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.

A Top 10 Christian Novelist Presents a Kick-Butt Lutheran Pastor
Looking for an entertaining thriller
that embraces your Christian faith and values, while not insulting your
intelligence – oh yes, and features a kick-butt Lutheran pastor who used to be
with the CIA?
Ray
Keating has been called “a great novelist” by the host of KFUO’s “BookTalk”
radio, and Amazon.com reviewers have compared his thrillers to the works of
Clancy, Ludlum, Grisham, Cussler, Griffin and Morrell.
The
editor-in-chief of WORLD magazine,
Marvin Olasky, wrote in the June 28, 2014, issue: “Most of my favorite
detective or spy novel authors have written series of books. As it’s hard to
declare one particular book in a series to be best of show, I’ll simply list 10
secular and 10 Christian authors.” And among his top 10 Christian novelists?
Ray Keating, author of the Pastor Stephen Grant series – WARRIOR MONK, ROOT OF ALL EVIL?, AN ADVENT
FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, and the latest, THE RIVER.
Like Stephen
Grant, Kenneth V. Blanchard was with the CIA and is now a pastor. In a Washington Times review of THE RIVER,
Blanchard wrote: “Mr. Keating's storytelling is so lifelike that I almost
thought I had worked with him when I was at Langley. Like the fictitious
pastor, I actually spent 20 years working for the U.S. intelligence community,
and once I started reading ‘The River,’ I had to keep reading because it was so
well-crafted and easy to follow and because it depicted a personal struggle
that I knew all too well. I simply could not put it down… What Ian Fleming's 007
series has probably done for ex-MI-6 agents and Tom Clancy has done for retired
CIA officers, Mr. Keating has done for the minority of former CIA agents who
have served their country by working in the intelligence community, but now
wish to serve God.”
