I highly recommend The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. However, it is not for the faint of heart...nor for the weak of stomach. It's a startling, moral book that questions humanity, spirituality, and faith. It involves religion, science fiction/space exploration, and the possibility of alien life forms, but you don't have to be a believer in any of those things to enjoy this book. Just be warned: it is not an easy read.
