Any good books that a new ea should read?

My lodge let me borrow a book called the builders. It was written by the Scottish Rite. Great book so far.
The Builders by Joseph Fort Newton? An excellent book, but it was written by one man and published by the GL of Iowa.

As I look back to my fist post in the thread. I remember the feeling of anxiety and excitement. Having been passed to a FC and raised as a MM I want to thank everyone for their support and encouragement. It's been amazing fun enlightening journey that's is on going. I look forward to the next 50 years.
To those that were being passed from degrees and commented in the post. It would be great to see how everyone is and how it went for them.
Hope to hear form you all again.
Enjoy the trip.

Don't say "It's been" because that indicates past tense. Masonry will continue to be an enlightening journey your entire life if you allow it. Whether it be ritual, spiritual, or just simply the people you meet, every day in Masonry is an amazing journey.

Very wise words!!!
I ran into a friend who I didn't know was a mason. We didn't get to chat long before I had to run, but he told me how he hadn't been to his lodge in years because he got bored with the meetings that went over and over the same things while running late into the evenings. He felt he just wasn't getting anything from masonry anymore. He's a great guy of outstanding character but it saddened me that he had given up and moved on.

I was raised as an MM 4 Aug 14. It's been a wonderful journey so far and I'm told that it just keeps getting better. I can already tell that joining the Craft is one of the best things that I have ever done.

Thank you much. My nervous level in matters of proficiency examination for the second degree was far less than in the first. Hopeful that in the third it will be knocked down even further. Just appreciative that my nervous laugh has not manifested itself in either the first or second.

Just raised to Master Mason. Have proficiency to complete now. Third degree was a lot of fun.
