Can you suggest the good book to explain the Trinity? Thanks.
Sproul's Crucial Questions Series has a volume called "What is the Trinity". Best of all it is still being offered for free.

I thought of another one that I have not read yet but recently picked up since it was on sale for 73% off - https://www.logos.com/product/31414/god-the-holy-trinity-reflections-on-christian-faith-and-practice
My students have really enjoyed Fred Sanders' The Deep Things of God (he is not a relative, if you're interested) and Michael Reeves' Delighting in the Trinity. They're both quite good - though not free...and not, as far as I can tell yet on Logos.
These look like good reads. Perhaps you could make a suggestion to Faithlife. - https://community.logos.com/forums/28.aspx

I would second this suggestion. There's likely not another theologian out there who can make complex ideas as understandable as Dr. Sproul. And I can't think of a more complex idea than the Trinity, unless you want to argue for the hypostatic union.
In my opinion, no one can completely explain the Trinity, because finite beings can't quite grasp it all. But Dr. Sproul will get about as close as anyone can.

I notice Fred Sanders' The Deep Things of God is published by Crossway so this should be possible to get into Vyrso though I would much prefer a Logos formatted book. Michael Reeves' Delighting in the Trinity is an IVP book to it should be a real possibility of getting into Logos format.
There is an article by Michael Reeves on same topic here; http://www.ligonier.org/learn/articles/delighting-trinity/ and a podcast also here: http://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/delighting-in-the-trinity-an-interview-with-michael-reeves.
There is NO ONE who can explain the Trinity like James White- I have read almost everything- but this book sets it in stone in your mind and heart.
Saint Augustine: The Trinity
Saint Thomas Aquinas Summa Theologica (Several sections on the Trinity and more.)
There are summaries of Aquinas' content in several other resources including Peter Kreft and Gilles Emery.
You may also be interested in John Henry Newman's treatment in Arians of the Fourth Century where he summarizes patristic writers understanding of the Trinity and discusses the misinterpretations thereof that the Church struggled with in the first few centuries.
I would also recommend Michael Reeves' Delighting in the Trinity. It would be great to get that in Logos.

And I would heartily 2nd that - but there are definitely men who do explain it better than others- and the fact that some through their study of the languages, history, etc.- lend more to the discussion especially that which comes from biblical exegesis.
