The Masonic Initiate: A Guide to Light

Good

Well written, well laid out. Explains many things in fine detail. I would recommend this book for anyone about to enter the Brotherhood.

This short read is an absolutely outstanding interpretation and explanation of the initiation ritual of an Entered Apprentice into the Craft of Masonry. I read it in less than a day. The author's writing style in short, crisp sentences, as opposed to long-winded, academic verbiage, makes the explanation of concepts and symbols completely understandable. I especially liked the part on creative visualization. As a Mason of ten years, I found more insight in this short book than I have in any Lodge program. The author even explains why Lodges are lacking in this education within these pages! I highly recommend this book by Brother Joyner to any new EA or any Master Mason still trying to figure out how to map his personal journey. I rank The Masonic Initiate right up there with another of my favorite books on deciphering Masonic origins: The Craft Unmasked by Brother Dr. John Nagy. Looking forward to reading your upcoming books on the next two degrees, Brother Joyner!

Do you really want to know why your Lodge attendance is so low? This is one book you need to read.

Really enjoyed it, quick read packed full of "great light" into the degree.

enjoyed reading every page, it"s a treasure of ideas and concepts relating to freemasonary.

The book read very well and the section on meditation was very enlightening. It makes me wonder could this become part of a lodge meeting as a way to peer into ourselves.

thank you

Fantastic read from start to finish. If you are a new EA or not with spiritual intentions in joining the craft I would highly recommend this material
