A great book. It covers 365 topics so it pairs very well with your morning coffee. It's well researched, thoughtfully written, and covers aspects of Freemasonry in which Brethren and Worshipful Brethren alike can find value
Very interesting book to help you advance on your masonic knowledge day by day! definitelly recommend!
There is a good reason some lodges give new initiates this book as part of the welcome pack, it answers so questions you have on Freemasonary, and so many questions you didn't even know you should be asking on freemasonary, but should do. I found it such a great source, for the correct answers, it really helped me understand what I went though, the why to everything else around it. If you are new to Masonary you need this, if you are not, you still need this very handy reference and reminder tool to keep you focused on ehy So looking forward yo the next to continue my learning.
The book that helped to guide my Masonic journey, one step at a time. A little bit of learning every day. Well written and very much enjoyed.
An absolutely excellent book. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from it. So much so that I gave a copy to each candidate whom I initiated during my year as master. Every lodge should gift a copy to every initiate. It makes them feel welcomed.
The perfect book for anyone either starting out in freemasonry or who is interested to start their journey in learning more about Masonic symbolism. Very well written and entertaining too!
A great book I strongly recommend to all newly initiated brethren to aid in the development of masonic leaning, laying a foundation of knowledge, etiquette, and trivia for brethren to build upon and to encourage curiosity and promote further questions about our craft. 365 bite size masonic lessons to ensure you are never without a daily advancement, and helps start a healthy habit of progression.

This book was liking having your own mentor in your pocket. Bro A.B Rother has certainly done every new initiate into Freemasonry a favour with this book. Meant to be read once a day and to be digestible. Don't do what I did and read all of it in 2 weeks! Very well thought out and carefully written for the newest of brethren. This should be a staple of any mentor or initiate pack. 10/10 Read!
This book was, and still is, of immense value to me. It guided my first steps as a Freemason, opening my eyes to the different perspectives within English Freemasonry. Brother A B Rother has a rare gift for communicating strong values through simple, clear words. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
This book was the perfect companion for my initiation, being the first masonic book I've ever read it reads in simple to understand language, very informative and delivers bitesize knowledge for the new mason. An exceptional aid to a new brother highly recommend as a gift to initiates the same way I received it.
