The Floridant/10288309

DAVENPORT, Fla. - Floridant -- The second edition of An Advent for Religious Liberty: A Pastor Stephen Grant Novel by Ray Keating has been released.

As one reviewer said, "Ray Keating has a knack for writing on topics that could be pulled from tomorrow's headlines" (Lutheran Book Review). And that's definitely the case with An Advent for Religious Liberty.

In this page-turner, Advent and Christmas approach. It's supposed to be a special season for Christians. But it's different this time in New York City. 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.

From a new review…

"Channeling contemporary fears and crises into a compelling story, Keating raises the political stakes for Pastor Grant in this installment, with the pastor righteously battling for his beliefs, his community, and the freedoms he holds dear. This headline-inspired novel is more politically focused than other installments in the series, but it is no less fast-paced and suspenseful, while offering timely insight into the messy side of politics, religion, and the management of a city."  - Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
