Ray Keating’s PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVELS – MURDERER’S ROW, THE RIVER, AN ADVENT FOR
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, ROOT OF ALL EVIL? and WARRIOR MONK – feature a
Lutheran pastor who used to be a Navy SEAL and a CIA operative. Keating’s mix
of mystery, action, faith, real characters and dialogue, intrigue, humor,
romance, and some big issues has received some big thumbs up from reviewers.
For example, on MURDERER’S ROW, Kirkus Reviews says, “Action
fans will find plenty to love here, from gunfights and murder sprees to moral
dilemmas.” And Kirkus Reviews also gives a big thumbs up to THE RIVER: “A
gritty, action-stuffed, well-considered thriller with a gun-toting clergyman.”
But there’s more. It turns out that many real-life pastors are
enjoying the adventures of a fictional colleague…
• “Ray Keating is a great novelist.”
• “Good novel, holds your attention, and the good guy is a
minister!”
• “I miss Tom Clancy. Keating fills that void for me.”
• “Mr. Keating's
storytelling is so lifelike that I almost thought I had worked with him when I
was at Langley. Like the fictitious pastor, I actually spent 20 years working
for the U.S. intelligence community, and once I started reading THE RIVER, I
had to keep reading because it was so well-crafted and easy to follow and
because it depicted a personal struggle that I knew all too well. I simply
could not put it down.”
• “This Presbyterian
pastor thoroughly enjoyed all of them! Anxiously awaiting the next…”
• “ROOT OF ALL EVIL? is an extraordinarily good read.”
• “I loved every second of it.”
• “Keating has created in WARRIOR MONK a cleric who for pastors, in the midst of what often seems a
routine life, could become a part of an exciting and pleasurable fantasy.”
• “This is a great
book - very akin to the David Morrell style with some suspense, and I love the
great honesty seen in the portrayal of the pastor and the people.”
• “Ray Keating has crafted a wonderful story. I love the
writing style and the little details about life as a Lutheran pastor (LCMS)
that have made it into the story.”
