Have you ever wondered what Heaven is like? According to The
Washington Times, with 84% of the world’s population being religious, most of
those have a belief in a Heaven and a Hell.
And Heaven just got a little bit closer! In the release of
his new book, “Scars of my Guardian Angel”, now available on Amazon.com and in
the Amazon Kindle store, Russell L. Martin gives us a beautifully vivid image
of what Heaven may be like. The elegantly crafted Christian Fiction novel shows
us just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what Christians may be able to
look forward to after the death of our Earthly bodies.
Quote from the Author
“After losing my daughter Summer Allyce, back in 2008, I
have to say it turned my life upside down. I’ve loved the Lord all of my life
but this devastating event drew me closer to our maker than ever before. Living
a normal life and staying busy with making a living chasing Pipeline
construction all over the country, I continued to live with a gigantic hole in
my heart. I have to admit I lost interest in hunting, fishing, traveling even
riding my 200 mph crotch rocket. I found myself being molded into someone I
really didn’t even know. Time and time again I would turn down opportunities to
go on amazing trips with some of my more adventurous friends. Now don’t get me
wrong, I didn’t walk around with my lip hung out thinking “woe is me”. I hid it
well, this hole or should I say emptiness was deep down inside so that no one
could see other than my sweet wife Laura. As I continued my Bible studies,
prayer time, and just plain ol’ quiet time, I didn’t realize God was up to
something special. He began waking me in the wee hours of the morning with the
strangest ideas. Well you might even say a type of visions, because they were
as clear as pictures hanging on a wall. This went on for quite some time until
they finally became consuming and was just about all I could think about.
Finally, when I felt it was more to it than a wild imagination, I gave in to writing
“Scars of My Guardian Angel”. With my limited knowledge of writing, I thought I
would get my message across with a small book no larger than a children’s book.
Our Maker had other plans, and 95,000 words later, I have only just begun with
the “Portal Series”. Says; Russell L. Martin.
The first book in the “Portal Series” is based off the true
life events of the writer, paired with his love for his daughter, incredible
dreams, and covered in a healthy dose of the Holy Spirit. It follows the life
of the main character Chado Cole, who as a Christian knows that his death; is
just the beginning.
Following a suspenseful Deep Sea diving accident, Chado soon
realizes that God has much more in store for him than he could have ever
imagined, and after being chauffeured from the bottom of the ocean by two
child-like angels, he gets to meet his magnificent warrior angel “Uriel”. “God is giving you a little touch of
knowledge, just take it in, it’s going to get better.” One of his tiny angels
tells him.
After a trip across God’s creation and through a series of
portals, Chado finally gets to set foot on the planet of Heaven where he sees
his father and daughter for the first time in years and has a heart-wrenching
reunion that will leave you speechless.
“Russell L. Martin has a unique way of writing that gives
you enough detail that you can fully envision each and every fantastic scene,
but you won’t get lost in the wording. It always makes a book so much better when
you don’t have to fight your way through all the fluff.” says Jennifer
Michiels, author of “Divine Instruction”. “It is such a God inspired work of
art that every Christian will benefit from reading.”
Russell said, “When I was almost finished with the first
book, I told my wife I wouldn’t be writing another one. Again, God hasn’t
changed His plans. After my prayer time at the barn, He still sits me down at
my lap top, turns the world off, and turns His movie on. I have surrendered to
His challenge of continuing with His message through my hands in a unique way
of sharing the gospel. Who knows, God might give me back the desire to pick up a
fishing pole, but for now, it’s time for me to serve Him by continuing the
“Portal Series”.
Russell L. Martin is a devout Christian with a love for the
Lord that is nearly unrivaled. He’s a down-to-earth kind of guy that spends
most of his days at home in Dry Prong, Louisiana with his horses, playing
music, worshiping the Lord, and working on the next book in the “Portal Series”
called “Bloodline of the Scrolls”. You can see more about what he’s up to by
