The Solution to the Civility Crisis

Review by Andre H. Faria, Jr. on 11/1/2022

The Civility Mosaic is a MUST READ for anyone serious about learning what it takes to address the issue of incivility in our society and culture. MW Bro. Russ Charvonia does a masterful job of delinating the underlying issues that have led to our current incivility crisis and does so within the context of an objective understanding and presentation of historical facts. While the book utilizes the symbolic tools and teachings of Freemasonry, it can be read by anyone as its lessons are at the heart of what we need to learn to understand how to bring civility into our world. Bro. Charvonia's use of real life examples and how we can approach volatile issues in a solution oriented manner really hits the spot. The book is not only a practical guide about how to teach and model civility but also is written with the greater hope of inspiring the next generation of leaders. I have recommended the book to many of my colleagues and friends. I have no doubt that you will be inspired as well!

Principles to making the world a better place.

Review by Joel Goldenberg on 8/28/2022

Kudos and Thanks to Russ and Michael for writing this book. The book is very well written. The topic, "Principles to Repair our World", is very pertinent. The key is living life and communicating with integrity. I think the world would be a better place if everybody read it and worked at applying its principles. This book could be the foundation of a required semester course in high school or college.

Great book!

Review by Wife of a Mason on 5/21/2022

I saw Russ speak and was inspired to buy this book. My husband has been a Mason for 25 years, and I never understood their tag line of "Making Good Men Better" until I read this book. It is helpful to have a working understanding of some Masonic basics before reading this book, but not necessary. The advice on how to treat each other and how to make yourself a better person is spot on. It is a must read for all Masonic families.
