Greetings Lioness Star. For me, to recommend one book to someone who want to get on the path of knowledge of self and purpose would be the Kebra Nagast. Most people I run into are white and are somewhat familiar with whitey's KJV. The Kebra Nagast ties Jah all together very well, for someone as InI was familiar with KJV before knowing the truth of Jah.
The book, or few verses of one, that ultimately explains knowledge of self and purpose, would be the bible, specifically two chapters, John 16 and Acts 2. Those two chapters explain how Yashewa spoke of the coming "spirit of truth" that would guide us in all things, that came in Acts 2. When that spirit decended, it filled hearts of devout men from every nation, understood in every tongue. No bible was needed as the spirit lives inside one's heart, guiding them daily. Once that is overstood, then the Kebra Nagast gives one overstanding of how Ethiopia and Sheba and Solomon and the son Lord chose to take over Solomon's kingdom after Lord took it away from him. That helps one to overstand how babylon rides the beast and the very nature of how Jesuits love of money began all this evil since before slavery began.
To InI, being guided daily by that spirit of truth, Jah's spirit, fleeing from spirit of evil, is what brings overstanding of 'self' and purpose.
Blessings from Jah RASTAFARI
