There is no one best book, the best book for you would be dependent on your own current insufficiencies. Not even the Bible is best to read alone, for you will fall into your own theological errors. Remember, you're reading a translation, in which there isn't always a perfect word for what is being translated, and words have changed their meaning over time. This will distort your understanding.
