Choosing Honor

Mary T. Ficalora provides a well-informed discussion of world politics and economics, highlighting the social responsibility and power of the individual to effect change by taking ownership of global issues. Choosing Honor serves as a guide to abandoning apathy, reclaiming personal honor, and achieving a messianic consciousness to promote individual and community action through a series of secular absolutes.

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.

Choosing Honor focuses a fascinating ten-point spiritual lens on corruption—"a departure from what is pure and correct"—in the United States today and shouts: Pay attention! Get involved and take back our country and our honor. Readers may not always agree with Ficalora's application of Kabbalah's Ten Absolutes as a panacea for society's ills, but her message to strive for a higher consciousness and unconditional love, wonderfully underscored by classic rock 'n' roll lyrics, rings true globally.

The US Review of Books

Ficalora’s book is a curious and uninhibited take on modern politics.

The author urges close attentiveness and above all gathering the courage to do what's best for the future: "Honor is standing for the good of all in the face of forces that are beyond our control. Honor requires us to stand up in spite of our fear." . . . the overall argument gains tensile strength from excellent outside source material.

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. Midwest Book Review

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 right" 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 on in your life, Choosing Honor is an urgent call for action.
