Pastor Stephen Grant?

Stephen Grant is the pastor at St. Mary’s Lutheran Church on eastern Long Island. Grant is one of the more unique second-career clergy around, as he once worked for the CIA. Besides theology, his interests include archery, golf, writing, classic films, the beach, poker, baseball, and history. Grant also knows his wines, champagnes and brews. Oh yes, he generally dislikes politicians, and happens to be an expert marksman with a handgun and a rifle, while being pretty handy with a combat knife as well.

5-Star Review of "Root of All Evil?"

Latest Amazon.com review of Root of All Evil? A Pastor Stephen Grant Novel by Ray Keating gives the book five stars. It's declared:

"I found this second venture in the world of Pastor Grant to be very rewarding and exciting. I love how faith values are deeply integrated into espionage/thriller plot lines. Some sequels are weak but this one is well built on the foundation laid in Warrior Monk and shows a deep understanding of how faith and life can inform each other. Entertaining and great read!"
