Living the Craft, One Day at a Time
Freemasonry gives us extraordinary symbols, lessons, and working tools. But their real value is discovered when we carry them beyond the Lodge and put them to work in ordinary life.
The Everyday Mason was written to help make that journey practical—through simple daily habits that encourage us to pray, serve, connect, learn, and reflect.
Not another lesson to remember. A practice to live.
The Everyday Mason
Living the Craft, One Day at a Time
The Everyday Mason is built around a simple idea: the lessons of Freemasonry are most valuable when they become part of the way we live.
Through five daily practices—Prayer, Kindness, Brother Outreach, Learning, and Reflection—the book offers a practical framework for carrying the principles of the Craft beyond the Lodge and into everyday life.
It isn’t about adding more obligations to an already busy day. It’s about becoming more intentional with the moments already in front of us.
Five simple practices. One day at a time.
What Brothers Are Saying
“I have been a Master Mason for some 41 years and have never seen anything so succinct, simple, and powerful. Following Brother Thurman’s habits has been remarkably transformative for me in just a few days. This is how I’m going to make this good man better.”
— Christopher Hochmuth, P.M., 32°
Union Lodge #7 · Colorado
“The stepping-stones that Monty lays out are important steps to the personal growth that we obligate ourselves to. He uses instructions that are reiterative and focused, adding in exercises and questions for you to contemplate in your own time. These deceptively simple steps are personal challenges and strategies that are intrinsic to being a Mason.”
— Rob Elsner, 33°, GCT, KYGCH
Associate Grand Prelate, GEKT · Alabama
“Brother Monty Thurman’s ‘Everyday Mason’ is a timely reminder that the Craft isn’t something you belong to — it’s something you practice. Most of us already know that. But every now and then, a book like this is worth putting in front of the ones who might need the reminder.”
— Glenn A. Blackwood, P.M., 32°
Mystic Tie Lodge #398 · Indiana
