{"product_id":"lodge-talks","title":"Lodge Talks","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy Mike Karn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA collection of 15 ten-minute talks that can be read at a Craft meeting, perhaps when a lodge has little or no work. A valuable asset to any lodge, this book will help stop those meetings where only lodge business is dealt with. A good way to retain attendance since most brethren do not appreciate this - and who would invite a guest to such a meeting? It's also important to make sure that you have a set of educational and inspiring talks to perform, just in case your candidate does not make it to the meeting. This is why the talks have been written so they may be read without any rehearsal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was written and designed to be the perfect set of easy to perform, straight forward and understandable talks. The subjects are all relevant to the Craft and not too heavy in content. Having tried and tested the talks on many occasions, the author has found they create interest and discussion, making for an engaging and often lively evening. Such talks can help to keep lodges active and to survive in somewhat difficult times. It seems that explaining more about the Craft can also assist in the retention of lodge members by keeping their interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTalks Include\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Five Points of Fellowship\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The Foundation Stone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Jacobs Ladder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Landmarks of the Order\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Music and Masonry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The Cable\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The Colours of the Craft\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The Great Lights\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The Initiates Preparation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The Hand of Friendship\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The Journey Begins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The Letter G\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The Master and the Gravel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The Masters Jewel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- What Happened to the Trowl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eA4 page format, 210 mm x 300 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLarge print for easy reading\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRing bound for public performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e64 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lewis Masonic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56386695102849,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0192\/1843\/2064\/files\/1455110698_4431.jpg?v=1791590338","url":"https:\/\/ravenmasonicbooks.co.uk\/products\/lodge-talks","provider":"Raven Masonic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
