Practical Freemasonry - Front OnlyPRACTICAL FREEMASONRY: Accessible Philosophy for Working-Class Schlubs

Practical Freemasonry is the backbone title of this entire series. It’s an easy read, designed to give to new brothers upon their raising, or for anyone interested in the bones of masonic philosophy.

This book focuses entirely on the core symbols of freemasonry: our working tools. The 24-inch Gauge, Gavel, Square, Plumb, Level, Trowel, and Compasses are all explained in an “ah-hah!” way, clearly explaining the concepts, and how we can use these concepts to improve our lives and understanding of ourselves.

The BullwarkTHE BULWARK: A Handbook for Relief, Truth, and Brotherly Love

Supporting each other is the greatest calling of a Freemason, but too often brothers slip through the cracks of our foundation. They stay home, they drop out of communication, or worse.

The Bulwark addresses this issue offering direction and tools for supporting one another as mentors, brothers, confidants, and friends.

The BoomThe Boom/Bust: Retaining Brothers & Rising Up

Every lodge sees it. We welcome a brand new brother, someone young and fresh and excited, only to see him walk out the door a few months later, or worse yet, no one notices he even left until his dues goes into arrears. 

How do we retain brothers? We explore this in The Boom/Bust. What makes a lodge? What breaks a lodge? What is our member retention point and how do we make a new brother a Freemason for life?

What is the practical end goal of Freemasony? Is it just Rites, Shrine, get a Hiram Award and then make it to your own Masonic funeral on time? What is success in the Craft and what is the roadmap to reach it?
