A Lutheran pastor, former CIA, and onetime Navy SEAL stands
at the heart of Ray Keating’s exciting and thoughtful Pastor Stephen Grant
novels.
Not only does the host of KFUO radio’s BookTalk call Keating
“a great novelist,” but Keating’s latest thriller, MURDERER’S ROW: A PASTOR
STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL, was named KFUO’s “Book of the Year 2015.” And Kirkus
Reviews says, “Action fans will find plenty to love here, from gunfights and
murder sprees to moral dilemmas.”
For good measure, THE RIVER: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL
was a “Book of the Year” finalist in 2014. Regarding THE RIVER, Kirkus Reviews
declares, “A gritty, action-stuffed,
well-considered thriller with a gun-toting clergyman.”
There’s much more, including…
• 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.”
• A Touchstone magazine review of MURDERER’S ROW says: “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… Perhaps the best part of the book for the reviewer is
that the clergy are good at helping people bring Christ into their vocations.”
• Marvin Olasky,
editor-in-chief of WORLD magazine,
lists Ray Keating among his top 10 Christian novelists. WARRIOR MONK also
ranked as a Top 10 book on a WORLD magazine June 2013 list.
• On WARRIOR MONK, an Amazon reviewer observed, “Most Christian fiction leaves a lot to be desired.
This book will appeal to non-Christians as well. Warrior Monk is about real
people with real desires, emotions and feelings. I am anxious to read the other
books in the series. Readers won't be disappointed.”
• And Lutheran Book Review says: “I miss Tom Clancy. Keating
fills that void for me.”
Get all five of Keating’s
thrillers – MURDERER’S ROW, THE RIVER, AN ADVENT FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, ROOT OF
