Best known for his thirty-five years of exploration into the Knights Templar and Phoenician societies, Sanford Holst has written several groundbreaking books about their history. His adventurous travel to many different sites including the Middle East -- along with the intriguing discoveries they have produced -- create spellbinding moments during his speaking events. His talks at universities in the USA and around the world are accompanied by the academic papers that resulted in his being elected to the Royal Historical Society in England. His informative websites are read by more than half a million people each year. Sanford's more recent explorations and talks re-construct the full history of the Knights Templar, tracing the roots of their society back to Solomon's Temple and forward to the knights who survived the attacks on their Order in 1307. That event, in which captured knights were burned at the stake, inspired Dante to write his Inferno beginning in 1308. These events and their surprising consequences are presented in Holst's new book Templar Inferno. Dan Brown had the same idea, and used Dante's writings and the events of those times in his new novel, which is also called Inferno. These two companion books, one fiction and one nonfiction, are seen in Inferno book reviews. On a personal level, Sanford indulges his long-time interests in health and Masonic history as well as the Boomer life and music of his younger days, traveling around the world to find new experiences and intriguing people.

Finding ways we make life better for ourselves and those important to us has always been a deep interest of mine -- and it's one that many of us share. Our traditions and heritage seem to play an important role in that, since many of the things we do have their roots in events that happened much earlier.
We
all do better with the help of good friends. I warmly thank the many
caring people who have given me the benefit of their efforts and support
for all these years. You know you can call on me whenever the need arises.
May you all enjoy the best life has to give! -- Sanford Holst |
