Overview
Choosing Honor is an award winning book that provides a curious and uninhibited take on modern politics and economics: an unexpected tonic for what ails the United States and in affect the World. Add a heavy sprinkle of pop references from Mr. T to Pink Floyd to the mix and Choosing Honor presents a spiritual remedy for the dishonor and economic woes plaguing the United States that borrows heavily from Jewish mysticism to present an alternative Christian vision. In this book honor and morality are derived from a set of ten ""Absolutes,"" similar to the Kabbalah, a.k.a, The Tree of Life. The author, suggests these Absolutes be applied not only to individuals but to nations. She calls upon every American to pay attention. This takes on especially great importance in the United States, a land ruled by the people, for the people. The author draws conclusions readers might expect from someone long steeped in the political left. The author's economic views, however, are surprisingly conservative or libertarian in origin. The resulting call to action is unusual. Individuals are encouraged to accept their role as the nation's destined saviors.
