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...

Disciples of the Street The Promise of the Hip Hop Church
by
Eric Guitierrez
Dave King
, July 19, 2008
Eric Gutierrez has written an original and important book. The odd-couple pairing of Kurtis Blow and the Reverend Timothy Holder of Trinity Episcopal Church in the south Bronx is a scoop any journalist would drool over--and the author, an accomplished journalist, does this story proud. But Gutierrez also brings another element to his narrative: a keen sense of the spiritual and scriptural precedents for Father Timothy's mission. The result is a fascinating and provocative narrative, much more interesting than most readers will expect and much more profound than its scoopworthy subject matter initially suggests. Highly recommended.

Our Town A Heartland Lynching A Haunted Town & the Hidden History of White America
by
Cynthia Carr
Dave King
, May 11, 2006
Race is still the most controversial topic in America, so it?s easy to see why this book has touched a few nerves. Still, I?m inclined to agree with the many reviewers who found in Our Town a profound and interesting investigation of our national character. For though this book begins with a lynching, its broader theme is certainly the question of how we live together, how we get along, and whether we still deserve the ?melting pot? label we?re so very proud of. Ultimately, Carr?s conclusion is hopeful, and along the way she delivers a journalistic detective story that?s nothing short of a page turner. Essential reading for anyone interested in the state of America today.
