Book Description
Freemasonry began with stonemasons in the Middle Ages experiencing the decline of cathedral building. Some guilds invited honorary memberships to boost their numbers. These usually highly educated new members practiced symbolic or "speculative Freemasonry." The new Masonic lodges and learned societies offered their growing numbers of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish members an understanding of deism, Newtonian science and representative government, and of literature and the fine arts. This work describes how Masons on both sides of the Atlantic were mostly either enlighteners, political reformers or moderate revolutionaries. They offered minimal support to radical revolutionary ideas and leaders.

Book Description
A new generation of seekers have inherited the craft, desirous of excellence, and without tolerance for ignorance or apathy. Freemasonry is being challenged from the inside with a call to restore Masonic excellence and revive the fundamentals of speculative Masonry. A philosophical companion for all Masons, The Renaissance of Freemasonry offers the sincere seeker a guidebook for Masonic introspection. By solemn contemplation of the topics addressed, a Mason will have cause to re-assess his perceptions and beliefs regarding the fraternity, thus rekindling his passion for Freemasonry, his quest for knowledge, and his search for sublime light. The first edition of this book was published in paperback and received overwhelmingly positive feedback. The Virginia Masonic Herald reviewed the first edition, giving it an A+ rating, citing "Worshipful Brother Brunelle provides a valuable, inspiring guide to Brethren seeking deeper and more spiritual Light in Masonry...The size of a pocket calendar, Brother Brunelle's finely honed book will enhance any Brother's Masonic thinking and learning in the most positive manner."
