For her entire life, Rose’s life has been under everyone else’s control. The father who abandoned her, her mother’s poor decisions—even the bullies who made her feel worthless at school.
Now, after learning mixed martial arts, she finally feels as though she can achieve something for herself. But despite her successes in fighting, a cold emptiness still remains. And to make matters worse, she continues to drift further away from her best friend Todd.
Hardened by the troubles of her past, Rose finds herself a pawn in a conflict much larger than herself—a spiritual war between good and evil, taking place in her hometown of Hopetown, New Zealand.
But in order to truly experience the life-altering nature of God’s love, she’ll need to put aside her former struggles—and in doing so, open herself up to a spiritual journey that she’ll never forget.

About the author
Gary Martin
5 books4 followersI've spend the last ten years living in Auckland city and working my dream job out in rural West Auckland, servicing the lines that run through the Waitakere Ranges and along the West Coast beaches, as a network engineer Only when I had a year off for eye surgery did I begin to write. Last year as I recovered, I wrote a devotional and three books.
My books are biblically based and centered on glorifying God and provoking thought regarding faith, eternal realities and hope in Christ.
Hike to Heaven is a deeply personal book, where I fictionalized many experiences I've had as a Christian. I wanted to write a story that is both inspiring, informative and entertaining, in the style of Pilgrim's Progress and other old Christian Fiction. It's a story of endurance, transformation—showing where true faith leads us on our journey.
Across the Great Divide, love and hope in the End Times, is a story I was given the night I finished writing a book for someone — fictionalizing parts of their life-story. I was about to fall asleep when I had a picture of a woman, blinded, isolated and battling to hold on to her faith in God during the last days.
It's a very fast paced story based around the End Times.
I'm currently working on another two books.
