Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Lincolns Battle with God A Presidents Struggle with Faith & What It Meant for America
by
Stephen Mansfield
Jessica Dahl
, January 01, 2013
For a man who is revered by almost everyone throughout American history, "Lincoln's Battle with God" shows a side of our president that most people do not know about. Lincoln's struggle with depression, atheism, and the 1800 spin machine is rarely talked about in American history classes. This books uses references, digs through archives, and takes the reader on a journey through Lincoln's dark side to reveal how God can overcome anything.

Big Burn Teddy Roosevelt & the Fire That Saved America
by
Timothy Egan

, January 15, 2010
Who living in the Pacific Northwest could imagine our beautiful states without National/State Forest designations, trails, parks, protected wildlife, and camping fees? The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America is an incredible biography of how and why Teddy Roosevelt set up the forestry service with his close advisor and friend Gifford Pinchot (who the Mt. St. Helen's national Park was named after) and the mismanagement and corruption of the forestry division by William Taft (a President I didn't know anything about before reading this book) after Roosevelt's terms were up that effected towns across the Northwest, families, big and small business, and American politics. If you want a good look at an era that isn't typically taught in US History classes and an idea of the Pacific Northwest's rich history, I highly recommend this detailed look at one event that shaped future forestry and wildfire practices, big business dealings, and what led to America's most beautiful region (in my opinion), The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America is a book that you won't be able to put down.
