Book: The Everything Freemasons Book Unlock The Secrets Of This Ancient And Mysterious Society by John Young
Coming from a long line of Freemasons and as a professional editor and historian, I devour virtually every Masonic title I can get my hands on. It's refreshing to finally see a major publisher produce an Introductory book on the subject that is extraordinarily well written and obviously objective.The Everything Freemasons Book examines all the aspects of this fascinating organization, including:
# Myths, legends, and stories of this ancient order-what's true and what's not
# The closely guarded secret rituals, symbols, and esoteric arts
# Who's who of freemasons-famous writers, scientists, statesmen, and more
# The freemasons' enemies-from the Catholic Church to the Nazis
# The many controversies surrounding this secret society-past and present
The section on the "Lucifer" controversy is remarkable. Virtually every other publication that touches on this subject gets it wrong, rehashing inaccurate Information as fact. The authors obviously performed serious research, and lay this discussion out more clearly and accurately than anything I've read. This element alone is more than worth the price of the book. The entire book shows the same dedication to research, accuracy, and authenticity.
For a subject that has been an important part of my life, I don't want to be coddled with the slanted fluff of too many current publications. "Everything Freemasons" offers highly accessible and entertaining reading along with solid, unbiased professional journalism.
For thousands of years, one clandestine organization has been rumored to control the destinies of men, cities, even nations. That secret society is Freemasonry. Some say the secret society dates back to the building of King Solomon's temple in 850 B.C. Others say the society owes its genesis to the Knights Templar, guardians of the Holy Grail.
Often traced back to the stonemason guilds of the Middle Ages, freemasons were supposedly to be found among all the great minds of the Renaissance, including DaVinci. Regardless, the movement really took off in the 1700s, when anyone who was anyone was a freemason-from George IV and Mozart to George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. Over the next hundred years or so, the freemasons claimed such illustrious personages as Darwin, FDR, Churchill, Louis Armstrong, General Douglas MacArthur, W.C. Fields, Herbert Hoover, and many others as members. Even today, Freemasonry boasts Masonic lodges all over the globe.
With The Everything Freemasons Book, you'll unlock the Solomon key in no time! This book was an excellent resource to come across--Well written and informative, without being "overly-scholarly". The subjects in the books are broken up into short sections, making it a great book for skimming over as well as reading cover-to-cover.
