An excellent insight on the Scottish Rite degrees with the author's individual stand on each degree based on his personal journey. It references other books that I also have that, just like the author, all Scottish Rite Masons should read: Morals and Dogma, A bridge of light, etc. Excellent read!

    As a Scottish Rite Reunion Director for 13 years now and a 33IGH for the past 5 I have among the books I recommend to others and I use several times a year to research and prepare for our Reunions are known as "classics" in Masonic Circles. What is in this book is a melding of the core of Blue Lodge and Scottish Rite Teachings into a summary and exploration of many of the core aspects of Masonry and Scottish Rite Masonry. It is a worthy addition to any Scottish Rite members library and research. For those that have just gone through or if it has been many years from the last exposure this book will reignite or fan the flame of knowledge and exploration into the deeper teachings. It is also a good primer for those interested in furthering their experience into the Masonic Experience of the Scottish Rite.

    This book is well written in that it provides an understanding of what the teaching found in the Scottish Rite degrees 4-32. I have made that travel and I was pleased with the materials provided. Well worth the time to read even if your not a member of the Society. I would not be surprised if you started the road to an interesting and enlighting growth of as brother.

    My husband just finished reading this book. These are his remarks:

    Like the author, I, too, has completed the Scottish Rite Master Craftsman Correspondence Course. In fairness to the author, he had a huge amount of material to cover in his book and that is not an easy task. But he would have been well served by a good proof reader and an editor. Too many times the wrong word is used–fulfilled instead of filled, wicket instead of wicked, fools instead of tools in the phrase “the working tools.” Some of the sentences are very awkward and would have been greatly improved by a good editor. The grammar was not correct in numerous places. For example (P. 105), “how one conducts themselves” should have been “how one conducts himself (or oneself).” The book gives the impression of having been rushed into print as a first draft. It is a good idea for a book, including the title taken from a poem by Robert Frost, but a little extra work up front would have made it a better book.
