is Christ, the Life of the Soul by Blessed Columba Marmion. The Confessions of Saint Augustine is another good one.

And almost anything by Scott Hahn or Taylor Marshall is gold.
