Raymond E. Foster is an author whose work explores leadership, character, Freemasonry, and lived
experience. Among his published books are The Temple Within, Chasing the Surge: Ten Thousand Rides into the American
Night, and (co-authored) Leadership: Texas Hold ’Em Style—representative works within a broader
body of writing shaped by service, reflection, and responsibility.
These books move between the inner work of moral formation and the outer realities of decision-making,
service, and consequence. They are written for readers who value discipline, meaning, and thoughtful leadership—not
as abstractions, but as lived practice.
Here you’ll find selected books, essays, and ongoing reflections, each contributing to a larger conversation
about character, leadership, and the standards by which a life is measured.
