Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023.

The Way: The Essential Classic of Opus Dei's Founder
by
Josemaria Escriva
mizpah
, November 02, 2008
I am giving this book to many of my loved ones for Christmas. Though St. Escriva writes clearly in language which will strike a conversation with lay people, the passages in this book cannot be passed over too quickly. As the pages of the chapters fell away I became more consumed in contemplation of this Saint's insight. It may help you find your way, or give you useful advice for every day life on your way.

Art Of Living The Classical Manual On Virtue Happiness & Effectiveness
by
Epictetus
mizpah
, August 23, 2008
Epictetus, who was crippled as a slave before gaining his freedom went on to write a text that can help the reader understand what is within their control and what is not. With this understanding then the reader can take action where it is called for and not even waste thought in those things beyond one's own control. Ancient but timeless. I did so enjoy it not only have I read it multiple times, I have given more than a dozen copies of this text away as gifts to readers of all ages (teens to seniors). Given the short thought-by-thought format of the text it is very digestible and reader friendly. It can be left to sit on a table or night stand and picked up at random to add a wealth of insight to any day.

by
Robert M Hamma
mizpah
, August 23, 2008
I keep a copy with me at work. From the windows of my office I can see the distant hills, but Hamma takes me there. When I need to touch the earth in a few moments I can read a passage and return to my work refreshed.

When the Trees Say Nothing Writings on Nature
by
Thomas Merton
mizpah
, August 23, 2008
No matter where you are, Merton will take you to places of divine beauty in nature. Be it the forest or the desert, the seasons, or gods creatures that endure them with us, all serve to remind us of the presence of God. The author paints not only pictures with words but captures glimpses of that source of feeling inside man which reflects the beauty of all god's creation.

Yogananda focuses on recognizing that which is divine in ourselves and those we love so that we can form true spiritual relationships. Only with a lasting love of god, and a mutual growth in this love, can any relationship, any love endure.

Love Freedom Aloneness The Koan of Relationships
by
Osho
mizpah
, August 23, 2008
If you are not rich as you are alone, how then can you give what you you do not have to another? Osho is true to his teachings in this text that one must love themself before they are able to truly love another. Without first having a love for yourself, you will continue to be in in need of love for others, begging for their affections. If you feel lonely, this is a book than can help you embrace the beauty of being alone, which then will make you so much richer in the company of others.
