LIONHEARTS: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL received a big thumbs-up review from Kirkus Reviews:
“In this seventh entry of a series, terrorists attacking Christians in the United States must contend with the proficient recurring protagonist armed with Scripture and a Glock… By now, fans of Keating’s (Wine Into Water, 2016, etc.) thriller series will anticipate skillfully drawn characters. [Stephen] Grant, for one, is a considerate husband and unquestionably capable in action… The narrative’s swift momentum is retained even during profound moments, like a scene in which terrorists debate their cause after murdering two men that’s intercut with clergymen reciting biblical passages. Though sequences of Grant or [Paige] Caldwell and her team engaged in combat are exhilarating, the story’s brimming with everyday heroes. One political figure, for example, is rescued by a neighbor whose courage is measured by the hefty Desert Eagle gun he brandishes. First-rate supporting characters complement the sprightly pastor, who remains impeccable in this thriller.”
LIONHEARTS: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL by Ray Keating is here! It’s the seventh thriller featuring the onetime Navy SEAL, former CIA operative, and current Lutheran pastor.

the PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVELS. Consider just the following 10 points…
1. Reviewers love WINE INTO WATER. Kirkus Reviews says, “A
first-rate mystery makes this a series standout.” Self-Publishing Review adds,
“Part thriller and part mystery, Wine into Water is full of action,
suspense and an electric cast of characters - both villainous and heroic - that
will satisfy fans of crime thrillers.” And Aleteia.org declares, “In this
adventure, sixth in the series, wine counterfeiters (no, I haven't heard of
that either) infest the vineyards. When Grant's around, nobody messes with the communion
wine.”
2. MURDERER’S ROW: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL by Ray
Keating named “Book of the Year 2015” by “BookTalk” on KFUO Christian radio.
3. On MURDERER’S ROW, Kirkus Reviews says, “Action fans will
find plenty to love here, from gunfights and murder sprees to moral dilemmas.”
4. Kirkus Reviews also gives a big thumbs up to THE RIVER:
“A gritty, action-stuffed, well-considered thriller with a gun-toting
clergyman.”
5. THE RIVER: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL was a “Book of
the Year” finalist in 2014.
6. 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.”
7. The host of KFUO radio’s “BookTalk,” calls Ray Keating “a
great novelist.”
8. 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.”
9. Marvin Olasky,
editor-in-chief of WORLD magazine,
lists Ray Keating among his top 10 Christian novelists.
10. Lutheran Book Review says: “I miss Tom Clancy. Keating
fills that void for me.”
