Praise for Choosing Honor: "An unpredictable tonic for what ails America." --Kirkus Discoveries On a continuum between good and evil, most of us hover comfortably around the middle, never drifting too far toward either pole. In Choosing Honor, author Mary T. Ficalora takes readers on journeys deep into diametrically opposite worldviews, philosophies she terms "right makes might" and "might makes right." Seasoned with historical accounts, pop culture references, and uninhibited perspectives, Choosing Honor reveals how both approaches to life are constantly at work--and at war--in our social, economic, and political worlds. Calling for clarity, forgiveness, and a big dose of moral bravery, Ficalora argues that true honor is standing for the good of all in the face of forces beyond our control, and gathering the courage to do what's best for ourselves, our families, and our collective future. Offering positive, personal, and immediate issues to focus in your life, Choosing Honor is an urgent call for action.

To live with honor and to resist corruption is something most find harder to do day by day. "Choosing Honor: An American Woman's Search for God, Family, and Country in an Age of Corruption" is author Mary Ficalora's own personal quest to resist the temptations of the modern world. Stating that most people, while not being perfectly good, are not necessarily corrupted by the world, "Choosing Honor" proffers an optimistic view that the world is still moral. A healthy dose of philosophy from a Christian perspective is mixed in, making for a fine treatise on clarity, right makes might, war, politics, and many other topics. Highly recommended for community library social issues collections.

Choosing Honor
I am totally impressed with this book. It could save the world if enough people read it. Most books I only read once, but I'm certain I will read Choosing Honor at least twice, it's that full of good information! It's like a self help book, but it's also like taking a fascinating class about the human condition all in one.
At first I was a little put off by the Messiah talk and kabalah and absolutes and the light and other things I'd never heard of before, but after reading further it all began to hit me as to how in tune Ficalora is with our existence and what matters most. It's a book that has great potential to do a lot of good for many people. It includes many things most people have thoughts about, but Choosing Honor gives those thoughts more clarity. I was happy to read that falling asleep in front of the TV is a good thing, and that music is so important. I also love the section on racism, absolutely right on.
