Everything you wanted to know ...

But we're afraid to ask. I was curious about freemasonry. After listening to this, not only do I want to join, but I know why I want to and how to join. The history of it all puts everything into perspective. I highly recommend it.

This book tells almost all

This book dispels a lot of rumors and lies about Freemasonry. Easy to listen. Good information for those considering joining a "Secret Society" that really isn't too secret....lol
