My Book! My Opinion! or Thoughts Garnered on My Masonic Journey
by MW Bro. Hugh Young Grand Master of The Grand Lodge of Alberta 1997-1998
After more than 40 years of being an active Freemason, the author has put his thoughts about Freemasonry down in black and white.
His knowledge and understanding of the Craft shines throughout this book and while you may agree or disagree with some parts, it will make you think about aspects of Freemasonry that perhaps you prefer not to think about.
Those who have previewed the book often make the statement that they agree with most things in the book BUT... at which point the author reminds them of the title of the book "My Book! My Opinion!"
A book worth the reading by Officers, Past Masters, in fact, by anyone who has an interest in the on-going and future welfare of his Lodge.

My Book,
My Opinion!
The book has been on the market for a couple of months and has sold well. The following are some of the readers' comments.
"Why didn't you write this book BEFORE I became Master and not after"
"I really enjoyed the chapter on the Masons growing old."
"We need to discuss some of the things in the book" (No we don't - My book, my opinion!)
"I like some parts of it" (I never asked about the other parts - My book, my opinion)
"The first book about Freemasonry that I would like my wife to read" (never written with that in mind)
One Lodge purchased six copies for distribution to senior officers. Another Lodge obtained six and re-sold them to their senior officers and some members.
The book has been well-accepted. To purchase your copy, click on the webstore link and DO IT NOW!
