3 Reasons for Reading the Pastor Stephen Grant Mysteries/Thrillers: Why a New Edition of Warrior Monk?

A new second edition of Warrior Monk: A Pastor Stephen Grant Novel has just been published. Why should readers bother with it?

1. New Author Introduction. The new edition has an introduction from Ray Keating, the author of the Pastor Stephen Grant novels. Keating addresses “a few questions people had about the book. For example, what exactly led to writing this story? What the heck was I thinking while writing? What were my expectations? What’s been the response? And more broadly, what’s the point of this endeavor?” Keating also notes “a set of rules that I set down early, and have tried to stick with while writing each subsequent book.”

2. A New Epilogue. Keating has added a new epilogue in this second edition, which provides a peek at or glimpse of an upcoming Pastor Stephen Grant novel. We’ll leave it at that.

3. Thumbs-Up Reviews. Warrior Monk has received assorted thumbs-up reviews. That includes the following comment from Tyrel Bramwell, author of The Gift and the Defender: “It's a spectacular ride steeped in theological intrigue! As a fan of G.K. Chesterton I delighted in the similarities between Keating's Pastor Stephen Grant and Chesterton's Father Brown. In the 20th century, Chesterton, a journalist (among other things), gave the world a detective priest. In the 21st, another journalist (among other things), Keating, gave the world a spy-turned-pastor." As for Amazon reviews, the average rating is 4.4 out of 5 stars.

Review of THE GIFT AND THE DEFENDER

Review of THE GIFT AND THE DEFENDER (THE LUMEN LEGENDS SERIES – BOOK 1) by Tyrel Bramwell, Grail Quest Books, 2016

As one begins to move through Tyrel Bramwell’s THE GIFT AND THE DEFENDER, the reader is pulled in, wondering how the two timelines or worlds the author offers could possibly relate. We are introduced to a familiar, modern-day world via a character bestowed with a staggering power. But we also get to know another individual and his allies in a Medieval-like, fantasy setting.

Bramwell does not disappoint. Without spoiling anything, the reader discovers the truth, and is set on a fascinating path. The book serves up a great deal about human nature, as well as being rich with biblical allegories. THE GIFT AND THE DEFENDER manages to be both thought-provoking and a true page-turner. The reader will be delighted, especially, for this reader, over the second-half of the book. In the end, Bramwell offers the rare combination of imaginative, substantive, and fun. Well done!

Big Thumbs Up Review of Warrior Monk

A BIG review of WARRIOR MONK: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL from Tyrel Bramwell...

"With powerful endorsements by both a congressman (Pete King) and a well known reporter (Larry Kudow) on the cover, I was aching to get into this book. The first of Ray Keating’s Pastor Stephen Grant novels, Warrior Monk, catches your attention from page one. It reads like one of Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp adventures, dishing out details and action at a fast pace. And in the midst of that action Keating manages to brilliantly present the reader with thought provoking truths..."
