Jordan Peterson’s lectures on Genesis are pretty great. I only listened to the first few but they are very powerful.
Are you looking primarily for Christianity or spirituality in general?
Braving the Wilderness (I haven’t finished this one)
For addiction: Breathing Underwater
New Seeds of Contemplation
By reputation: any CS Lewis, Bertrand Russel, and more contemporary is David Bentley Hart
Catching the Big Fish by David Lynch
The Four Agreements
Basically that’s what I’m see in my kindle at the moment that is relevant.
edit: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle is incredible I hear the Bhagavad Gita is great Start Where You Are by Pemma Chodron is great

I'll take either. Thank you for those.

Francis Schaeffer, He Is There And He Is Not Silent.
However, lately I've been having the urge to dig into spirituality more, as I'm starting to suspect there can be something there, it's just that, except for a single sermon I sat in about people destroying natural rock formations that have been around for millions of years on a whim (yeah the pastor actually said millions of years), I haven't found anything that seemed worth reflecting on in church services I've attended in a very long time.
The book you posted seems interesting, I'll give that a read. I also found Tolstoy's 'A Confession' very interesting back in the day. Do you have other resources you would recommend I check out?
