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.

Pastor Stephen Grant Character Quote of the Week from AN ADVENT FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY



An exchange between Father Ron McDermott, Father Tom Stone and Pastor Stephen Grant in An Advent for Religious Liberty: A Pastor Stephen Grant Novel...
     Ron, who was eating the oatmeal, said, “So, what do you make of this guy elected mayor in the city yesterday? The news this morning seems split on his huge margin of victory, and his stupid-ass comments on religion.”
     Tom replied, “An atheist winning big for mayor of New York City? Not exactly surprising territory.”
     “But based on his, as Ron put it, stupid-ass comments last night, he’s more than just an atheist,” commented Stephen.

Facebook Reviewer Calls Shifting Sands "Awesome!"

A new Facebook review of Shifting Sands: A Pastor Stephen Grant Short Story says: "Just finished it! Awesome!"

That adds to the many positive reviews of this exciting tale about beach volleyball, danger and international intrigue.

For example, Self-Publishing Review also said: "Keating compresses what could be a full-length novel into a tightly packaged and page-turning mystery that hums with energy - as is always the case with this series. Rich descriptions, detailed background research, and a confident storytelling tone continue to serve Pastor Grant and his loyal readers exceptionally well. Recommended for fans of the series or as an introduction to Keating's engaging protagonist."
