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.

Reagan Documentary Producer Loves "Reagan Country"

Producer of Official President Reagan Documentary Praises REAGAN COUNTRY: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL. Pre-Order the Kindle Edition Today – Publication Date is May 10.

Tom Edmonds, producer of the official documentary of President Reagan,  “Ronald Reagan: An American President,” declares, “President Ronald Reagan’s legacy will live on in the U.S., around the world and in the pages of history. And now, thanks to Ray Keating’s REAGAN COUNTRY, it will live on in the world of fiction. REAGAN COUNTRY ranks as a page-turning thriller that pays homage to the greatest president of the twentieth century.”



What is REAGAN COUNTRY about? As described on the book’s cover: “Could President Ronald Reagan’s influence reach into the former ‘evil empire’? The media refers to a businessman on the rise as ‘Russia’s Reagan.’ Unfortunately, others seek a return to the old ways, longing for Russia’s former ‘greatness.’ The dispute becomes deadly. Conflict stretches from the Reagan Presidential Library in California to the White House to a Russian Orthodox monastery to the Kremlin. Stephen Grant, pastor at St. Mary’s Lutheran Church on Long Island, a former Navy SEAL and onetime CIA operative, stands at the center of the tumult. He is strengthened by his faith, wife, friends, and former CIA colleagues, and is armed with a Glock and Holy Scripture. Grant is the kind of guy that Reagan would have appreciated.”

Finally, in the book’s Author’s Note, Ray Keating writes, “The idea for this Pastor Stephen Grant novel hit me when visiting the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in early 2017. The trip was a joy and meant a great deal… This novel is not about Ronald Reagan per se. Rather, it’s a Pastor Stephen Grant thriller about both longtime and new characters in a hopefully exciting and interesting story. Amidst the action, faith, fun and thrills in the following pages, though, this work of fiction notes and uses Reagan’s influence – speculating on it reaching even into Russia.”

The very early Facebook reviews declare REAGAN COUNTRY to be a “riveting read” and a “great read.”
