PRACTICAL FREEMASONRY: Accessible Philosophy for Working-Class Schlubs

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 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?
