Zoomer here. Been listening to Jail by Kanye West a lot recently and I think I want to become religious. What books should I read to guide me along this path?

Lol. Kanye has a Messiah complex. He thinks he's chosen by God.

You could listen to NF. He' a Christian rapper and personally I find his song more emotional than Kanye. And for being religious, I don't think it starts with a book, but rather a preacher. A good preacher, mind you, since you might get persuaded into the wrong path.

Lyrics from the same song, which was recorded 8 years ago. He was a coked up edgelord then, he’s a divorced family man approaching middle age now; his new music reflects that. The fact you and others are denigrating OP over the means by which he found god ( a beautiful song you haven’t heard) rather than attempting to help him along the path speaks to the shallowness of your faith.

A song I've heard several times. What makes it beautiful in your opinion?

Those are all Jay-Z lyrics that you quoted though and he is an obvious Illuminati satanist. Kanye, by employing Jay, has defanged the usual satanic mind programming from Hollywood and rap in general and used it to his advantage to promote overwhelmingly Christian values which the album clearly demonstrates. You are cherry picking. Donda is a Christian album.

Never said that. It's import derives from it's wide reach in terms of listener-ship. As OP demonstrates, many people will at least contemplate Christianity by listening to it which is quite a feat to achieve as a contemporary pop artist.

Considering Kanye is a Calvinist who attends a John MacArthur church plant you would have to start with The Gospel According to Jesus by John MacArthur and then Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion.
