Gilbert Edward Martin II

Nickname: 'Gil'

An Author. A Humanitarian . An Entrepreneur


Born in Walkerville South Africa

"May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand." - visit www.gilbertmartin.co.za

I have authored four books, run my own hosting and web development and design company and also run as the President of The Raise Your Hand and Open Your Heart Foundation.

Many in my life see me as a man of peace and most know that I will lay down my life for others, not because I expect it in return, but because that is what you do when you truly care about people.

A Little Bit of Faith
2011

So many have said it before, all you have to have is a little bit of faith, let me share my experience with you.

contradiction is saying that there is nothing unique about me, other than having a unique perspective.

You see, we all have dreams, but we never seem to find them and keep them, we always wonder if what we do is good enough and the majority feel that they have failed. In the end it’s all about perspective, isn’t it?

Somehow we have all made it this far, so we continue on this road together and it isn’t easy, nor simple.

Maybe this is some strange way for me to reach out to those who feel that life is public enemy number one, maybe the words contained in this book could change your life or cause you to have heart failure from laughter either way the message in this book is a simple one, one that we constantly forget.

You see, from what I have learnt and through my experience of daily life and seeing the world in the state it is, I have found one thing lacking in the hearts of many, the ability to never, ever give up, to have a little bit of faith and to ultimately realize your dream in the midst of the storm.

The Ten Scrolls - The Journey of Honesty
2011

They say it is always darkest before dawn.

A world crushed by both ends, a world almost defeated, calls out in desperation to the people of Earth.

Once long ago, you played in the fields, with friends, when the world was simple. You laughed and you were free, remember those days.

Auril needs you, to find your true self once more and set your childlike smile against the unfolding darkness.

Nothing now stands between Aeon and the great veil of Belief, your world begins to turn upside down, you are now this story and you are all that can hinder the forces from breaching the protection between our worlds.

You must believe, before time runs out, before the shadow encompasses all of creation.

There is a lesson to learn and the remainder of the story remains unwritten.

Only those who remember will find the way.

They say the light of one true heart can breach the greatest darkness, is it your heart that sees the message of this story.

Is this the end of the journey, for us all?

ISBN : 978-0987007728

The Ten Scrolls - The Journey of Understanding
2011

The forces of Aeon gather as they march against the Earth, their hope lies in the visions and heart of a strange young boy.

The Order stands in disbelief as Matthew, an orphan from Earth, explains how he found his way through the Veil of Belief, into the world of Auril.

He has upset the balances of destiny and the Order now realizes the terrible truth that time has run out.

They have to find The Ten Scrolls and unlock their ancient secrets, or the days of their world will come to a sudden end.

Aeon gets wind after his defeat at Illudhuin that a way has opened to Earth.

He amasses his armies and all the darkness within the kingdom of Aeon, leading his armies, he marches upon the world of Auril.

Through dark and perilous adventures, the Order embark on an impossible mission to find the remaining nine scrolls and decipher what they mean, the last hope to restore light into the heart of Auril and save Earth.

ISBN : 978-0987007711

The Ten Scrolls - The Journey of Trust
2011

A journey begins to unite the races of Auril. The tides of doom descend upon its lands. Is this the end of all things?

Their time has joined with ours.

ISBN: 978-0987007704
All the magical things you believed in as a child and others you never heard of, are about to come to life.

It appears that all is lost. Soon the magical veil of belief that protects and hides their world from ours will fade and Aeon will take dominion over all of creation.

The mighty will of Aeon controls and overpowers the people of Auril.

Across the veil, the Earth is erupting, great winds of change move across the face of your planet, it defends you, like a mother, from the evil that sets it will against your existence.

From within the magical city of Endorin, a light shines, calling once more the races of Auril to unite and to save the very existence of life.

The scrolls of time are open and the truth of your world is before you.

My child, you are the beacon that will change the history of this world and ours.

Remember, as you once did when you were a child, for that is all that can undo the destruction surrounding us all.

Gilbert Martin Website
2006

We are all a part of the world, and so am I. Like you I am a citizen of this world, lent only for a short while and in this time I intend on doing as much as possible with my life for the benefit of others, with everything I am able to do and that God has talented me to do.

I am a Christian but I have respect for all lifestyles, races and religions and believe that we are not different. In all our differences, there is one thing that remains and always is a similarity, our ability to love and everything that follows this.

The world in its current form hurts me, I believe that we can make this world a better place and the lives we live and we can be proud of, if we just try harder and are willing to give up just that little bit more.
