Repeating a comment from earlier:

As a former Mormon myself, I appreciate where you are coming from.

I plan to read the recommendations folks made here, but due to the proselyting culture and the mystical emphasis Brighamite Mormonism puts on the Book of Mormon I want to offer a more substantial and impactful recommendation. In its place, I recommend Sagan's Demon-Haunted World.

> A core principle the Book of Mormon teaches is agency. You truly are free to choose the path of your life.

Which goes against everything we know about the brain based on the latest neuroscientific evidence that indicates free will is an illusion.
