Description: Mysteries revealed … truths uncovered … and myths dispelled.

What is the truth about the Masons suggested in Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code? Can Freemasonry really be dated back as far as Babylon? Did they really coordinate the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution? What really goes on at a Mason lodge during an initiation? Here is the real story behind the secret society that now boasts nearly five million members (and has included such illustrious fellows as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin), as revealed by a Master Mason.

• Offers a highly illustrated field guide to Masonic jewelry and symbols
• Includes further reading, a glossary, a list of famous Freemasons and information on Freemasonry in popular culture
• Morris is a Master Mason

Review Summary: A completely idiotic review Date: 2008-11-08
 
Details: The author of this book, S. Brent Morris, is a self-professed 33 degree Freemason of the Scottish Rite. In my book, that makes him ILLUMINATI. I'm sure brother Morris drinks pig's blood on Mondays, worships the severed head of a Muslim heretic on Tuesdays, meets Wall Street bankers on Wednesdays, and puts pentagrams in city plans on Thursdays. I'm not entirely sure what he does on Fridays, however. Drinks pig's blood again?

Also, I suspect Morris and his fellow Shriners have hatched a plan to kidnap Dan Brown, place a red fez on his head, and force him to drive a small, red car in Downtown Manhattan!!!

SOMEBODY PLEASE CALL THE MONTANA MILITIA!!!

:D

Just kidding, guys...
 
Review Summary: Like All Complete Idiots, Guides , there is truth in the title Date: 2008-06-22
 
Details: It seems there are copious books out there for true beginners or "idiots" as the book calls them. There are also numerous tombs for experts, what seems to be lacking are books for the indoctrinated, but non-experts among us. It seems that the Complete Idiots Guide Series is for those of us with absolutely no knowledge of the subject matter at hand, and it does a good job of whetting the appetite. However as a source for information and knowledge it is sorely lacking on all fronts. A quick Google search would provide a greater level of information at a more reasonable cost, and with greater authority.
 
Review Summary: Very Good Mini Encylclopedia of Masonry Date: 2008-06-04
 
Details: As much as I respect Brent Morris, I do think Hodapp's book is better because he really writes it as a layman--but this book is very good too. It's a toss up, but I have both so how can I go wrong. They are both invaluable books to explain and demystify Masonry throughout history and time. I hope these books will both help to move the Craft into the 21st century as it belongs with us as long as the world exists.
 
Review Summary: Great Book Date: 2008-02-12
 
Details: I enjoyed it thoroughly--did a great job of separating fact from fiction. I highly recommend it.
 
Review Summary: The Compete Idiots Guide To Freemasonry Date: 2008-01-01
 
Details: I have been a Freemason for over five years and have read over 40 Freemason related books. This book is the first one that comprehensively covers the entire Masonic field. I often lend this book to friends who are considering joining a Masonic Lodge.
