Among the positive reviews for WINE INTO WATER...
"A first-rate mystery makes this a series standout..." - Kirkus Reviews
"In this, Ray Keating's sixth novel featuring Pastor Stephen Grant, we discover that the always intriguing former Navy Seal and CIA operative is also a world class wine aficionado. This comes in handy as the pastor is once again forced to divide his time between his understanding wife, the needs of his church and congregation, and what some describe as his 'hobby' of joining the fray to assist colleagues from his past life when called upon. Grant is a wonderful character and Wine Into Water is a great read." - David Keene, Opinion Editor, The Washington Times
"When Grant's around, nobody messes with the communion wine." - Russ Saltzman, Aleteia.org
"Part thriller and part mystery, Wine into Water is full of action, suspense and an electric cast of characters - both villainous and heroic - that will satisfy fans of crime thrillers." - Self-Publishing Review
"Grant's finely acquired wine tasting skills come into play here as he takes notice of distinct hint of vanilla in a Merlot. Intrigued? You should be as this novel again grabs hold of the reader and accelerates to a unexpected ending. Buy it! Read it! Enjoy it! Gift it!" - Rod Zwonitzer, retired host of KFUO's "BookTalk"
"This is yet another fun thriller from Ray Keating. I loved learning more about the wine industry, and Mr. Keating did a great job weaving church history and communion-use throughout...” - Mary J. Moerbe, author of Blessed: God's Gift of Love and Family Vocation
