RAD Reading Challenge Inspo: Books about Faiths + Religions

Plus, I just find religion and faith fascinating, and am intrigued by different ways people practice their beliefs and engage with who/what they worship.
I rounded up some ideas as a starting point — these books all highlight different beliefs, faiths, spiritualities, and religions.

I think it’s pretty obvious by now that we all DEFINITELY do judge books by their covers, as well we should, when they are truly works of art!
Even though I’m allergic to so many fun foods (what I wouldn’t GIVE to be able to eat gluten!!!), I still love a good book where food feels like a character. There’s just something about authors who can write about food in a way that brings it to life and makes you hungry…
There’s just something about a one word title that I love — no need to get complicated, just short and sweet and straight to the point. They seem pretty rare, too, or maybe I just don’t read that many?! But I rounded up 10 solid recommendations for books with one word titles that I’ve read and liked!
