A Companion for Faithful Living in a Contemporary Age
About the Book
A "Templar Book of Prayer: A Companion for Faithful Living in a Contemporary Age" is not merely a prayer book—it is a spiritual field manual for the modern Christian pilgrim who refuses to surrender faith to convenience, courage to cynicism, or devotion to noise.'
Rooted in the ancient spiritual inheritance of the Knights Templar and written with a profound awareness of the pressures, doubts, and dislocations of modern life, this volume stands at the crossroads of tradition and the present moment. It offers a living bridge between the sacred disciplines of the past and the urgent spiritual needs of today’s faithful—knights and dames, clergy and laity, leaders and seekers alike.
Within its pages unfolds a carefully structured treasury of prayers crafted for daily devotion, communal worship, ceremonial use, and moments of personal crisis. From morning offerings and evening repose to prayers for courage, endurance, grief, leadership, discernment, and restoration, the book addresses the full arc of the Christian life—not as theory, but as lived experience.
Each prayer speaks with poetic clarity and theological depth, offering language for moments when words fail and resolve when faith is tested.
Distinctive to this work is its unapologetically chivalric spirituality. Drawing upon the enduring symbolism of the Templar Shield and Sword, the prayers invoke not violence, but vigilance; not conquest, but consecration. These ancient emblems are reinterpreted as instruments of spiritual defence, moral clarity, and faithful action in an age marked by uncertainty, distraction, and spiritual fatigue.
Courage is consistently tempered by humility. Strength is inseparable from mercy. Faith is presented not as nostalgia, but as disciplined perseverance.
The tone of the book is solemn yet intimate—never distant, never archaic for its own sake. The language is elevated but accessible, translating the gravitas of liturgical tradition into prayer that feels alive, immediate, and personal. Whether whispered in solitude at dawn, spoken in the quiet of grief, or proclaimed in the shared voice of gathered brethren and sisters, these prayers are designed to be lived, not merely read.
Importantly, this is also a communal book. Reflecting the historic heart of the Ordre du Temple de Jerusalem as a fellowship bound by faith and service, the volume includes prayers specifically composed for assemblies, meetings, ceremonies, leadership, mission, and the preservation of Christian witness.
It affirms that faith is not a solitary endeavour but a shared pilgrimage—one strengthened by fraternity, accountability, and mutual intercession.
Written by Chevalier Gregory J. Fellows KGOTJ, a senior chivalric leader and lifelong Christian devotee, this work carries the voice of someone who understands both the weight of tradition and the demands of contemporary spiritual leadership. It does not romanticise the past, nor does it dilute the faith for modern comfort. Instead, it calls the reader to stand firm—anchored in Christ, strengthened by prayer, and committed to faithful living in a complex world.
Templar Book of Prayer is ideal for:
Knights and Dames of chivalric and Christian orders
Clergy and spiritual leaders seeking structured devotional resources
Lay Christians desiring depth, discipline, and clarity in prayer
Individuals navigating grief, uncertainty, leadership, or spiritual trial
Communities seeking meaningful, reverent communal prayer
This is a book for those who believe faith must be lived with intention, guarded with vigilance, and renewed daily through prayer. It is for those who understand that hope is not fragile, courage is not optional, and prayer is not an escape—but a stand.
In opening these pages, the reader takes up an ancient mantle anew—called not backward into history, but forward into faithful living, resolute discipleship, and enduring trust in God’s providence.
A companion for the journey.
A shield for the soul.
A prayer book for this age.
Reader Reviews
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Prayer Book for Those Who Take Faith Seriously This is not a devotional you skim between appointments. Templar Book of Prayer is a work of spiritual weight and intention, clearly written by someone who understands both ancient Christian tradition and the demands of modern life. The prayers are beautifully composed—reverent, disciplined, and deeply pastoral—offering language for moments when strength is required and silence is heavy. What sets this book apart is its sense of vocation. It speaks directly to Christians who view faith as a calling, not a comfort. Whether used privately at dawn or within a gathered fellowship, it steadies the soul and sharpens spiritual focus. This is a book you return to again and again, not because it entertains, but because it equips.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ancient Depth for Modern Struggle In a world saturated with shallow spirituality, this book stands out as something rare: a prayer companion with backbone. Drawing on the chivalric tradition of the Templars, the prayers are infused with courage, humility, and unwavering trust in God’s providence. Yet the language never feels archaic or distant—it speaks directly to today’s anxieties, leadership burdens, grief, and spiritual exhaustion. I have used this book both personally and in communal settings, and it works beautifully in both. It reminds the reader that prayer is not an escape from responsibility but the foundation for faithful action. For anyone seeking a deeper, more disciplined prayer life, this book is an extraordinary resource.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Steady Companion in an Unsteady World This book feels like it was written for this moment in history. The prayers acknowledge uncertainty, fatigue, and loss without ever surrendering hope or resolve. There is a quiet strength throughout the pages—calm, grounded, and confident in God rather than circumstance. The chivalric framework adds a powerful sense of identity and purpose, especially for those involved in Christian service or leadership. But even beyond that context, this is a profoundly comforting and fortifying prayer book. It does not rush the reader; it stands with them. In times when faith feels heavy and the path unclear, Templar Book of Prayer offers exactly what it promises: a companion.”
