What are you interested in? Do you have a time period or topic that interests you? You seem pretty keen on Christian history, so there are a few books that discuss that I could recommend you.
Or, I could recommend you books that talk more about the craft of history, the practice of the discipline. These books would (hopefully) show that history really isnt one big fixed thing, but a series of smaller, but interconnected, debates about what really happened.
The trick with all this is to figure out what you really like. There are 10,000 history books out there that will put you to sleep, I promise you. Weve gotta figure out which ones wont. So, what interests you?
I recommend reading this book. It's a fantastic (and true!) story about how much damage is caused by Holocaust deniers, and the great lengths actual historians must go through in order to repair the damage caused by people who believe and espouse such nonsense.
If the OP is interested in more about Irving and what it means to be a holocaust denier, I would recommend Lying About Hitler by Richard Evans and the book that lead to the trial it covers, Denying the Holocaust by Deborah Lipstadt

You might want to look elsewhere. This sub, and site, aren't very accepting of Holocaust skepticism.
I'd suggest reading actual books on the subject. Here's some places to start:

Or visit /r/Holocaust for some community based skepticism
Here you go dummy, a book literally detailing point by point what a piece of shit David Irving is: https://www.amazon.com/Lying-About-Hitler-Richard-Evans/dp/0465021530/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489125012&sr=8-1&keywords=lying+about+hitler#
