Profound Philosophical Pontifications of Big John Deacon

The adventures continue in Volume IV with Brother Big John Deacon a larger-than-life Texas Freemason and Past Master. He towers at 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighs in at 275 pounds. People seem to always notice him in his black alligator boots and 7X Stetson Silverbelly cowboy hat. He commands attention when he walks into a room with his plain-spoken and exuberant personality. Brother Chris Williams met him several years ago when Brother Deacon's large black F-350 pick-up truck needed repairs. Brother Williams has authentically captured Big John's gruff but gentle cowboy charm and values, which his Masonic membership reinforces. The story of their friendship and adventures is appealing and memorable. Readers may also be familiar with the "Old Tyler's Talks" by Carl H. Claudy, which first appeared in 1921. In many ways, the John Deacon series is a contemporary version of them. Within the pages of each book, there is a pearl of folksy wisdom that is timeless. Brother Deacon is a mix of walking (and mechanical) disasters and knowledge born of passion and profound reflections on Freemasonry and today's Lodge challenges. The John Deacon book series will have readers laughing, crying, and, more importantly, reflecting on Freemasonry.
