The Complete Idiot's Guide to Freemasonry is for everyone that wants to know or even think that they know what freemasonry is about.
Dr. Brent Morris has
been a mathematician with the U.S. government since 1975. He currently
serves as executive of the Cryptologic Mathematician Program at the
National Security Agency. He served as U.S. representative to the
International Standards Organization (ISO) in the area of computer
security.
Customer Review:
Dr. Morris has done the world of Freemasonry a great service by writing
this book and, through his erudition and scholarship, he has also
advanced the cause of knowledge and learning generally, for which
everyone ought to be thankful. This is by far the BEST, one volume
reference book on Freemasonry published to date. It is an excellent,
all purpose book. It covers all aspects of American and international
Freemasonry, it discusses, history, rituals, anti-Masonry, and even
includes a photo section classifying and explaining a wide assortment
of Masonic symbols, emblems, and regalia. Perfect for the non-Mason who
wants to know "what's really going on," perfect for the new Master
Mason seeking more light, and equally perfect for longtime members of
the Craft who have forgotten more than they knew, and wish to have a
handy, easy to read but astonishingly thorough book on hand. Thank you,
Brent Morris, for this superbly done book. Highly recommended to all!

AMERICAN FREEMASONS AND THE SPIRIT OF FREEDOM
Every
Grand Lodge takes pride in the accomplishments of its famous members: The names
of brothers Rudyard Kipling, Wolfgang A. Mozart, Johann W. von Goethe, Simón
BolÃvar, Henry Ford, and George Washington are just a few that immediately come
to mind. American freemasons, however, take particular pride in some of their
early members, like Washington, because of their dedication to the spirit of
freedom. It is an infectious spirit that has infused all of the craft and has
spread around the world, making freemasonry feared by tyrants, dictators, and
those who would deny people their basic rights. ...
