First Read the 1430 angs of Gurbani in Guru Granth Sahib ji with the translation.

Or listen to Guru granth sahib ji's katha by giani thakur singh which is available on gurbaniupdesh.org

Good Luck

I believe Sikhstudent99 was asking about books, (Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is not a book in the same way Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is not a man but Vaheguru himself).

Conversation with God by Neale Donald Walsch was recommended by bhai jugraj singh of BoS

Bandginama by Raghbir singh bir. Really good book goes into detail about spirituality.

Also prof Puran Singh wrote in english

And bhai veer singh in panjabi if possible if not there r english translations

Also JailChittiyan by Bhai Randhir Singh. One of my favorite books is Why worshipping Guru Granth Sahib is not idol worship by bhai randhir singh. I read it in panjabi tho

For me, a search of the archives of this very forum is worth 10 million% more than any 'sikh book'. (to those of you who recommended he read Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji: hang your heads in shame for thinking our living Guru is a 'book')

OP......a search of this forum will reveal that we (the Sikhs) are no longer the uneduacted and illiterate plebs at the mercy of the urban 'half-sikh/half-hindu' classes that are the authors of 99% of the historical sikh related books that exist. We've passed that stage. We've passed the stage where one of those celebrated urban class sikhs could, simpply because his mother and father were also urban educated, write sikh history books whereby they tell the sikh world that the word 'nihung' means crocodile.

No. We're at the stage where the sons, daughters, grandsons and grand-daughters of rural sikhs that emigrated to England, Canada etc are, for the first time, out-educating those urban lot in India and pointing out their ineptidude. An archived search of sikhsangat.com is the same as the greatest sikh book ever written.

Go.

Go on a voyage of discovery.

A Little History of the World by EM Gombrich. A cracking, seminal book that youngsters are given as an introduction to history, but one that the unaware adult can learn a lot from too.

It's a breath-taking and brief hurtle through the very beginning of human history, right up until the end of WWII when it was written. It really does put life into context, and more importantly, it highlights - to me - what Sikhs should do - and not do - if we are to survive and thrive in coming generations.

conversations is tricky , unless you have a grounding in sikh philosophy it can make you feel that pap pun concepts are not important , just need to be happy and good people

Agree. Some parts did not match Sikh thought. But i liked how it described God n how he decided to create the world. N i like the explanations about if there is 1 god why are there so many religions...but i couldnt finish it, it concentrated too much on how we ourselves are a creator and a God.

The conversation series does answer most or any doubtful question about spirituality. As I said in my post from reading CWG series that creation is already finished. One chooses an aspect of infinity(GOD) either consiously or subconsiously and expeience that in the physical.

But Sikh chooses the path of destroying the illusion via naam simran and consiously merge with GOD. Then game over. The conversation

Says the same thing. Mind is causing the illusion to go on. Choose choose choose what you want to experience is the summary of CWG series. Belief creates reality or believing is seeing not the other way around. Which is quantum physics also aligning with SIkhi choose naam simran choose GOD over his illusion. If you choose illusion you choose reincarnation.

Other books to cement ones belief in Sikhi

Pachmi parkash biography Sant Karam Singh hoti mardan wale

Sant Gatha biography sant Attar Singh Reru Wale

The whole quantam physics thing is explained in Gurbani , as maya will be duty bound to serve the Gurmukh once they serve and surrender all to Akal Purakh .

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
