The Builders
The Builders: A Story and Study of Freemasonry, by Joseph Fort Newton

This is a general survey of Masonic origins, history and philosophy. It was at one time given to every new Mason in Iowa, probably a better choice than Morals and Dogma, which is almost three times as long and much more difficult reading. 
This is a scholarly but approachable treatment of Masonry and will be enlightening both to practicing Freemasons and a general audience. Newton is a rationalist and deflates claims of an ancient origin for Masonry per se; rather he illuminates the historical precedents of the group.  Newton claims that the world has benefited greatly because of the Masonic ideals of liberty, fraternity and equality. The Builders tells the Masonic side of this story.

 It is important read for gaining a greater appreciation of the degree itself.

What is Freemasonry?
What is Freemasonry? 
 An E-book on the ancient and Honorable Fraternity, 
compiled by: Greg Stewart

With the release of Dan Brown’s book “The Lost Symbol” and the questions it will raise about the modern day fraternity, the goal of this e-book is to make available some of the lesser discussed details of the contemporary fraternity.
Many books have been written about what Brown’s new novel may include such as: Masonry’s “occult” symbolism, the assertion of its quasi religious practice, the connections between Freemasonry and the founding fathers, and the bizarre layout of Washington D.C.  Each of these texts offer a glimpse into the present tense fraternity, as they ask the same questions that many masons themselves ask.  But those books fall short of answering questions put forth by those without any prior knowledge of the craft.  That is why this book is a must read for anyone asking the question “What is Freemasonry?”
