Finally, an informative manual on Freemasonry that reads like a novel.

Kamel Oussayef, a longtime resident of Winchester, and Jacques G. Ruelland, PhD, of Montreal, Canada, recently co-authored “A Freemason’s Journey Through Space & Time.”

This collaborative work is sponsored by the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library in Lexington, Mass. (formerly known as the Museum of Our National Heritage). Both authors have been active members of Freemasonry for decades.
This captivating book blends historical fiction, spirituality, and philosophical inquiry, all set within the enigmatic world of Freemasonry.

As readers follow the protagonist through the 33 Degrees of Freemasonry, they embark on a global journey that spans diverse historical periods and cultural settings, from before the Middle Ages to the present day.

The narrative also delves into various political, religious, and philosophical traditions, creating a rich, multi-layered experience.

“A Freemason’s Journey Through Space & Time” seamlessly combines multiple literary genres, from historical fiction to science fiction, adding depth and versatility to the story.

This unique structure ensures the book’s appeal to both Masonic and non-Masonic audiences. The hero’s journey, as he evolves spiritually and physically at each stage, echoes the universal human quest for enlightenment and the search for meaning in life.

With its distinctive approach, the book serves both as a thrilling narrative and a Masonic manual, making complex concepts accessible through storytelling. It is designed to be an educational tool for newer members while offering seasoned Masons — and the general public — a rich tapestry of philosophical, historical, and sociological insights.

Grounded in the authors’ deep Masonic experience, the book remains engaging and faithful to the centuries-old teachings of Freemasonry.

“A Freemason’s Journey Through Space & Time” is available at the Winchester Public Library and in Kindle format on Amazon.com.
