Leading From the East:
Innovative Strategies for Masonic Lodges
By Christophor Galloway, PM
The rough and perfect ashlar is symbolic of a person's spiritual and moral journey in life. Ancient temple builders chipped away at the rough parts of stone to fit them for use. As we walk through life, we consistently make improvements by chipping away at the vices and superfluities that prevent us from being perfect. Ultimately there is no such thing as the perfect person, but that does not mean we do not keep trying.
Educating ourselves by reading books is one action we can do to improve ourselves.
Therefore, Perfect Ashlar Publishing's mission is to help authors get their work into readers' hands who seek to learn and improve themselves.

Light Reflection:
Philosophical Thoughts and Observations of a Texas Freemason
By Bradley E. Kohanke, PM
Freemasonry in the United States was arguably at its peak during the decade following the first World War. The Masonic writings of the day were eloquent, easy to read, concise, and filled with thought-provoking opinions and observations. This was the model after which Bradley E. Kohanke patterned his writings. For nearly 10 years, Brother Kohanke, a Past Master, former District Deputy Grand Master, and former Grand Orator for the Grand Lodge of Texas wrote a monthly article for his Lodge’s newsletter. The essays contained within the pages of this book are based upon those articles and harken back to a time when Freemasonry inspired a passion for philosophical thought.

A Mason's Journey - Noah's Quest
Volume I: Trial at the Gate
By William H. Boyd, PM
A Mason’s Journey – Noah’s Quest” Volume I, Trial at the Gate,” is a fictional look at a masonic journey, and it is unusual because it starts at an unexpected point in a mason’s journey. It is an introduction to Brother Noah Lewis as he reconciles the books of his life and discovers the unseen forces at work, guiding him along his journey. Above all, it contextualizes and illustrates some of the ideas and concepts the author has believed and have described in a variety of other non-fiction vehicles and may, perhaps, be the first in a series intended to animate the tenets of freemasonry through the fictional quest of Brother Noah Lewis. We all have beliefs about our call to accountability and how we may ultimately learn the value of our labors.
A Mason's Journey - Noah's Quest
Volume II: Eternal Awakening
​
By William H. Boyd, PM
In book two of the series Noah has come upon The Gate, he had been presented with poignant scenes that were steeped in meaning and were obviously intended to impact him in certain ways. But there was so much
he still did not know about this reality and what, if any, control he held. He did not know if or how he should interact with these scenes as they unfolded around him. And he did not know if the scenes were real. Or maybe they were allegories for events from his life gone by? Perhaps they are intended to represent new lessons, meant to teach him further lessons?
Devotion to St. Constantine the Great
Emperor, Convert, and Devout Follower of Christ
​
By Garron C. Daniels
Emperor Constantine the Great is a figure that some throughout history have deemed controversial. Yet, his significance and conversion to Christianity have impacted the faith in ways we will never fully understand. While he was a flawed sinner like any other, he still was the primary force that helped bring Christianity from an oppressed faith to being the religion of the Empire. Constantine was truly a Saintly figure who lived to serve not just as an Emperor but as a mere servant to the Almighty. Because of this, we must seriously and sincerely believe that Emperor Constantine the Great should be considered St Constantine, an emperor, convert, and a devout follower of Christ.
Guard Well Our Craft
A Collection of Masonic Writings
​
By William H. Boyd
Within the pages of this book are articles that capture the external and internal threats to the craft, the external being the effects from the societal and cultural changes occurring around us, and the internal being the implementation of what we call improvements based on a misdiagnosis of our perceived ailments. Guard Well Our Craft was chosen as the title of this book because our fraternity is designed in such a way that changes to any one part risk creating unintended changes or damage to the other parts. While society is impacting Freemasonry, this book makes a case for the idea that masonry, in its designed form, is the solution for many problems affecting the society around us.
