Long Island, NY – Novelist Ray Keating not only pens
Christian thrillers that take readers on exciting rides, but he manages to
weave into those tales a host of issues that speak to and challenge
Christianity today.
That includes speculation as to who might succeed Benedict
XVI as pope for the Roman Catholic Church.
Keating said, “There’s a great deal of speculation that the
next pope will come from Africa, Asia or Latin America. That makes sense given
the growing importance of those regions within global Christianity. And that’s
exactly why in my Pastor Stephen Grant novels, I’ve had one pope hail from
Nigeria, and another from the Dominican Republic.”
Keating has written three Christian thrillers – WARRIOR
MONK: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL, ROOT OF ALL EVIL? A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT
NOVEL, and AN ADVENT FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL. He is
working on his next book.
While the novels mix action, intrigue, compelling
characters, humor, and mystery, they also touch on issues that will affect the
next pope and all of Christianity, including religious liberty, moral relativism,
money and the economy, militant secularism, radical Islam, and the role of Holy
Scripture.
U.S. Congressman Peter King (R-NY) has called Keating’s work
“a fast-moving, riveting read right out of today’s – and tomorrow’s – headlines.”
A recent reviewer echoed this: “Ray Keating has a knack for writing on topics
that could be pulled from tomorrow's headlines.”
WARRIOR MONK: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL, ROOT OF ALL
EVIL? A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL, and AN ADVENT FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY: A
PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL are available at Amazon.com.
In addition to being a novelist, Keating is a newspaper
columnist with the Dolan Company and formerly with Newsday, an economist, an entrepreneur and an adjunct college
professor.
Regarding Keating’s thrillers, reviewers and commentators
have used phrases like “fun adventure romp,” “a fun, intriguing read,” and “a
good read, both as pure thriller entertainment and for pondering the Christian
mind.”
Amazon.com readers have compared Ray Keating’s thrillers to
the works of Clancy, Ludlum, Grisham, and Cussler.
Review copies, interviews for the media, and author
appearances are available upon request.
