New Masons quickly learn that many unfamiliar words and phrases are employed in our symbolic teachings. Our words are not haphazardly selected, but have deep symbolic and historic significance. Masonic Word and Phrases is a wonderful collection of the most often used words and phrases in Masonry. Presented in an easy to read and understandable format, this work provides any student of Masonry with a clear understanding of the meaning of our many phrases and words so seldom used outside of Masonry. This work is valuable to the experienced Mason as a quick and handy reference guide. For the new Mason, however, it is an indispensable work and one that should augment any Masonic education program.

The papers in this book explore the soul of Masonic Alchemy and why our symbols, rituals, and teachings are tools of actual initiation and not a club's curious joining ceremony. The friendly, but empty Masonic lodge meetings are just not enough. These papers have been independently published in other places or recorded in videos, but they are collected here because together they deliver a very clear message: we can be more than we are. We can grow, improve, and evolve. The choice is always ours.

The world and everything in it is changing. Freemasonry is facing new challenges. How will we deal with them? Will we rage at things that have changed our plans? Will we be paralyzed in confusion by the changes? We can't choose or know what will happen tomorrow, but we can choose how we will respond. We can use the many lessons of Freemasonry as a guide for personal betterment - a guide for living better in society. By putting the teachings to use, we can be wiser, more honorable, and happier humans. It's all our choice.

This is a very personal book. In this book are private thoughts, feelings, and experiences with the goal of contributing to a collective body of possible aid for the seeking Freemason. There is hope. There is still Freemasonry.

Masonic author and historian, Michael R. Poll gives us a wonderful collection of some of his most thought provoking Masonic papers and lectures. From rethinking long held beliefs regarding the early development of the Scottish Rite to the problems and needs of today's Freemasonry, this book provides education, enlightenment and enjoyment.

A Lodge at Labor follows in a theme with books such as, Measured Expectations and A Masonic Evolution. The goal is simple - to provide a view of the problems that we face in today's Freemasonry and offer opinions on solving these problems. The one goal is to inspire the reader to realize that Freemasonry is far more than a social club. Once this is realized, then those who are willing can do what is needed to bring the Age of Enlightenment back to Freemasonry. We can elevate our lodges into centers of education designed to help us be more than we are and give us Light in a sometimes dark world.
