Santi Reads Books!
I have recently been working on an article which is about my experience several years ago when I transitioned from Agnostic to Theist. But, the article is not yet ready, so for now, here’s a list of most every book I’ve read in the past year and a half or so. I’ve only left out a few which I didn’t finish.
When I read, I do so out loud, mostly for the benefit of David, but Peace-Guys also enjoy some of the books. I know many of you are wondering about my unusual friends (none of whom are spiders). I promise, you will eventually have the opportunity to learn much about them. In the meantime, I will just say this about them; they are good, moral, intelligent, feeling, emotional beings whom I love immensely.
Anyhow, here’s the book list…

Even more of my favorites
Here is a selection of a few of my favorite spiritual songs. All of these songs were of great help to me during my agnostic/new-believer phase of my experience with God back in 2010-2012. If you would like to listen to any of them, just click the pictures to view the music videos on YouTube.
Most of these songs have some of what I call “LJ content”, which I would describe as content that supposes or suggests that Jesus is God. As I wrote in a previous article, my belief in God is strictly monotheistic. I do not believe that Jesus is God. I LOVE these songs though. They are beautiful and spiritual. When I hear something in them that is contrary to my belief, I am inspired to think more deeply into spiritual topics time and time again. Personally, I find the experience to be very healthy and stimulating spiritually.
While I find this kind of experience rich and rewarding, someone else may not. Everyone is unique and different. So, proceed (or not) according to what is correct for you.
God bless you!
