If Mom loves to read good mysteries/thrillers that also
embrace her Christian faith, then Ray Keating’s unique Pastor Stephen Grant
novels make for ideal Mother’s Day gifts. Unique? Well, how else to describe
Stephen Grant - a onetime Navy SEAL and former CIA operative who becomes a
Lutheran pastor? Let’s just say, his old experiences and skills still come in
handy.
If you need more, here’s a Top 10 list on why the Pastor
Stephen Grant novels make great gifts…
1. MURDERER’S ROW: A PASTOR
STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL by Ray Keating named “Book of the Year 2015” by “BookTalk”
on KFUO Christian radio.
2. On MURDERER’S ROW, Kirkus
Reviews says, “Action fans will find plenty to love here, from gunfights and
murder sprees to moral dilemmas.”
3. Kirkus Reviews also gives
a big thumbs up to THE RIVER: “A gritty, action-stuffed, well-considered
thriller with a gun-toting clergyman.”
4. THE RIVER: A PASTOR
STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL was a “Book of the Year” finalist in 2014.
5.
From a Washington Times review of THE RIVER written by a pastor and former
CIA officer: “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.”
6. The host of KFUO radio’s
“BookTalk,” calls Ray Keating “a great novelist.”
7. A Touchstone magazine
review of MURDERER’S ROW says: “This is a fun read, though the embedded
theology is real and salutary. There is death and life, adultery and
commitment, friendship and betrayal, violence and victory over violence… Perhaps
the best part of the book for the reviewer is that the clergy are good at
helping people bring Christ into their vocations.”
8. Marvin Olasky, editor-in-chief of WORLD magazine,
lists Ray Keating among his top 10 Christian novelists.
9. Lutheran Book Review
says: “I miss Tom Clancy. Keating fills that void for me.”
10. WARRIOR MONK was ranked
as a Top 10 book on a WORLD magazine June 2013 list.
