May father has read everything Nibley has written, at least five times. And this was the first book he gave to me to read as a freshman in college. Excellent read and very thought-provoking. It will challenge your discipleship and push you to greater faith. Approaching Zion, by Hugh Nibley. May father has read everything Nibley has written, at least five times.

Ya'all need to read the Peacegiver now. Some of Card's work I like, though I've put more of his books down than any other author I've tried. His Ender series can easily fit as a philosophical read, expecially Xenocide and Children of the Mind. Xenocide was my favorite of the four. I’ve read #1, #2, #3, and #5 on your list.
