The Builders by Joseph Fort Newton
The Builders is a must read for all masons! Joseph Fort Newton lays the foundations of Freemasonry in his writings of the history, meaning, and philosophy of the craft. The book goes beyond our humble beginnings in 1717 and takes the reader on a journey back in time to where Freemasonry began. The Builders is a clear text of the morals of Masonry and the structure of what fuels all men to be better- love for mankind, love for thy neighbor and discovering our individual divinity.
