Not recently, but CS Lewis' Mere Christianity is one of my all time favorites.
If anybody has reading suggestions on the ontological/philosophical explanation of God, I'd happily take them. Something that explains*why*God exists or should exist

I’d also add, Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem will do more for your understanding of God and the Christian faith than any other book I know of (other than the Bible). Read it cover to cover, all 1100 pages, and you will never regret it. Time well spent to be sure.

I’ll start - “Delighting in the Trinity” by Michael Reeves

At Data Architect 1: actually, Delighting in the Trinity might have what you’re looking for. It explains how each person of the Trinity must exist in union with the rest. Both before and for all time. They cannot exist independently of each other, the one makes the existence of the others necessary. As far as philosophical arguments concerning Gods existence, Aquinas is a classic author on the subject. Conversely, Kierkegaard would be an interesting read as well, arguing that one cannot prove God’s existence other than by what creation makes plainly evident - essentially Gods existence is only manifested and believed by those to whom he reveals himself

I'm data architect 1. Thanks op for the suggestions, I ended up going with a book by Alvin Planting called The Nature of Necessity, which is exactly what I've been looking for

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

We’ve been attending a church for about 6 months now and trying to decide if it’s our church home. The only reason I’m hesitant is because people don’t seem to engage with us as much as I expected.
