Watch It Come Down
The distillation of several lifetimes as a master astrologer and seer of the highest degree going back to the time of Christ, Watch It Come Down is a seminal work on the monumental revolution in human consciousness we are in the midst of today, its implications for mankind, and what Mr Martin describes as the inevitable end of Trump and the death and rebirth of America. A work of profound truth, wisdom and transformational power, Watch It Come Down explains in crystal clarity why America is going through a period of such tremendous turmoil, why Trump was elected President, and how to change your life during these troubled times so that you, your children and the others you love begin living on a future timeline of prosperity, power and peace.
Stories for Boys: A Memoir
In this memoir of fathers and sons, Gregory Martin struggles to reconcile the father he thought he knew with a man who has just survived a suicide attempt; a man who had been having anonymous affairs with men throughout his thirty-nine years of marriage; and who now must begin his life as a gay man. At a tipping point in our national conversation about gender and sexuality, rights and acceptance, Stories for Boys is about a father and a son finding a way to build a new relationship with one another after years of suppression and denial are given air and light. Martin’s memoir is quirky and compelling with its amateur photos and grab-bag social science and literary analyses. Gregory Martin explores the impact his father’s lifelong secrets have upon his life now as a husband and father of two young boys with humor and bracing candor. Stories for Boys is resonant with conflicting emotions and the complexities of family sympathy, and asks the questions: How well do we know the people that we think we know the best? And how much do we have to know in order to keep loving them?
