about Marty Gool
At Strength to Grow Your Faith, we believe the Book of Revelation was never meant to frighten believers—it was intended to strengthen them.
For too long, Revelation has been taught through the lens of doom and prediction. But what exists in the Book of Revelation is so much more. What do we see? We see a Lamb. We see covenant. We see God’s steadfast love revealed through ḥesed (steadfast love), qadosh (holiness), and berith (covenant faithfulness).
Marty Gool, a lifelong shepherd who has spent over fifty years walking with people through their confusion, crisis, and spiritual hunger. Strength to Grow Your Faith was created to meet believers where they are. Even in those when the challenges of life seemingly have halted your forward progress. Those Gethsemane moments when we know what we have to is not what we want to but what we have been called to do. It is in those moments when we look back are reminded. If God had not been on my side we would not have made it.

about the book
sealed for the Lamb
the last resistance
“Sealed for the Lamb: The Last Resistance“ is a Christian dystopian novel set in a near future society dominated by an authoritarian regime known as the Dominion. The story follows Elara Kain, a brilliant engineer who once helped design the neural technology that now enslaves humanity.
In New Alexandria, citizens are controlled through the Mark, a neural implant that connects them to the Thought Grid, suppressing independent thought and spiritual awareness. Elara, haunted by her role in creating this technology, has defected to join a hidden resistance movement called the Sealed Ones, those who bear the mark of the Lamb rather than the Beast.
When the Dominion announces the implementation of Mark 2.0, a technology that will permanently erase human free will, Elara and the resistance must act. With resistance leader Marcus and mentor figure Ezra guiding their efforts, they launch a desperate mission to infiltrate the Central Administration Tower and broadcast the truth to awakening citizens.
