Award-winning novelist Ray Keating’s
Pastor Stephen Grant thrillers –
MURDERER’S ROW, THE RIVER, AN ADVENT FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, ROOT OF ALL EVIL?
and WARRIOR MONK – focus on a onetime Navy SEAL and former CIA operative
who becomes a Lutheran pastor.
Not only was MURDERER’S ROW: A PASTOR
STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL named “Book of the Year 2015” by KFUO’s “BookTalk,” but
Kirkus Reviews says, “Action fans will find plenty to love here, from gunfights
and murder sprees to moral dilemmas.” For
good measure, Kirkus Reviews gives a big thumbs up to THE RIVER: “A gritty,
action-stuffed, well-considered thriller with a gun-toting clergyman.”
On WARRIOR MONK: A PASTOR STEPHEN
GRANT NOVEL, a reviewer, who also happens to be a pastor and author, points
out: “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… 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. Grant is not without his Flambeau
either. Both characters are the perfect mouthpiece for the authors to
speak to the ills of the world in their day and age… The fun never stops.
Truly from cover to cover you’re in for a treat.”
Finally, 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.”
