Exciting spiritual warfare surprises as well

Posted on January 9, 2018 by David BergslandJanuary 9, 2018

Kingdom Come,  by Justin Coogle, has exciting spiritual warfare surprises for you. The blurb reads like a Roman Catholic nightmare. But the book is really much better than that. Because of the obvious RC setting, I was concerned as I started. … Continue reading →

Christian Science Fiction: Lynessa’s Curse by Adam David Collings

Posted on March 27, 2016 by David BergslandMarch 27, 2016

A quest with some large twists makes for a fun story. It takes place on Mars, 300 years after the collapse of civilization. The society is roughly feudal and the old technologies are seen as magic. Most of my concerns … Continue reading →

Christian Epic Fantasy: King’s Folly by Jill Williamson

Posted on March 24, 2016 by David BergslandMarch 24, 2016

I was hesitant to use the word Christian in the title, because this is definitely not a Christian book. I know Jill is a Christian author, and she has virtually promised that the series will arrive at this spiritual destination … Continue reading →

Romancing Death: A True Story of Vampirism, Death, the Occult, and Deliverance

Posted on November 28, 2015 by David BergslandNovember 28, 2015

Excellent information on spiritual evil in our society So, the book is written by a man who used to be a vampire. Blood is presented as a strongly addictive substance with effects similar to cocaine…powerfully attractive. His comments throughout match … Continue reading →

Christian Western review: Dust Storm by Cliff Ball

Posted on August 18, 2015 by David BergslandAugust 18, 2015

It could be so much more I hate writing bad reviews, but this short story is typical of what has produced the bad rep of “Christian fiction”. It’s utterly predictable, no tension, everything happens smoothly with little real conflict. Even … Continue reading →

Christian speculative fantasy fiction book review: Yield by J. R. Pierce

Posted on June 24, 2015 by David BergslandJune 24, 2015

This was a rough start for me. It took two tries. But I finally slid into the story after about 100 pages into this book which was 1288 pages on my iPad. But it was worth it. A speculative fiction, … Continue reading →

Christian fantasy book review: The Keeper of Edelyndia (The Keeper Chronicles Book 1) by Benjamin J. Denen

Posted on June 17, 2015 by David BergslandJune 17, 2015

I have to admit a bit of guilt in enjoying an “angel becomes human” tale. I tend to despise such stories. Yet this one works. In fact, it gets stranger than that. The fantasy has the ring of truth though there … Continue reading →

Christian Fantasy book review: Aerisia, Land Beyond the Sunset by Sarah Ashwood

Posted on May 29, 2015 by David BergslandJune 28, 2015

Ok, I don’t like clean reads or fantasies which devolve into a man and a woman struggling with thwarted desire. This book is both. Because it’s just a clean read, I have to give it a one-star rating in this … Continue reading →

Christian fantasy book review: Galthain’s Bones by Krystine Kercher

Posted on May 7, 2015 by David BergslandMay 24, 2015

Galthain’s Bones (Exile Book 1) I didn’t know this was a prequel or I would have probably rejected it. However, like Krystine’s Legends of Astarkand this book grew on me and I really enjoyed it. This is nearly the beginning of the … Continue reading →

Christian speculative fiction book review: The Collar and the Cavvarach by Annie Douglass Lima

Posted on April 30, 2015 by David BergslandApril 30, 2015

This is a fun read. It reminded me of the Venture Trilogy—without any spiritual side. An orphan is saved from himself by wise adults and mentors. This is almost an urban fantasy in another world with strong parallels to ours. … Continue reading →
