Walking in the nearly forgotten footsteps of the legendary first Knights Templar, an American and a 68-year old Frenchman embark on a mission all their own. Traveling simply and trusting in the kindness of strangers, they set off to carry a message of peace along the path of the First Crusades, a route historically used for war. Their incredible journey leads them thousands of miles across eleven countries and two continents toward Jerusalem. After the outbreak of war in Israel, everything is uncertain – except for their steadfast and perhaps life-threatening resolve.
ALONG THE TEMPLAR TRAIL weaves a richly detailed Chaucerian tapestry of characters, intrigue, and adventure with personal growth and social commentary. Their poignant tale is a powerful testimony to the courage of the human spirit and affirmation of the vision of peace still very much alive in the world today. It also provides a signpost for those who dream of making a similar journey along this trail – one destined to become a path of peace for people of all nations, cultures and faiths. With 44 author photos, maps and illustrations.
