The Chamber of Truth; Quest for the Jewel, is written by local brother John Burchfield. I got my copy last month, started reading that day and finished it the very next day. I simply could not put it down. John's style of writing beautifully captures you to the point that you feel like you're no longer reading, but just imagining the events unfold in your mind's eye. The Chamber of Truth is a modern-day depiction of the Hiram Abif story based in the middle east with characters you could easily associate with shows like NCIS and Criminal Minds.

Stephen Dafoe produces an honest and engaging look at the disappearance of William Morgan, an event that haunted Freemasons for years to come and perhaps continues to do so today. His excellent narrative style offers a readable and intriguing mystery. The book is, however, not a work of fiction. It is backed profusely with factual documentation given in the book, yet in a fashion so as not to disrupt the enjoyment of the story. Dafoe's suppositions are rare and only created with solid documentation. His conclusions on what possibly occurred to Morgan are well-reasoned in light of the facts and face up to possibilities some may find uncomfortable... (Review by Anonymous)

This book clearly demonstrates that Cagliostro was ahead of his time in announcing the origins of Freemasonry. Every Freemason who is interested in the origns of the Craft should read this book- even if they have no interest in Cagliostro's Egyptian Rite itself. Cagliostro was a true champion of freedom and liberty, which ultimately resulted in his early demise. This book is a great edition to the world of Masonic research. (Review by Lancer Knight)

Hidden knowledge takes many shapes in "The Lost Symbol." Alchemists, Egyptians and rabbi sages are invoked; so are the U.S. government's eavesdropping tactics in the war on terror, superstring theory and the New Agey-sounding study of noetics, which Katherine believes one day will enable the mind to bring about real changes in the physical world... The wait is over. "The Lost Symbol," the follow-up to Dan Brown's 2003 mega-seller, "The Da Vinci Code," is here -- and you don't have to be a Freemason to enjoy it (although it wouldn't hurt). (Review by The Los Angeles Times)
