5. I suppose I can think of a few.

C. S. Lewis' Mere Christianity is a favorite of mine, as is Thomas Merton, especially Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander, which taught me much about Christian mysticism; and Zen and the Birds of Appetite, which introduced me to Zen.

A short story we might start with is "Those Who Walk Away From Omelas" by Ursula K. Le Guin. It's online at http://harelbarzilai.org/words/omelas.txt and has a significant moral question at its center.

Give me a bit of time, and I can come up with others.
