God in Books: Explore Sacred Texts, Beliefs, and Stories

When people talk about God, the concept of a supreme being that shapes faith, culture, and history. Also known as the Divine, it appears in nearly every civilization’s oldest writings—not as a single idea, but as a mirror of human longing, fear, and wonder. You’ll find God in the silence between verses, in the rhythm of prayers, and in the stories passed down for thousands of years.

The Bible, a collection of ancient texts forming the foundation of Christianity and Judaism holds some of the most widely read passages about God—stories of creation, justice, mercy, and mystery. It’s not just a religious book; it’s the most stolen and most purchased book in history, found in hotel rooms, prisons, and classrooms across the globe. Then there’s the Quran, the holy book revealed in the 7th century CE, central to Islam, offering a different voice, a different rhythm, yet echoing many of the same questions: Who are we? Why are we here? What does God ask of us?

These aren’t just ancient texts. They’re living conversations. People still argue over them, find comfort in them, and write novels inspired by them. The way God is described in the Bible differs from how God appears in the Quran—not because one is right and the other wrong, but because each reflects a different culture, a different time, a different way of reaching for the unknowable. Even in fiction, God shows up—in parables, in silent witnesses, in characters wrestling with doubt. The most powerful stories about God aren’t always about miracles. Sometimes they’re about a quiet moment of grief, a father’s prayer, a child asking why.

You’ll find those stories here. Not just the big ones—the Bible, the Quran—but also the smaller, surprising ones: why the Bible is stolen more than any other book, how modern readers still connect with ancient sacred texts, and what happens when people stop reading them. You’ll see how God isn’t just a figure in religion, but a thread woven through literature, psychology, and even the way we tell stories about ourselves.

Some books try to prove God exists. Others try to explain why God feels absent. A few don’t mention God at all—and that’s the most honest kind of all. What you’ll find in these posts isn’t a doctrine. It’s a collection of real questions, real data, and real people trying to make sense of something bigger than themselves. Whether you believe, doubt, or just wonder—there’s something here for you.
