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.

How About a Thrilling Comic-Con Adventure for National Superhero Day?
Enjoy HEROES AND VILLAINS: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT SHORT STORY – Reviewers Love It and Kindle Edition on Sale for Only $2.99!
Stephen Grant, the onetime Navy SEAL, former CIA operative and current Lutheran pastor, must confront violence springing from a toxic mix of pop culture and ideological extremism. Grant finds himself in an entirely unfamiliar setting – a comic book, science fiction and fantasy convention. But he still joins forces with a unique set of heroes in an attempt to foil a villainous plot against one of the all-time great comic book writers and artists.
Reviewers are giving it a big thumbs up...
"In this short story, Keating's (Reagan Country, 2018, etc.) recurring cleric Stephen Grant steps up to help a popular comic-book creator targeted by armed assailants... When kidnappers eventually abduct someone, Stephen is quickly on their trail, and he has plenty of help--a convention's worth of superheroes. The series' protagonist remains a man of action even though the story isn't novel-length. This relatively short piece is lighter in tone than previous outings, due mainly to its concentration on the cheery setting. Keating respectfully portrays the con as a mostly enjoyable experience... Much of the comedy is appropriate to the setting, as when people assume that the pastors' clerical garments are costumes honoring the real-life comic-book series Preacher. An entertaining, immersive jaunt with a formidable protagonist." - Kirkus Reviews
"Keating manages to instill the same suspense of his other epic thrillers into this unlikely little gem. As he always does, Pastor Grant brings bravado and humility to the table at the same time, instilling the book with morality, action and thought-provoking revelations from start to finish. Keating's creativity and storytelling ability remain on point, for a fun and different take on Pastor Grant, and one that's just as satisfying as longer books in the series." - Self-Publishing Review
"An engaging story that not only entertains, but also confronts the sad reality that creators and their work have been tainted by political agenda." - Tyrel Bramwell, author of The Gift and the Defender
"Heroes and Villains takes you inside all the drama of a comic convention, including that which only Stephen Grant can help with. It's an enjoyable romp complete with the gritty realism of the Burton Batman films, the camp of the Adam West adventures of the 60's, and the modern humor of LEGO Batman.
"If you know the adventures of the Avengers from the movies or the pages, dream of the day of decent DC films, or love the experience of Comic-Con, Heroes and Villains is the read for you!
"Gun-toting clergymen aren't only found in Wyoming. Keating's novels and short stories prove it with Pastor Stephen Grant and his adventures. May they continue! DC and Marvel are famous for telling stories of worlds like ours, yet different. This is the 'multiverse.'Somewhere, there is a world like ours where these stories have their own screen adaptations. How I'd love to see Pastor Grant on Netflix!" - Lutheran Book Review
"This is a fantastic novel... If you are a comic book fan who is fed up with the political correctness that's going on, you have got to pick up Heroes and Villains... I highly recommend this book... I'm definitely going to be paying more attention to Ray Keating, and getting more of his novels." - Jacob Airey, host of StudioJake
"I have good news for you. I was a little worried that a short story isn't worth buying by itself (although I do think short stories can be a masterful way to highlight good writing). At 83 pages, however, this is much more a novella. I don't begrudge what I spent on it at all. There was enough for a satisfying read and an enjoyable time spent...
"There are heroes and villains, ideologies & naïvetés. There's a cast of characters many of us have grown fond of and a fun little setting. I can say I do kind of wish it had been turned into a full novel. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with something a little more episodic like this, something that doesn't necessitate pulling in the whole gang and finding lots of backstory.
"Good summer reading." - Mary Moerbe, "Meet, Write, & Salutary" blog

Ray Keating kicks off a new podcast. But what the heck is PRESS CLUB C?
Keating explains, while also talking self-indulgently about himself and his interests. But he eventually puts aside the navel-gazing, and gets around to talking about some topics. Keating explains what conservatism is, or should be, and reflects upon some key points regarding the coronavirus economy.

Ray Keating Talks about His New Book BEHIND ENEMY LINES: CONSERVATIVE COMMUNIQUES FROM LEFT-WING NEW YORK
BEHIND ENEMY LINES serves up a wide-ranging collection of columns and essays from Ray Keating. These essays cover politics, economics, faith, history, trade, New York, foreign affairs, immigration, pop culture, business, sports, books, and more.
You’ll find paperbacks and the Kindle edition at Amazon.com via https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086PN1NNZ
In these often confusing and contradictory times, Keating describes his brand of conservatism as traditional, American and Reagan-esque, firmly rooted in Judeo-Christian values, Western Civilization, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and essential ideas and institutions such as the Christian Church, the intrinsic value of each individual, the role of the family, freedom and individual responsibility, limited government, and free enterprise and free markets.
Keating is a longtime newspaper and online columnist, economist, policy analyst, podcaster, and novelist.

In these often confusing and contradictory times, Keating describes his brand of conservatism as traditional, American and Reagan-esque, firmly rooted in Judeo-Christian values, Western Civilization, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and essential ideas and institutions such as the Christian Church, the intrinsic value of each individual, the role of the family, freedom and individual responsibility, limited government, and free enterprise and free markets.
There’s a great deal to enjoy, learn from, agree with, get annoyed by, appreciate, reflect on, roll your eyes over, and argue with in this book that offers perspectives on where we are today, where we’ve been, and where we might be headed.
Keating said, “After writing weekly or regular columns and essays for more than thirty years (my rough estimate is that I’ve written more than 8,000 columns, essays and analyses over this period – yikes!), I thought it would be difficult to sort through what makes sense, and what doesn’t, to include in a collection of these musings. But it turned out not to be all that difficult. The simple, primary question was: Does this article, in some way, pass the relevance test today no matter when it happened to be written?”
Keating added, “Trust me, far too many columns and essays that I’ve written wound up holding little relevance beyond the week or month in which they were penned and published. The pieces that I’ve included in this book – ranging from pieces published in the 1990s to March 2020 – hopefully possess staying power. My ultimate hope is that readers will find this book informative and engaging, no matter where they might be coming from on the philosophical and political spectrums.”
What are the major sections in BEHIND ENEMY LINES?
I. What is Conservatism?
II. Politics: Unsavory and Not-So-Unsavory
III. Economics Isn’t Dismal ... Unless Left to Politicians, the Media and Professors
IV. Lessons from the 2008 Mess and Its Aftermath

Praise from reviewers includes...
"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

4 Recent Thumbs Up for the Pastor Stephen Grant Thrillers & Mysteries
Here are four nice comments/reviews of the Pastor Stephen Grant novels and short stories...
“My daughter Mary Moerbe has compiled a list of contemporary Lutheran novelists, many of whom are working in the formula genres and are self-publishing, but some of those are well-done and fun to read (such as Ray Keating's Pastor Stephen Grant series, about a James-Bond type CIA agent who becomes a Lutheran pastor, but still sometimes has to revert to his former life. Talk about being between two kingdoms!).”
– Gene Edward Veith,
a Patheos.com columnist, retired literature professor,
Provost Emeritus at Patrick Henry College,
director of the Cranach Institute at Concordia Theological Seminary,
and his latest book is
Post-Christian: A Guide to Contemporary Thought and Culture
“Just finished reading The Traitor. Another good one. Couldn’t put it down.”
– Facebook reviewer on
THE TRAITOR: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL
“Great time to sit with good books. Each packed with theology and suspense.”
– Facebook reviewer on the Pastor Stephen Grant novels
“My faves are a tie between Mitch Rapp (Mitch Rapp series by the late Vince Flynn and his follow-up authors) and Paige Caldwell (Pastor Stephen Grant Novels by Ray Keating). Mitch Rapp is simply has a one-track ongoing mission, eliminating threats to the U.S. in the swiftest, most engaging and fiercest ways possible. Paige Caldwell is simply cool in her handling of crises when telling off terrorists and other thugs before eliminating them. Both are the take-no-prisoners types with that relentless and entertaining edge that make combat scenes great to read... Oh, and a close second is Pastor Stephen Grant. CIA turned pastor knows how to jump into action when called from the pastoral duties to the clandestine efforts Keating features in his books. And, still, his conscience binds him even when his Christian vocations interweave, grow taut, or seem in outright conflict with each other.”
– Facebook reader, David R.
