The title of this book starts with "The Newly-Made Mason." Great. So why is it so convoluted? At the time I tried reading this, I had been raised as a MM and was seeking further light. This book was recommended by an employee of the Philly PA Lodge. This book required a high degree of prior knowledge and research. It's title is excessively misleading. I will finish this book....eventually. First, I need a better understanding of what it all means. This is NOT an introductory book.
