The most important book to have on hand this Holiday season is Choosing Honor, An American Woman's Search for God, Family and Country in an Age of Corruption. (http://www.emeraldbookcompany.com/authors/ficalora/) Choosing Honor is a 2009 National Best Books Award Finalist in both the Religion: General and the Current Events: Social/Political categories. Earlier this year, Choosing Honor was also named a Mom's Choice Award Honoree, an Eric Hoffer finalist book, and the 2009 Premier Book Award's Second Place Book of the Year in the Religion/Spirituality category. If your family gatherings thrive on intellectual, social, political and religious discussions then Choosing Honor is the "brain food" you want to bring to the table this year.

In Choosing Honor, Ficalora, who was raised as an "IBM Baby," details how corruption has and is forcing a reconfiguration of our monetary system. Choosing honor, Ficalora tells us, requires us to pay attention to the "mind games" at work in our society, games that undermine our authority, and our freedom.

After reading Choosing Honor, Tara Paterson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtNptl0AlF4), founder of the Mom's Choice Awards (http://browse.barnesandnoble.com/browse/nav.asp?No=50&;N=800009280&Ne=800009278&visgrp=nonfiction) said, "I had no idea when I sat down to read Choosing Honor how powerful it would be. I honor Ficalora for having the courage to put this out there. A lot of people wouldn't have done it for fear of their safety. It's a sign of how things are slowly changing and truth is beginning to surface." Ficalora says in the pages of Choosing Honor, "We are at a crossroads. It is up to us, We the People, to choose who we are as a nation." Are we going to be true to our national ideals of liberty and self-determination or are we going to submit to government/corporate authority. Our nation's honor was entrusted to a select cartel of bankers who betrayed the trust. Now that the trust has been betrayed, Ficalora tells us, it is up to us, "We the People," to get our money back.

A reader's review posted on Amazon.com credits Choosing Honor as a book (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Daps&;field-keywords=choosing+honor&x=0&y=0)with the potential to do a lot of good for many people. Choosing Honor, Ron Flint of Anacortes, Washington, says is, "full of good information! It's a self help book, but it's also like taking a fascinating class about the human condition all in one." We at Avail Press could not agree more. Choosing Honor is a book that reveals the root problems of our times and Choosing Honor offers sound solutions that readers can use to take positive action in the face of today's social and economic crisis.
