When writing a series of thrillers/mysteries that feature a Lutheran pastor, it’s great to earn some nice reviews from real-life Lutheran pastors. Ray Keating’s Pastor Stephen Grant novels and short stories have done just that.
Among the thumbs-up from such clergy for the most recent Pastor Stephen Grant books were the following:
On SHIFTING SANDS...
5-stars on Amazon: “There's always a pleasant suspension of disbelief while reading Ray Keating's Stephen Grant novels, but that doesn't take away from the way he weaves together the importance of faith as the foundation for everyone who faces challenges, both big and small. And Keating's writing keeps getting better and better! He has a knack for these short stories along with the novel-length pieces. Another enjoyable read!”
On HEROES AND VILLAINS...
5-stars on GoodReads: “An engaging story that not only entertains, but also confronts the sad reality that creators and their work have been tainted by political agenda.”
On REAGAN COUNTRY:
5-stars on Amazon: “How's this for a relevant novel...there's political upheaval in Russia and the relationship between East and West is in jeopardy! Ray Keating has put together another winner in this thrilling Pastor Stephen Grant novel. His writing has become so good that I can barely put his books down after starting them. If you're on the fence on this book, just get it - the characters and story are put together very well, all your favorite characters from the other books are here, and you get a ringside seat to the action as Pastor Stephen Grant does it all - from praying to teaching to fighting evil! Enjoy!”
On LIONHEARTS...
From Pastor Rod Zwonitzer, former host of KFUO radio’s “BookTalk”: “Keating builds on solid theological ground in all his novels and this is no exception. In this novel, a homegrown radical jihadist scheme that attacks soft US targets creates the scenario into which Grant and his cohorts enter to produce a highly charged mystery train for the reader to ride with anticipation to the outcome. Again, I recommend to prospective and veteran Pastor Grant novel readers, 'Ray Keating is a great novelist!' Thanks Ray and let's go for a least a dozen in the series.”
