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.

Book of the Month: Murderer's Row

MURDERER’S ROW is the Pastor Stephen Grant Book of the Month for March. The Kindle price has been slashed from $5.99 to $2.99.  In addition, signed paperbacks are on sale, and MURDERER’S ROW is available for free as part of Pastor Stephen Grant book sets at https://raykeatingonline.com/t/book-of-the-month.


MURDERER’S ROW was named “Book of the Year” by KFUO radio’s “BookTalk,” and it features baseball, terrorism, a string of grisly murders, sordid politics, and a Lutheran pastor who once was a Navy SEAL and CIA operative. The book has received high praise, including…

"The author packs a lot into this frantically paced novel... a raft of action sequences and baseball games are thrown into the mix. The multiple villains and twists raise the stakes...  Action fans will find plenty to love here, from gunfights and murder sprees to moral dilemmas."  - Kirkus Reviews
    
"I miss Tom Clancy. Keating fills that void for me."   - Lutheran Book Review
  
"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. Keating, an economist and experienced business writer, does extremely well in portraying the politicos and their machinations at all levels of government, as well as the machinations of the news media, of which he is a longtime member. He obviously knows his way around the bases and dugout, too, as does his hero, who becomes a baseball chaplain." - Touchstone magazine

"I really enjoyed the baseball references! The complexity of the plot was great. Structure and flow were great. This was just a super pleasing read!"  - Mary Moerbe, author of Blessed: God's Gift of Love and Family Vocation
