Book Reviews of Meaning of Masonry
Book Review: GREAT BOOK!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I would strongly recommend this book for anyone joining the masons. This book goes into great detail about several aspects of masonry, and what it really means to be an "ancient and accepted freemason". Because of the time it was originally written, (1800's) it is not quite as easy to read as a readers digest short story. HOWEVER, that is what makes it all the more valuable in terms of insight and knowledge. This book has great detail of the many things that make up freemasonry, and as well it has a spiritual feeling to it that, unless you are joining or already are one, you may not respect or understand. A great book for you're library if you are planning on joining this great fraternityBook Review: Good Intro to the Fraternity
Summary: 3 Stars
As stated on page 47, "The very essence of the Masonic doctrine is that all men in this world are in search of something in their own nature which they have lost, but that with proper instruction and by their own patience and industry they may hope to find." Ironically, this was my intent behind buying this book. I read it cover to cover and all it did was whet my appetite to delve further into the craft to discover more insight and gain more understanding of what the fraternity represents. Good read, but takes a while to get through the historical hum-drum. Do not read while laying down. :-)Book Review: Horrible, hope your a genius
Summary: 1 Stars
Very bad, doesn't explain the meaning of the masonry. Do not waste your time unless your a genius about the masonry, I didn't understand anything about it and he didn't even say what they were.Book Review: Meaning of Masonry
Summary: 5 Stars
Having just been raised in 2011, I felt it necessary to review Wilmshurst's Meaning of Masonry and I think this book is a must read and must have for every brother of the order. I read most of the reviews on Amazon before I purchased this book and found it funny that the negative feedback were from those who do not understand Masonry. These essays are not for the novice, its for one with somewhat of a background, and Wilmshursts idea's come alive. If your not of the order, don't buy this book thinking its going to answer your questions, that is for Christopher Hodapp to do!Book Review: Meaning of Masonry
