KFUO radio's "BookTalk" Ray Keating is a "great novelist." Advent and Christmas approach. It's supposed to be a special season for Christians. But it's different this time in New York City. In AN ADVENT FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL, religious liberty is under assault. The Catholic Church has been called a "hate group." And it's the newly elected mayor of New York City who has set off this religious and political firestorm. Some people react with prayer - others with violence and murder. Stephen Grant, former CIA operative turned pastor, faces deadly challenges during what becomes known as "An Advent for Religious Liberty." Grant works with the Cardinal who leads the Archdiocese of New York, the FBI, current friends, and former CIA colleagues to fight for religious liberty, and against dangers both spiritual and physical. AN ADVENT FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL is a thriller torn from today's headlines. It's a different, fast-paced, action-packed story of politics and violence trying to undermine faith during the Advent and Christmas season. Amazon.com readers have compared Ray Keating's thrillers to the works of Clancy, Ludlum, Grisham, and Cussler.
